Compression Socks for POTS

Where Compression Socks Fit in a POTS Plan

Talk to your healthcare provider before using compression socks for POTS. They set your plan, including whether compression belongs in it, how firm it should be and how far up the body it should go. If you also have diabetes, neuropathy, peripheral artery disease or poor circulation in your legs, that conversation matters even more.

POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) makes the heart rate climb sharply when you stand up. Some people with POTS use compression as one part of a plan from their provider, alongside the other steps that provider recommends.

A lighter, knee-level option

Our socks are 15-20 mmHg graduated compression and knee-high. That makes them a lighter, knee-level option. Some POTS plans call for firmer or longer garments, so check that these match what your provider has in mind before you buy.

Socks you'll want to put on

If compression is part of your routine, it helps to have socks that don't look medical. Ours come in stripes, skulls, checkers and plain solids that pass for regular socks under jeans or with shorts. The Argyle, Solids and Checkers are Made in the USA, and the 3-packs make it easier to keep a clean pair ready.

FAQs

Should I wear compression socks for POTS?

That's a decision for your healthcare provider. Some people with POTS use compression as part of a plan their provider sets, and the provider decides the level and length. If compression is in your plan, bring these details to that conversation: our socks are 15-20 mmHg and knee-high.

Are 15-20 mmHg knee-high socks enough for POTS?

It depends on your plan. 15-20 mmHg knee-highs are a lighter, knee-level option, and some providers recommend firmer compression or garments that go higher up the body. Follow the level and length your provider recommends.

Can I wear these compression socks every day?

They're built for all-day wear, with a cushioned footbed, arch support and a moisture-wicking knit on most styles. How often and how long you wear compression is part of the plan your healthcare provider sets. Take them off if they feel painful or leave deep marks.
