CSX Compression Socks 15-20 mmHg are for those with an active lifestyle, or those in the market for a sock that provides extra support. Providing 15-20 mmHg of compression, this product offers a moderate level firmness in the fit. These socks primarily support the ankle, made with extra fabric layers to protect it. X200 CSX Socks promotes blood flow with a tapering design that provides most compression at the ankle and gradually lessens as it travels up the leg. It also sports a self-adjusting top band that keeps it from slipping downward. CSX sport socks can even reduce recovery time following strenuous activity. CSX Compression Sport Socks has a unique V-guard that reduces oscillation and vibration to prevent and help shin-splints. Also, the built-in calf cradle supports the calf muscle and helps to reduce strain. Champion CSX socks also have a seamless toe box for protection from blisters and arch support bands for stability and comfort. Plus, they also wick away excess moisture. Combine them with other activewear like Men's Edgewater athletic shoes for comfort and protection while exercising. For women, we also carry Tahoe's Athletic Shoes
The Benefits of Compression Socks
Introduction
Compression socks are a comfortable and effective means of avoiding many issues that can occur with the lower legs. Primarily, compression socks can help prevent many issues associated with the circulatory and lymphatic systems in the feet and calves. Even if you're not currently using a compression sock, you may want to consider making the switch.
Anatomy of Veins and Lymph Vessels
We all know that the heart is the main pump of the human body. It moves precious blood, delivering vital nutrients to our cells. It does this through over 60,000 combined total miles of blood vessels at high speeds. In fact, if blood cells were the size of cars, they'd be traveling at almost 5,400 miles per hour. However, once the blood squeezes its way through the capillaries, they come to a virtual stop. So, how does the blood get back to the heart? This is achieved through a remarkable system of valves in the veins and muscle contractions. As muscles contract, blood is pushed through the veins, passing through valves that prevent them from flowing backward due to gravity. While this may not be as fast as the heart, it nonetheless works extremely well. However, it's not perfect. As a person ages, the valves in the veins may begin to leak and sedentary activity may allow the blood to pool in the lower extremities. Lymphatic vessels work similarly to veins and can suffer similar trauma over time, resulting in potentially painful fluid buildup. Over time, blood pooling in the lower extremities can cause minor health problems like varicose veins, to extreme conditions like DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
How Compression Socks Help
While compression socks can have other benefits like ankle support, their primary benefits involve aiding blood flow. According to Healthline, compression socks support veins by decreasing their diameter. This, in turn, increases the volume and velocity of blood movement on their slow race back to the heart. Wearing compression socks can prevent blood from pooling in the veins, help diminish swelling, and reduce orthostatic hypotension (a condition that causes dizziness or lightheadedness when standing up). Compression socks can also help prevent venous ulcers. So, while products like Champion's Neoprene Ankle Support provide better low-profile support for ankles, they won't provide the same benefits of improved blood flow afforded by compression socks.
