Primary Health Sports Copper Compression Socks

So in this blog I am discussing compression socks. Compression socks are socks that differ from regular socks as they go up to the knee and are tight in comparison to other knee socks. They have many benefits and most know of at least one of these benefits. I myself know the medical use for these as my own father recently developed a dangerous blood clot and had to wear compression socks to help with the circulation of his legs to take care of the blood clots that he developed. But what about the other ways to use compression socks? Well thanks to the website ehow I learned of the other uses and can tell you about them too as well as the use I mentioned before.

Medical Use

• Compression tights for medical use support healthy blood circulation in the legs, helping to treat cases of poor circulation, varicose veins, edema and deep vein thrombosis as well as prevent post-surgery blood clots. Likewise, maternity compression tights help to ease the swelling and discomfort that can accompany pregnancy. In some cases, compression socks---which are knee-high rather than waist-high and look like regular dress socks---may be sufficient to promote healthy circulation. Your doctor can help you choose the correct type and grade of compression tights for your needs. If you'll only use the tights temporarily, you may not wish to invest a lot of money in them, but plan to spend more if you'll use them for an extended period.

Athletic Use

• Athletic compression tights differ from medical in that they are designed to support not only the cardiovascular system, but also muscular health and athletic performance. The best athletic compression tights keep the skin cool and dry while maintaining muscle heat and elasticity---helping to enhance the athlete's endurance, agility and speed; prevent muscle injury; reduce the chances of chafing on the inner thigh; and easy the athlete's muscle recovery. For athletic use, look for compression tights in a flexible, moisture-wicking fabric, with built-in UV protection if you'll use them outdoors.

Travel

• Also called flight socks, travel compression garments focus solely on applying enough compression to keep blood circulating through your legs and reduce the risk of developing blood clots during long periods of sitting. If you only need your compression tights for travel, a pair of flight socks will serve the purpose, without costing as much as athletic compression tights. They also can be more comfortable than waist-high tights for use underneath pants and jeans, which often lend themselves to travel
  .

So now that we know more about the socks and their benefits of wearing them let us now look at these socks by this company. Below I have modeled the socks so you can see them exactly. Now to look at them they seem like any pair of knee high socks you can buy on the market. But to wear them you can feel the tightening around your legs but not so much like an uncomfortable socks are too small tight but more of a the fabric is hugging your legs kind of tightness.These are very comfortable to wear and don't slip or slide.
