You wear it overnight whilst sleeping to prevent your plantar fascia tightening up. The Ultimate Performance Plantar fasciitis sock is made to the highest quality standards and is built to last. It is a registered class 1 medical device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Plantar Fasciitis Sock suitable for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is very effective for treating heal pain from Plantar fasciitis. Other uses include helping to stretch tight calf muscles and treat Achilles tendonitis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Plantar fasciitis sock when worn overnight helps prevent the plantar fascia and calf muscle from tightening up. So, when you walk the following day the fascia does not pull as hard at the point of attachment to the heel. As a result, you have less inflammation, degeneration, and pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don't need to wear it all night to begin with. Start with a couple of hours and build up gradually if you find it easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlace the Plantar fasciitis sock over your foot and pull up towards the knee.  Ensure it fits smoothly with no wrinkles. The D-ring goes to the front.  Gather any slack around the ankle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFasten the upper Velcro strap lightly round the leg below the knee. Fasten the strap through the D-ring, and tension so the toes are just off the floor when the foot is flat on the floor.  Do not over-tighten (dorsi-flex) your foot as this leads to discomfort overnight.\u003cbr\u003eOften when you begin to wear the Plantar fascia sock it may become uncomfortable during the night, especially if your foot is very tight. If this is the case then remove it and gradually increase wearing time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlantar Fasciitis Sock vs Night Splint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe UPMedical Plantar fasciitis sock is more comfortable to sleep in than a Plantar fasciitis night splint.
