Address Your Foot Pain While You Sleep
Night splints are designed to support tissue healing by maintaining a neutral or slightly stretched position, reducing the cycle of re-irritation and promoting faster recovery.
Step 1
Anchor Splint
Put sock on with rings facing forward. Tighten the upper strap above the calf and below the knee. Make sure the cuff is secure and snug, but not too tight to avoid loss of circulation.
Step 2
Align At The Base
Adjust the attached foot strap so that the undersurface sits at the base of your toes or balls of your feet (Metatarsophalangeal joints).
Step 3
Connect Toe Strap
Take the strap attached to the base of your foot, pass it under and thru the ring on the upper cuff, and pull until your ankle is at about a 90 degree angle. Secure the strap to the Velcro so that the strap is taught.
Step 4
Sit Back & Enjoy Relief
Pull the toe strap through the ring on the strap and secure the Velcro at your desired stretch for your plantar fascia. Start with a mild stretch and increase gradually over time.
Important:
For optimal results, it is essential to begin with a gentle stretch as your body adjusts to wearing the splint overnight. Avoid starting with an aggressive stretch, as this may cause discomfort and prevent you from sleeping through the night. A low-grade stretch sustained over several nights will yield better results than an intense stretch for a shorter period.
