Ankle top compression socks

Product Description

1. Compression Levels: Ankle compression socks come in different levels of compression, usually measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). The compression is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases as it moves up the leg. Common compression levels include mild (8-15 mmHg), moderate (15-20 mmHg), and firm (20-30 mmHg). The choice of compression level depends on the intended purpose.
2. Medical Uses: Ankle compression socks are often prescribed or recommended by healthcare professionals to manage various conditions, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), varicose veins, edema (swelling), and venous insufficiency. They work by helping to improve blood circulation in the lower limbs.
3. Athletic Performance: Many athletes and active individuals wear ankle compression socks during sports or workouts. The compression can help reduce muscle fatigue, improve oxygen delivery to muscles, and provide support to the ankle and calf muscles. This can be especially beneficial for activities like running, hiking, and sports that involve a lot of jumping
