Compression Socks

Enhance Circulation and Support with Custom Compression Socks

At The Joint Physiotherapy in St. Albert, we offer custom compression socks to help you improve circulation, reduce swelling, and enhance your overall comfort. Our goal is to provide personalized compression solutions that support your vascular health and meet your specific needs. Discover how our comprehensive compression sock services can make a difference in your life.

What are Compression Socks?

Compression socks are specially designed garments that apply gentle pressure to your legs and ankles, promoting blood flow from your lower extremities back to your heart. This helps reduce swelling, prevent blood clots, and alleviate discomfort associated with various conditions.

At The Joint Physiotherapy, our skilled therapists provide custom-fitted compression socks tailored to your specific needs, ensuring optimal comfort and effectiveness.

How Do Compression Socks Work?

Compression socks work by providing graduated pressure that is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. Here’s an overview of how they benefit your vascular health:

Improved Blood Flow

The pressure applied by compression socks helps veins push blood back towards the heart, reducing pooling and swelling in the lower legs.

Reduced Swelling

Compression socks help to manage edema by promoting fluid movement out of the legs and reducing swelling.

Prevention of Blood Clots

By improving circulation, compression socks help prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other blood clots.

Enhanced Comfort

Compression socks can alleviate discomfort and fatigue in the legs, especially for those who spend long periods standing or sitting.
