Does an ankle brace aid heel pain?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Not well: Heel pain is usually plantar fasciatis. An ankle brace is not going to relieve heel pain.

Not really: Unless you make the case that a more stable ankle can provide better biomechanical stability to foot and hence improve planatr fasciitis/heel pain.

It may : Depending on the cause of the pain it may. If it helps to immobilize the foot and ankle it may help depending on the condition.
