Compression socks are incredibly beneficial for a wide range of people, particularly those who experience prolonged periods of sitting or standing. We highly recommend them for:

  • Professionals: Nurses, office workers, and those in the transportation or airline industries.

  • Athletes: To support performance and encourage faster recovery.

  • Expecting Mothers: To help manage swelling and maintain healthy, comfortable circulation during pregnancy.

  • Proactive Individuals: Anyone looking to stay ahead of a family history of varicose veins or general circulatory issues.

You do not need a prescription to get fitted with Fitwell Medical. However, to ensure your insurance covers the cost, we strongly advise checking your plan's specific reimbursement requirements prior to your appointment. If you have any underlying medical conditions or need assistance, please consult your physician or reach out to us directly.

We handle all reorders personally to ensure the highest quality of care and accuracy. If we already have your certified measurements on file from a previous fitting, there is no need for a new appointment. Simply reach out to us directly at (403) 389-5654 or amberbonds@fitwellmedical.ca, and we’ll get your new compression garments processed right away!

For the best results, we recommend replacing your compression stockings every six months if you wear them daily. Over time, regular washing and wear cause the materials to gradually lose their precise elasticity. It is also important to replace them right away if they become damaged in any way, as compromised fabric will no longer provide the accurate compression your body needs.

The difference comes down to medical efficacy. Medical-grade compression garments must adhere to strict performance standards that basic, private-label socks do not. You are investing in advanced materials, specialized weaving techniques, and rigorous testing by top-tier manufacturers to ensure your garments actively and effectively support your health

Maintaining strict hygiene and quality standards is our top priority. Because compression hosiery is a medical-grade product, all general sales are final.

We do offer exchanges within 30 days for unopened products or manufacturer defects. (General wear and tear or fabric snags are not considered defects—to protect your garments, please always use the provided application gloves and read the care instructions!) If you experience a sizing discrepancy, we allow the return of one opened package to ensure we get your fit exactly right. Please note that return shipping charges are the responsibility of the customer.
