Plantar Fasciitis Socks
Plantar fasciitis socks provide support and compression to the foot’s arch. This helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the heel and arch area. The socks also help improve blood circulation, reducing pain and promoting healing.
There are a few different types of plantar fasciitis socks on the market. Compression socks are designed to apply pressure to your feet and lower legs. This helps to reduce swelling, pain, and fatigue. Compression socks are usually made of a stretchy material like spandex or nylon. They are typically tightest at the ankle and become less constrictive as they go up your leg. Support socks are designed to provide extra support to the foot’s arch. They do this by adding padding or an extra layer of material in the arch area. This helps to distribute weight evenly across the foot and reduces stress on the plantar fascia tissue.
Orthotic socks are similar to support socks but also include a built-in orthotic insert. An orthotic device is placed in the shoe to correct improper foot alignment. Orthotic socks benefit people with severe plantar fasciitis or who have difficulty wearing traditional orthotics due to discomfort.
