Night Splints For Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis is a very common complaint that ranges from mildly annoying to severely disabling.

It is famously resistant to treatment so most health professionals recommend addressing the problem from all angles. On top of stretching, night splints are a recognized treatment.

Plantar fasciitis is so common that just about everyone knows someone who has had it at some time in their life.

Night splints help by ensuring that tension remains on the achilles tendon and as a result the plantar fascia. This helps to ensure that the work you do by stretching during the day isn't wasted as you sleep at night.

Particularly for stubborn cases, a plantar fasciitis night splint can be a valuable tool
