Compression stockings and garment fitting for Metro Detroit
Metro Detroit has no shortage of vein clinics, but finding someone who takes the time to measure you properly for compression stockings is another matter. Our fitting suite is in Richland, near Kalamazoo, so most Detroit-area patients work with us without making the drive: you measure at home with our guide or have your therapist or vein clinic measure you, we help you pick the right garment and ship it to your door. If you'd rather be fitted in person, especially for custom garments, we'll set aside the time.

What we fit for
Compression for veins, swelling and after procedures
Detroit-area patients come to us after a vein specialist, cardiologist or primary care doctor recommends compression, before or after ablation or sclerotherapy, or simply because the stockings from the pharmacy shelf never fit. We fit compression for:
- Varicose veins
- Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
- Venous edema
- Post-thrombotic syndrome
- Spider veins
- After ablation or sclerotherapy
- Healed venous ulcers
- Lymphedema and lipedema
More detail on each: Compression for Vein Conditions. Not sure about length? See Knee-high or thigh-high?
Every major brand
Juzo, Jobst, medi, Sigvaris and L&R, in 15–20 to 30–40 mmHg, knee-high, thigh-high and pantyhose, open or closed toe. We match the brand to your leg, not to what's on one shelf.
Custom and night garments
Custom flat knit and night garments for lymphedema, lipedema and limbs that ready-to-wear can't fit. These are worth the trip to be measured in person.
Wraps and pumps
Adjustable velcro wraps that go on easily over swelling, and pneumatic compression pumps when garments alone aren't enough.
How Metro Detroit patients work with us
Three ways, most without the drive
Measure at home and order online
For ready-to-wear knee-highs, thigh-highs and pantyhose, follow our measuring guide first thing in the morning, before swelling builds. Not sure of your size? Send your measurements through our secure fit help form and a Certified Compression Therapist will tell you which size and brand to order before you buy.
Through your therapist or vein clinic
If your lymphedema therapist or vein clinic in the Detroit area measures you, they can send us the measurements and prescription. We handle the order and ship to you, and keep your sizes on file for replacements.
Come in for a fitting
For custom flat knit, hard-to-fit legs, or anyone who has been fitted badly before, an in-person fitting in our private suite gets it right the first time. Send your new patient forms and prescription ahead and book a morning appointment, so we can finish in one visit. After that, replacements can usually be reordered by phone.
We accept credit cards, HSA and FSA, with itemized receipts, and we price match.

Questions from Metro Detroit
Asked and answered
Do I have to drive to Richland to get compression stockings?
No. Most Detroit-area patients never make the drive. Measure at home with our guide or have your therapist or vein clinic measure you, and we ship to your door. Our fitters will check your measurements before you order if you're unsure.
How far are you from Detroit?
We are at 8988 East D Avenue, Richland, MI 49083, about two to two and a half hours west of Detroit on I-94, depending on where you start. Open Mon–Wed 9–3, Thu 9–5 and Fri 9–1.
My vein specialist told me to wear compression after my procedure. Can you help?
Yes. Send the prescription with the strength, length and how long to wear it, and we will help you choose the right stocking. Follow your specialist's instructions for when to start and stop.
Do I need a prescription?
Lighter compression (8–15 and 15–20 mmHg) does not. Medical-grade compression, 20–30 mmHg and above, usually does. Ask your doctor to include the diagnosis.
When is it worth coming in person?
For custom flat-knit garments, legs that are very different sizes top to bottom, or if ready-to-wear has never fit you. Please call or request a fitting first so everything is ready when you arrive.
