It is common to hear about people sharing health concerns from being tied to their desks all day, seated and inactive.
While being sedentary does pose considerable health risks, the same is true for people experiencing the opposite — individuals who remain on their feet and moving for the greater part of their day.
These individuals can be encountered virtually anywhere:
- the teachers in children’s classrooms
- hospital staff trained to work long hours
- police officers patrolling neighborhoods
- the waiters and waitresses who attend to restaurant diners
- the chefs and staff who prepare meals in those restaurants
- the salespeople helping customers find what they need in stores
- workers in constructions sites and factories
- and even parents who stay on top of chores, run errands, and run after their little children all day
These individuals would often get tired, aching and even swollen feet at the end of the day.
Some may think that the pain is just a normal thing to experience, but there is certainly no reason to endure the pain — or to risk developing more serious health conditions from prolonged standing.
The best thing to do would be to consult a trusted doctor about the condition and to consider using specially designed medical garments such as prescription compression stockings.
What are they?
Compression stockings or socks are specially fitted and designed to be tight at the feet and looser along the leg.
These stockings are ideal for people who are constantly on their feet because they help improve blood flow, keep blood clots from forming in the deep leg veins, and prevent fluid from pooling in the legs.
The use of these stockings can be prescribed to relieve symptoms and prevent further aggravation from certain medical diagnoses, such as varicose veins, edema, leg ulcers, deep vein thrombosis, venous insufficiency, lipodermatosclerosis, and phlebitis, among others.
When compression stockings are worn throughout the day, the usual tired feeling and swelling at the end of the day can be eliminated.
Why choose prescription ones?
Physicians will recommend the use of prescription strength compression stockings if they feel that garments with less strength will not be able to address the diagnosis.
In this case, it is ideal to purchase the stockings from reputable providers, and not online, so they can be properly fitted and sure to move fluid from your lower to upper extremity according to your specific needs.
With the right pair of compression stockings, you can finally experience relief from pain and swelling caused by always being on your feet, achieve better health, and continue with your established daily routines.
