Individuals who have a condition that causes poor blood flow in your legs as varicose veins can wear compression socks and they may be prescribed by their GP to reduce discomfort and swelling.
Also, compression socks can be worn by athletes, nurses and frequent flyers to support their legs all day.
Also, compression socks can reduce chances of getting deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the body, usually in the legs.
