Night Splints

Night splints are supportive devices worn while sleeping to help improve foot and ankle conditions, commonly used for issues like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinitis. They work by gently stretching the muscles and tissues in the foot and calf, reducing stiffness and discomfort. This continuous stretch during sleep helps promote healing and prevents the tissues from tightening overnight, which can worsen pain. Night splints are typically made of rigid or semi-rigid material and are adjustable for comfort. They are a non-invasive treatment option aimed at easing morning pain and improving foot function over time.
