How to Effectively use Your Night Splint

It will be best to start wearing the night splint for a short period of time, perhaps only 1 hour the first night, then extending it gradually each night and week. Most splints are also adjustable, so you can alter the tension to suit. It may be that you need to start with it looser and make it tighter over time. The ideal target will be to wear it overnight or for around 4 to 5 hours at a time. This is the perfect time period for the plantar fascia tissue to extend and begin to heal!

Plantar Fasciitis Facts

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain and certain foot pain. The plantar fascia is the ligament that connects your heel bone to your toes and supports the arch of your foot. If you strain or injure your plantar fascia, it gets weak, swollen, and irritated which leads to inflammation. This trauma and inflammation causes heel, foot, and arch pain when you stand or walk. This pain can is often the worst in the morning after a night's sleep.

Occupations and activities that increase plantar fasciitis include nurses, military - soldiers, police officers, retail workers, running, walking, hiking, football, soccer, ballet, basketball, gymnastics, and more.
