Compression Stockings - Rangiora & Woodend

Expert Fitting and Support for Better Circulation

Q: Can I get compression stockings fitted at Unichem Medical Corner Pharmacy?

A: Yes! Our pharmacists provide professional fitting, supply, and advice for medical-grade compression stockings at both Rangiora and Woodend. Compression stockings help with swelling, circulation, varicose veins, travel, and post-surgical recovery.

Who Can Benefit from Compression Stockings?

  • People with varicose veins, leg swelling (oedema), or chronic venous insufficiency
  • Those at risk of or recovering from deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • Pregnant women experiencing leg discomfort or swelling
  • Travellers - long car rides, flights, or prolonged sitting
  • Post-surgery patients needing support for healing and prevention

What Are Compression Stockings and How Do They Work?

Compression stockings provide graduated compression - the highest pressure at the ankle, gradually decreasing up the leg. This promotes healthy blood circulation and gives your legs noticeably better support.

  • Range of compression levels to suit individual needs and medical requirements
