Compression Stockings

Why Choose Compression Stockings?

Compression stockings are specially designed to:

  • Improve blood flow in the legs
  • Reduce swelling, heaviness, and fatigue
  • Prevent and manage varicose veins and spider veins
  • Support recovery after surgery or long periods of sitting/standing
  • Help manage chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema

Expert Pharmacist Guidance

At our pharmacy, you’re supported by a pharmacist trained and educated in compression therapy. Our pharmacist will:

  • Assess your individual needs
  • Recommend the right type and level of compression
  • Provide proper education on wearing and caring for your stockings
  • Ensure you are fitted correctly for maximum comfort and effectiveness

What to Do Before Your Compression Stocking Measurement

To ensure the most accurate fitting, please:

  • Book your appointment early in the day – swelling in the legs is usually minimal in the morning.
  • Avoid physical activity right before your appointment – exercise can temporarily increase swelling.
  • Use the washroom beforehand – empty your bladder and stomach to stay comfortable during measurement.
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be easily rolled up above the knee.
  • Do not apply lotions or creams to your legs before your fitting.
  • Bring your prescription if required for insurance coverage.
  • Plan for 20–30 minutes so our pharmacist can complete a thorough fitting and consultation.
