What are compression socks?

Compression socks improve circulation and reduce abnormal swelling in the legs which decreases the strain on tissues in the leg. You should consider wearing compression socks if you spend the majority of the day on your feet or spend the majority of the day sitting, if you are pregnant or if you’ve noticed varicose veins and/or swelling in your legs. Our Oakville clinic fits all types of compression stockings.

Compression socks at our Oakville clinic come in a variety of colours, sizes and styles, including calf length, thigh length and full panty hose.

What are the benefits of compression socks?

At our Clinic in Oakville we have measured and supplied thousands of patients for compression stockings and socks. We offer a wide variety of colours and styles of compression stockings and socks in Oakville.

The benefits of compression socks will be noted the first time the patient wears them. Your legs will feel lighter, your energy will increase, you have less pooling of fluid in your feet, ankles and legs and you will decrease the size of your varicose veins protecting your legs from getting further varicose veins in the future.

The Medical Stockings are most likely covered by your extended health coverage at work. Come by for a free fitting for compression stockings or compression socks and we will contact your insurance to firm up what is needed for optimized coverage. Most plans, not all, are allotted between 1 to 6 pairs of medical grade compression socks a year.

For compression stockings and socks, the greatest amount of compression is in the foot, then reduces slightly in the ankle and ends with even less compression around the calf. The graduated compression helps push the fluid upwards, out of the feet and back towards your heart! Depending on where your issues are, you may benefit from a different length of compression garment.
More about how Oakville Compression Stockings can help here.
Our clinic offers knee high, thigh high and panty hose stockings/socks to make sure all your needs are met. Our staff will help you chose the right pair for your specific needs, and make sure they are fit to perfection.

How do compression stockings & compression socks work?

Oakville Compression stockings and compression socks are a useful tool to treat a variety of conditions affecting the feet, ankles and lower and upper leg. Compression socks work by providing graduated pressure that helps to prevent edema (swelling). By providing pressure around the foot, ankle and calf, compression stockings prevent the tissue from being able to fill with fluid, hence their ability to prevent swelling.

Our Oakville chiropractors have a couple treatment options for swollen legs and feet. Book with on of them today and see if they can help!

Compression socks can also help compress leaky valves in the veins, which contribute to fluid building up around the ankles and feet. People who spend all day on their feet are forcing their veins to fight gravity all day. Sometimes this extra strain on the veins causes them to become stretched and makes the valves leaky. The greatest amount of compression is in the foot, then reduces slightly in the ankle and ends with even less compression around the calf.

Does my insurance cover compression socks?

Most extended insurance plans cover some, if not all, of the cost of medical stockings or compression stockings. If your spouse has coverage, we can help you coordinate insurance payments so that the two plans collectively cover 100% of the costs (in most cases).

Unfortunately, we can only directly bill your insurance if you are with Green Shield. In most cases to get your private insurance to cover compression stockings you will require a medical doctor’s note stating a diagnosis, compression rating of at least 20 – 30mmhg and that the medical stockings are for everyday use. If you have any questions contact us and we would be happy to walk you through the process.
