When to Consider Compression Stockings
Persistent Leg Swelling
If your legs, ankles, or feet frequently swell — especially after long hours of standing or sitting — compression stockings can improve circulation and prevent fluid buildup, helping your legs feel lighter and more energized.
Varicose Veins or Spider Veins
Visible veins, aching, or heaviness in the legs are common signs of poor circulation. Compression therapy supports blood flow, helping to reduce discomfort and prevent vein-related complications.
Recovery After Surgery or Injury
Compression stockings are often recommended during recovery to promote healthy circulation, reduce swelling, and lower the risk of blood clots. They’re especially helpful after orthopedic or vascular procedures.
Chronic Conditions Like Lymphedema or Edema
For individuals with ongoing fluid retention or lymphatic issues, medical-grade compression stockings provide consistent support to manage swelling and improve mobility.
Active Lifestyle and Prevention
Even if you don’t have circulation problems, compression stockings can support your legs during physically demanding days or workouts. They help reduce muscle fatigue, enhance performance, and speed up recovery — making them a great choice for athletes, healthcare workers, or anyone on their feet all day.
Extended Travel or Sedentary Work
If you spend long hours sitting — whether at a desk or on flights — compression stockings help prevent leg fatigue and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
What Are Medical-Grade Compression Stockings?
Medical-grade compression stockings are specialized hosiery designed to improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and relieve leg discomfort. They work by applying graduated pressure—firmest at the ankle and gradually decreasing up the leg—to help push blood upward toward the heart and prevent fluid buildup.
Unlike standard, store-bought stockings, our custom-fitted compression stockings in Scarborough are prescribed and measured to match your specific leg shape and medical needs. This ensures a precise, comfortable fit and optimal therapeutic results.
Compression stockings are available in different pressure levels, measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg):
– Mild (15–20 mmHg) – for mild fatigue, travel, or early prevention
– Moderate (20–30 mmHg) – for varicose veins, swelling, or mild edema
– Firm (30–40 mmHg) – for more advanced venous insufficiency or lymphedema
Our healthcare professionals will help you determine which level of compression and stocking style is best suited to your needs, ensuring both comfort and effectiveness.

Frequent Asked Questions
What conditions can compression stockings help treat?
Compression stockings are designed to improve blood circulation and reduce leg swelling. They’re commonly recommended for conditions such as varicose veins, lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention, edema, and general leg fatigue caused by prolonged standing or sitting. They can also help during post-surgical recovery to support healthy blood flow.
How do compression stockings work?
Compression stockings apply graduated pressure, which is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. This helps push blood and lymphatic fluid back toward the heart, preventing pooling and swelling. The improved circulation reduces discomfort, minimizes vein dilation, and can help prevent complications like varicose veins and DVT.
Are compression stockings comfortable?
Yes — when properly fitted, compression stockings are comfortable and supportive, not restrictive. You may notice gentle pressure at first, but most people quickly adjust within a few days of consistent use. Custom or medical-grade stockings are designed for long-term comfort, made from breathable, flexible materials that suit your lifestyle and activity level.
Do I need a prescription for compression stockings?
In most cases, a prescription is recommended for medical-grade compression stockings, especially if you require higher compression levels or are claiming them through insurance. During your visit, our physiotherapists or chiropractors can assess your condition, recommend the appropriate compression strength, and provide the documentation needed for insurance coverage.
Are compression stockings covered by insurance?
Yes, many extended health insurance plans cover compression stockings, especially when prescribed by a healthcare professional. Our Scarborough clinic offers direct billing to most major insurance providers, saving you time and effort. If you’re unsure about your coverage, our team can help verify your benefits and guide you through the process.
How often should I replace my compression stockings?
Compression stockings gradually lose their elasticity over time. We recommend replacing them every 6 to 12 months, depending on how frequently you wear them. Daily use may require more frequent replacement to ensure you continue receiving the correct level of compression and support.
Can I sleep in my compression stockings?
In most cases, compression stockings are designed for daytime wear only. Your body’s circulation changes when lying down, so the extra pressure isn’t needed at night. However, some post-surgical or severe venous conditions may require overnight use — always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.
How do I care for my compression stockings?
To maintain their effectiveness, wash your stockings gently after each use in cool or lukewarm water with mild soap. Avoid wringing or tumble-drying them; instead, air dry flat away from direct heat. Proper care helps preserve elasticity and prolong their lifespan.
Can I exercise while wearing compression stockings?
Yes! Many people wear compression stockings during exercise to improve circulation and reduce fatigue, especially in activities like running, cycling, or long walks. The gentle compression can help your muscles recover faster and reduce post-exercise soreness.
Need A Personal Health Plan?
Whether you’re dealing with leg swelling, varicose veins, fatigue, or other circulation issues, our medical-grade compression stockings can effectively reduce symptoms and enhance your comfort. Our licensed practitioners will carefully assess and fit you with personalized compression stockings, often combining them with physiotherapy, chiropractic care, or other supportive therapies to optimize your treatment outcomes.
