What you should know about Compression Socks

      i.        Compression socks are designed to provide different pressure levels, typically measured in 8-15mmHg,15-20mmHg, and 20-30mmHg. The level of pressure is dependent on the desired outcome. For instance, athletes can use socks rated 15-20 mmHg in pressure.
