Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint - Stretch Boot for Foot Pain Relief

The Alpha Medical Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint is a highly recommended product for treating Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, and other related conditions. It is designed to provide fast relief by cradling the ankle in a neutral position while you sleep, effectively stretching the calf and plantar fascia. This gentle stretch helps reduce muscle contracture, inflammation, and associated pain.

The night splint features a lightweight and breathable shell with three padded straps that include buckles for secure immobilization. The padding is covered in washable Lycra material, ensuring maximum comfort against the skin. The size guide is indicated by stickers on the brace, with "S" for Small, "M" for Medium, and "L" for Large. The night splint is suitable for both feet and is not specific to left or right feet.

To apply the night splint, un-attach the three front straps using the quick-snaps provided. Place your foot into the splint, ensuring that the heel fits snugly against the heel of the splint. Attach the bottom strap and adjust it until it feels snug, making sure the straps are under the dorsi-flexion straps. Continue by attaching the remaining two straps, adjusting them for tightness as needed.

For dorsi-flexion adjustment, un-attach the dorsi-flexion straps and simultaneously pull to adjust the desired level of stretch. If you experience any pain in the resting position, you can remove the foam wedge from under the toe to reduce dorsi-flexion.

The night splint should be hand washed using cold water and mild detergent, then air dried. Avoid dry cleaning, ironing, or bleaching any part of the brace.

When using the night splint, it is recommended to gradually increase wearing time. Start with wearing it for only one hour the first night and then extend the duration gradually. The tension of the splint can be adjusted to your comfort level. Ideally, wear it overnight or for around 4 to 5 hours at a time. The gentle stretching provided by the splint helps reduce inflammation, muscle contracture, and associated pain.

The plantar fasciitis night splint includes a foam wedge for calf and plantar fascia stretch adjustment. To attach the wedge, lift the fabric pad at the toe area of the boot and slide the wedge underneath, affixing it to the Velcro on the bottom of the boot.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel and foot pain, resulting from the weakening, swelling, and irritation of the plantar fascia ligament. This condition is especially prevalent among individuals who are actively on their feet or engage in activities such as walking or running. Common occupations and activities that can contribute to plantar fasciitis include nursing, military service, retail work, and various sports.

Overall, the Alpha Medical Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint is a reliable solution for alleviating night time foot and heel pain. Its lightweight and breathable design, along with adjustable straps and dorsi-flexion options, ensure a comfortable and customizable fit. By gradually increasing usage, you can effectively stretch the tendons and ligaments in your foot for long-term relief.
