Not always. You don’t need a prescription for lower compression levels (like 15–20 mmHg), which are often used for mild swelling, travel, or daily support. But if you need higher compression (20–30 mmHg or above) for medical conditions like varicose veins or post-surgical recovery, a prescription may be required, especially if you want insurance to cover the cost.
