The Night Splint

The Night Splint is a  foot and arch brace worn while you sleep to speed recovery from Plantar Fasciitis, heel spurs and Achilles' tendinitis.  This very successful brace is also known as a dorsiflexation brace, as its main objective is to keep the foot comfortably angled at 90 degrees throughout the night. As a result, the Plantar Fascia and the Achilles tendon can not spasm and shorten as they usually do when individuals suffer from Plantar Fasciitis, heel spurs or Achilles' tendinitis.  The Westcoast Orthopedic Laboratories' Night Splint is the most comfortable way to stretch these areas while you sleep and provides drug-free relief.  When the foot is properly supported and cushioned during the day, through the use of orthotics, the complementary use of the Night Splint will be most successful.  

The U.S. Orthopedic Surgeons Association recognizes Night Splints as the most under-prescribed treatment for inflammatory-type foot problems.  The Westcoast Orthopedic Laboratories' Night Splint is adjustable for optimal comfort and comes in five sizes for both the left and right feet.  The angle is also adjustable to increase the stretch as the tendons heal to accommodate a greater extension.  A Toe Wedge is included for increased stretching of the arch while treating Plantar Fasciitis and heel spurs.  You will feel a noticeable difference in the affected
areas after just one night, and over time tender areas will be completely cured.

The Night Splint has been replaced by the Night Splint Sock as it is more comfortable, less expensive and just as effective.
