The Medishop Night splint for prolonged stretch of the Plantar Fascia for the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis.
When can I use it?
Wear at night for effective treatment of Plantar Fasciitis - particularly helpful to reduce the pain of the first steps after getting out of bed.
How does it work?
The Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint is designed to promote healing following ankle surgery, and to alleviate the symptoms of Achilles Tendonitis and Plantar Fasciitis. A combination of a lightweight polypropylene frame, cushion foam padding and 3 padded straps holds the foot comfortably in a controlled angle of dorsiflexion. When this stretch is sustained for a prolonged period (e.g. overnight) the Plantar Fascia is held in a better position for healing. Research has shown that night splinting is effective in relieving symptoms in over 80% of cases of Plantar Fasciitis.
A removable foam insert can provide greater extension, if needed, while the exterior features an anti-slip surface that helps to keep the foot in a stable position.
