Compression socks are worn to prevent swelling and enhance blood circulation. They are commonly worn after surgery to prevent blood clotting and enhance healing of muscles and tendons cut in the procedure. Compression stockings cover from toes to below the knee, which is enough to control blood flow throughout the body. Swelling is commonly cause by improper blood flow, either because of ruptured blood vessels or low pressure from the heart. Compression stockings provide uniform pressure on the whole leg hence enhancing blood circulation.
