Ankle Brace For Plantar Fasciitis

Should I wrap my ankle if I have plantar fasciitis?

Wrapping your ankle for plantar fasciitis isn't generally recommended unless advised by a healthcare professional, as it might not provide enough targeted support. Instead, using an ankle brace for plantar fasciitis is a more effective option.

An ankle brace designed for plantar fasciitis provides support to the foot and ankle, helping to stabilize the arch and reduce strain on the plantar fascia. It also offers gentle compression to reduce swelling and inflammation. Unlike traditional wrapping, an ankle brace can maintain proper alignment, which is key for healing.

In addition to wearing a brace, consider using orthotics or insoles for extra arch support, and avoid activities that exacerbate the condition.
