Plantar fasciitis
socks are socks that are designed to provide
support and compression to the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs along
the bottom of the foot and helps support the arch. They are often used to treat
or prevent plantar fasciitis, a condition that causes pain and inflammation in
the heel and bottom of the foot. Plantar fasciitis socks are typically made
from a blend of materials, such as spandex or nylon, and may have additional
features such as arch support or a padded heel to help alleviate pressure on the
plantar fascia. They may also have graduated compression, which means that the
level of compression is greater at the ankle and gradually decreases down the
leg. This can help improve circulation and reduce swelling in the foot. Plantar
fasciitis socks are often worn during the day to provide support and relief
from pain, but may also be worn at night to help stretch the plantar fascia
while the wearer is sleeping. It is important to note that plantar fasciitis
socks are not a substitute for proper footwear and should not be used as a
replacement for shoes that provide adequate support and protection.

Arthritis Gloves with Compression |
Arthritis gloves with
compression are gloves that are designed to
provide support and compression to the hands and wrists of individuals with
arthritis or other conditions that cause pain and stiffness in the joints. They
are often made from a blend of materials, such as spandex or nylon, and may
have additional features such as padding or support to help alleviate pressure
on the joints. The level of compression provided by the gloves may vary, with
some gloves providing graduated compression (greater compression at the wrist
and decreasing down the hand) and others providing uniform compression
throughout the glove. Arthritis gloves with compression may be worn during the
day to provide support and relief from pain, or at night to help reduce
swelling and stiffness while the wearer is sleeping. It is important to note
that arthritis gloves with compression are not a substitute for proper medical
treatment and should be used in conjunction with other therapies recommended by
a healthcare professional.
