Compression Stockings – Frequently Asked Questions

Compression stockings are specially designed garments that apply gentle pressure to your legs, ankles, and feet to improve blood flow. They help reduce swelling, prevent varicose veins, and lower the risk of blood clots.

Compression stockings are beneficial for people who experience:

  • Leg swelling, fatigue, or heaviness
  • Varicose or spider veins
  • Prolonged sitting or standing during work
  • Post-surgical recovery or travel-related swelling
  • Conditions like chronic venous insufficiency or lymphedema

Medical-grade compression stockings are measured and fitted by a healthcare professional to ensure accurate compression levels and comfort.
Over-the-counter stockings provide mild compression but may not be suitable for medical conditions or long-term use.
Insurance companies typically cover medical-grade stockings only.

Yes, most insurance plans require a doctor’s prescription indicating the compression level (e.g., 20–30 mmHg). However, you can book a measurement and fitting appointment at our clinic even before obtaining a prescription.

Our certified fitter or physiotherapist will:

  • Take precise leg measurements
  • Determine the correct size, length, and compression level
  • Ensure the stockings are comfortable and properly supportive

Proper fitting ensures maximum effectiveness and comfort.

Common medical compression levels include:

  • 15–20 mmHg: Mild support for everyday use and mild swelling
  • 20–30 mmHg: Moderate compression for varicose veins, post-surgery, or pregnancy
  • 30–40 mmHg: Firm compression for more severe venous or lymphatic conditions

Your doctor or physiotherapist will recommend the right level for your needs.

It’s easiest to put them on in the morning before swelling begins. Roll the stocking down to the heel, place your foot in, and gradually unroll it up the leg. Rubber gloves or a stocking aid can make the process easier.

Wear them during the day and remove them at night, unless otherwise advised by your healthcare provider. Consistent use provides the best results.

Hand wash or use a gentle cycle in cold water with mild soap. Air dry only. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and direct heat to preserve the elastic fibers.

Compression stockings should generally be replaced every 4–6 months, as the elastic fibers lose effectiveness over time with daily use.

Most extended health plans and IFHP cover medical-grade compression stockings when:

  • Prescribed by a physician or nurse practitioner
  • Properly measured and dispensed by a qualified professional
    We provide detailed receipts and documentation for insurance reimbursement.
