The top 5 benefits of compression garments are as follow:
1) Varicose Veins; by increasing venous blood return.
2) Occupational/pregnancy/travelers’ edema (swelling) while sitting, standing still allowing the fluid to build up.
3) Leg cramping. Compression helps reduce the intensity and frequency of leg cramps.
4) Sports recovery. By assisting in the removal of lactic acid and increased blood flow.
5) Leg fatigue/comfort, people on their feet or sitting stationary for long periods report to have less fatigue and discomfort when wearing compression socks.
Like all medical devices many people can benefit from them but it is not necessarily needed by everyone.
