Compression socks with mild compression, 15-20 mmHg, not only can help boost blood circulation but will also aid in the relief of stiffness and aching of the joints. Lighter to moderate compression socks can help with pain in the legs and feet due to arthritis. Benefits of arthritis patients who wear compression socks include:
Relief of pain and stiffness caused by arthritis.
Improved circulation which can help prevent cold feet.
Increased circulation in the legs and feet.
In short, light to moderate compression socks can put the spring back in your step. They will soothe your legs, ankles and feet with gentle compression while giving the right amount of support and reduce swelling. If you suffer from arthritis and need a higher mmHg of compression, consult your physician.
