Ankle Brace Sock

Do Ankle Compression Socks Work?

Compression ankle socks have been specially designed to help maintain support and stimulate increased blood circulation, extensively used in many areas of sports and daily life.

Mainly used for:

1. Promoting Blood Circulation 

Compression socks for ankles apply modest pressures to facilitate the return of blood from the ankle to the heart. This pressure is usually higher at the ankle and gradually decreases at the calf, creating a gradient compression effect. This is designed to inhibit the retention of blood in the veins, improving circulation and reducing the risk of venous stasis.

2. Reduce Swelling 

Standing or sitting for long periods can cause swelling of the ankles and lower legs, which is greatly eased by compression ankle sock. The effects of compression can help drain excess fluid and reduce edema between tissues, thus resulting in more comfortable ankles.

3. Prevention of Varicose Veins

By allowing proper compression support, compression ankle socks for women can help lower the stress on veins, lessen the chances of varicose veins and improve leg health.

4. Accelerated Recovery 

After a workout, ankle compression socks can aid the muscles in faster recovery to their optimal condition. With the promotion of blood circulation, compression socks can accelerate the elimination of both lactic acid and other metabolic wastes, thus reducing muscle soreness and fatigue.

Should I Wear a Sock Under My Ankle Brace?

There are some benefits of wearing a sock under the ankle brace:

Comfort: A sock can act as a buffer between your skin and the ankle brace. The material of many stabilizing ankle brace can sometimes cause chafing or irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. A soft sock can reduce this discomfort and prevent blisters from forming on your skin. For example, if the ankle brace has rough edges or is made of a rigid material, a sock can smooth out the contact with your skin.

Absorbency: Socks are designed to absorb sweat. If you are active and wearing an ankle stability brace, your feet are likely to perspire. The sock can soak up the moisture, keeping your foot and the inside of the brace drier. This is important because a wet environment can lead to skin problems such as fungal infections.

Ease of Cleaning: It's much easier to wash a sock than to clean an ankle brace stabilizer. If your sock gets dirty or sweaty, you can simply remove and launder it. This helps to maintain overall hygiene and can also prolong the life of your ankle brace by reducing the amount of dirt and debris that gets trapped against it.
