Benefits of Compression Stockings for Men
While Sigvaris compression socks for men provide daily support, there are also various other benefits to look out for:
- Prevent Blood Clots – The risk of developing blood clots is the highest in your legs. Wearing compression stockings for men is a preventive method to reduce the risk of blood clots forming.
- Improves Blood Circulation – Sigvaris stockings apply graduated compression to the legs, thus supporting the veins to push deoxygenated blood back up to the heart. If you are experiencing pain, heaviness and fatigue in the legs at the end of the day, then these could be symptoms of poor blood circulation. Compression socks can help keep your veins supported and working efficiently.
- Helps Manage Venous Disorders – If you suffer from venous conditions such as varicose veins, then compression stockings will be an essential part of your treatment plan. Compression socks will help manage the symptoms as well as prevent the condition from worsening.
- Provides Comfort – Those with jobs that require them to sit or stand for long hours are often at risk of developing circulatory problems. They also commonly suffer from pain, swelling, fatigue and leg restlessness. Compression stockings prevent all these symptoms by boosting blood flow, making your legs feel light, energized, and comfortable through the day.
- Enhances Performance and Recovery for Sports Or Workouts – If you exercise daily or are an athlete, wearing compression socks can boost performance by improving oxygen flow to the legs, preventing injuries, and reducing muscle vibrations. They also help reduce lactic acid build up in the muscles. Post workouts, graduated compression can help speed up recovery by reducing muscle soreness.
