Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint | Relieves Foot & Ankle Pain
An orthotic ankle and foot splint is one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to treat many foot conditions and ankle problems. They include plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, foot drop, Achilles tendinitis, neuropathy, arthritis, ankle sprains, and foot pain after an injury or surgery. Our night splints for plantar fasciitis hold the foot in a dorsiflexion position, which allows a healthy stretch position for your muscles, ligaments, and plantar fascia, which is the thick tissue on the bottom of your foot that connects your heel bone to your toes and creates the arch of your foot. If worn at night, a plantar fasciitis night splint keeps your foot in the correct position, prevents it from tensing up while you sleep, and can minimise aching and striking pain after you wake up.
Soft and comfortable to wear, it suits feet and ankle circumferences between 20 and 38 centimetres. It is adjustable, which allows it to be placed at the proper angle for relief. It can also be removed within seconds and be worn on either your left or right foot and when wearing socks and shoes.

FAQs | Night splints for plantar fasciitis & other conditions
-
1. What is plantar fasciitis?
The plantar fascia is a piece of strong, thick tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. It connects your heel bone to the toes, creating the arch of your foot. Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain and can develop because you overstretch or over-use your foot or have another medical condition. It is also often associated with a heel spur. This is a spike of bone poking out from the heel bone.
-
2. Why is my plantar fasciitis so bad at night?
Plantar fasciitis can often feel worse at night because of inactivity during periods of sleep. It can tighten and become stiff. This can intensify the pain when you start moving again as you get out of bed. The position of your foot during sleep can also affect your symptoms. If your foot is pointed down while you sleep, this can shorten the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, leading to pain when you stretch them again.
-
3. What are the biggest benefits of wearing a plantar fasciitis night splint?
When worn during sleep, a plantar fasciitis night splint will maintain your foot at a specific angle. This prevents the plantar fascia from tightening overnight. Essentially, they gently lengthen your plantar fascia and calf muscles, which can help to reduce inflammation. They can increase flexibility and promote healing without needing surgery. When you use it regularly, it can provide long-term relief from symptoms and improve foot function.
-
4. Can night splints for plantar fasciitis help with other conditions?
Yes, they can also help with conditions including heel spurs (a bony-like growth that extends between the heel bone and arch), drop foot (a general term for a difficulty lifting the front part of the foot), and Achilles tendinitis (a painful syndrome affecting the Achilles tendon, which attaches your calf muscles to your heel bone). They can also help with more general ankle or foot issues, including ankle sprains, arthritis, and foot pain after an injury or surgery.
-
5. How long before I feel relief with my ankle and foot splint?
While many people feel relief immediately, it can take a few days to get used to an ankle and foot splint. It’s recommended you wear it for a few hours during the first few days while reading a book or watching TV. You can then increase its usage before you transition to wearing it at night. But don’t stress! Take your time, and do whatever makes your body feel comfortable.
-
6. Are there different sizes of foot and ankle splints?
No, but that’s one of the amazing benefits of our night splint for plantar fasciitis. No sizes are needed because it works with all feet and ankle circumferences between 20 and 38 centimetres. It is also breathable, lightweight and ultra-soft and can be put on and removed within seconds.
