To properly treat plantar fasciitis, the plantar fascia tendon needs to be allowed to heal without further damage being done to the tendon. This means that you’ll need to take strain off the tendon to allow the foot time to heal.
Plantar fasciitis insoles can help to provide proper support for the foot, distributing pressure across the foot and taking excess strain off the plantar fascia tendon. Plantar fasciitis socks, sleeves, and braces can also help keep the foot supported and alleviate excess strain, with the added benefit of being able to be used without wearing your shoes.
Anti-inflammatory medication and the use of ice can help to reduce swelling and inflammation, and when combined with the use of insoles, socks, sleeves, or braces, can provide comfort quickly when recovering from plantar fasciitis.
