Compression Stockings Oakville
What are compression stockings?
Compression stockings support in reducing pain, pressure and swelling of the legs by ensuring appropriate blood circulation. Compression stockings are prescribed specifically for the patient depending on the level of need.


Compression socks are used for a variety of reasons such as:
- Compression socks can support with the aching, swelling, and general discomfort from varicose veins or leg ulcers.
- During pregnancy, women can benefit from custom stockings as they provide pressure on your legs to prevent swelling as a result of varicose veins.
- Post-surgery or following bedrest and being inactive for a prolonged period of time compression stockings can be beneficial.
