Compression Wear
Compression socks – or compression stockings – are specialized socks that apply gentle pressure to your legs and ankles. They can help improve blood flow from your legs to your heart and can be beneficial for people with certain conditions, such as varicose veins, or for people who sit or stand for long periods.
Compression wear is a type of hosiery or sock that is designed to apply pressure to the legs to improve blood flow and reduce swelling. They are often worn by people who spend long periods of time on their feet, travelers, as well as by individuals with medical conditions such as varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis.
At Collective Foot and Orthotic, our Chiropodist can take your measurements to order compression wear that provides a custom fit not available in over-the-counter options. You will also have the peace of mind of knowing you are wearing the compression level best-suited for your unique needs as recommended by the Chiropodist.
The compression wear brands we use include Sigvaris and Lunatik Athletiks. Both companies have a wide variety of colours, patterns, and styles for you to choose from!
Ever struggled with donning (putting on) or doffing (taking off) your compression wear?
We can help!
Accessories are available to help guide compression wear on smoothly and without hassle. Donning aids also extend the life of compression garments, meaning they don’t have to be replaced as often! Contact the clinic for more information.
