In order to qualify for the "medical grade" rating, a sock’s compression level must be 30 mmHg or higher.
Wellow compression socks fall at the 18-25 level, which is considered “moderate level” compression and sits below the medical grade rating.
Moderate level compression socks like Wellow compression socks are intended for lowering the risk for severe conditions such as Deep Vein Thrombossis (DVT), blood clots, varicose veins, and spider veins.
Our socks can also be used for reducing minor swelling, recovering from hard workouts, lowering leg and foot swelling during pregnancy, helping with minor injury recovery, and reducing leg fatigue from walking, standing or sitting for long periods.
We have customers with mild medical conditions who use our socks and find them helpful, but we advise anyone with a medical condition to speak with their medical provider before they make a purchase.
