Why compression socks can Prevent & alleviate leg cramps

Leg Cramps Can Occur for a variety of reasons including:

• High-intenisty exercising - When a person starts a new exercise program or a runner runs for too long, overuse and muscle fatigue can cause cramping.

• Standing or sitting for extended periods of time - Optimal blood flood in the legs requires regular movement of the leg muscles. Remaining immobile for long periods can cause muscle cramps later in the day.

Compression socks work to stimulate circulation in your legs and feet by helping push fluids and blood out of your legs and back up to the heart. This pressure gradient helps prevent swelling and fatigue after a long day of work or physical activity.

Aside from improving leg discomfort, compression socks can help tired legs to recover faster after exercising. During intense physical activity, there is an increased level of lactic acid accumulated in the muscles that causes post-workout pain and tenderness. Wearing compression socks during and after workouts, increases oxygen flow to the working muscles and flushes out lactic acid.

RN's Love Dr. SegaL's

"I've been a nurse for 5+ years and have struggled to find compression socks that are comfortable, cute, and work for me. These socks are not only cute but they are breathable, non-itchy, and after wearing them for a few hours I forgot they were even on! Once you try Dr. Segal's nothing else out there compares."

GREAT FOR LONG FLIGHTS

"Love the fun colors compared to typical compression socks, which leave much to be desired in terms of color. More importantly, my legs felt less tired after a 21hr flight from NYC to Melbourne. I didn’t have the usual swollen ankles."
