Frequently Asked Questions
-
Standard socks provide uniform pressure, which can actually hinder blood flow. Medical-grade stockings (>20 mmHg) provide "graduated" compression, tightest at the ankle and decreasing as they go up the leg, to actively move blood back toward the heart.
-
They improve blood flow and reduce the diameter of major veins, which increases the velocity and volume of blood flow. This prevents swelling, fatigue, and the formation of varicose veins.
-
Compression is usually prescribed by a physician or a Chiropodist. At Active Arches, we perform a thorough assessment to determine the specific strength and length required for your condition.
-
A health professional takes precise measurements of your leg at multiple points. Because the compression must be graduated to work, a generic size (S, M, L) is usually insufficient for medical needs.
-
Most private insurance plans cover multiple pairs per year, provided they are medical-grade (>20 mmHg) and dispensed by a licensed Chiropodist.
-
For best results, they should be put on first thing in the morning before swelling begins and worn throughout the day during activity or prolonged sitting.
