If you’ve ever experienced that sharp, stabbing pain in your heel—especially during your first steps in the morning—you may be dealing with plantar fasciitis. One simple, non-invasive method to ease the discomfort is foot taping. But how effective is it?
Foot taping is often used by podiatrists to temporarily support the arch and reduce tension on the plantar fascia, giving the inflamed tissue time to rest and recover.
What Causes Plantar Fasciitis or Heel Pain?
Treatment Options
Foot taping is often recommended as a short-term solution to reduce pain and inflammation while long-term strategies—like strengthening and footwear changes—take effect.
Prevention Tips
Wear supportive shoes, avoid walking barefoot on hard floors, stretch your calves regularly, and rest when you feel foot pain coming on.
