Night Splints

Nighttime Night Splints for Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis and Bunions

Most people sleep with their feet pointed down. This tightens the plantar fascia and is one of the reasons for morning heel pain. A night splint stretches the plantar fascia while you sleep. Although it can be hard to sleep with - a night splint works well and does not have to be used once the pain is gone.

There are several styles of night splints available, including tension-based, rigid and dorsal styles. All work, but personal preferences are different. Some people struggle to sleep with rigid devices, where tension based can be bit too aggressive. All our Night Splints are NHS quality and available to clinicians through NHS Supply Chain.

Choosing a Night Splint

Nighttime Splints for Plantar Fasciitis are devices designed to treat orthopaedic conditions, particularly those affecting the foot and ankle. They are usually worn while sleeping. They help with problems like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis and other tendon related problems. These problems involve tight muscles or soft tissue in the lower leg.

Key features of a Nighttime Splint

Design: The foot splints are generally boot-like in design and are worn on the foot and lower leg. They keep the foot in a dorsiflexed or upward position, with the toes pointing towards the shin.

Purpose: The main goal is to keep a gentle and long stretch on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the foot and calf at night. This can help alleviate morning pain and stiffness associated with certain conditions.

Conditions Treated: These splints are commonly used for conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis and calf muscle tightness. The stretching provided by the splint helps prevent the soft tissues from tightening up overnight.

Comfort: Many splints are adjustable to accommodate different foot sizes and can be padded for comfort. Some are designed to be worn on either foot.

Usage: Healthcare professionals usually recommend them. They are part of a complete treatment plan. This plan may include stretching exercises, physical therapy, and other treatments.

It’s important to remember that using a night splint should be done with help from a healthcare professional. They can check your condition and suggest the best treatment plan.

How Night Splints Help with Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis

Night splints can help a lot for people with plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. They are great if you are tired of waking up with sharp pain in your feet. The main benefit of using one is that it stops your foot from tightening at night. This is often the cause of that painful first step in the morning.

How the Splint Works

1. Keeping Your Foot Stretched

When you sleep, your feet naturally point down, which shortens the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. This is why that first stretch when you stand up is so painful. Wearing the splint holds your foot in a neutral position, maintaining a gentle stretch. This stops your muscles and tissues from contracting overnight, reducing the shock of stretching when you get out of bed.

2. Helping the Healing Process

By gently stretching these tissues, the splint helps improve blood flow. This supports your body in healing small tears and reducing inflammation. It acts as a supportive tool that works while you rest, promoting tissue repair without putting extra strain on your foot.

3. Preventing Further Injury

One of the biggest benefits is how it protects you from aggravating the condition. The pain often comes from the tissues being forced to stretch suddenly after being tight all night. By keeping them gently stretched, you avoid this sudden pull, reducing the risk of further damage.

4. Passive Treatment

What’s great about this approach is that it works while you sleep. You don’t need to remember to do exercises or stretches before bed. The splint does the work for you. It keeps your foot in the right position without any effort from you.

5. Improving Flexibility

Over time, this gentle stretch helps increase the flexibility of both the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. Using this regularly can make daily activities, like walking or running, less painful. It can also lower the risk of re-injury.

Why Splints are Effective for Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis

For plantar fasciitis, the splint prevents the fascia from tightening, easing that classic morning pain. For Achilles tendonitis, it helps stretch the Achilles tendon, preventing stiffness and discomfort. Many designs are adjustable, so you can gradually increase the stretch as your body adapts.

And...

These devices are a simple, effective way to manage plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. By keeping your foot in a neutral position while you sleep, you can reduce pain. This helps promote healing and protects against further injury. Combined with other treatments like stretching or orthotics, this can make a big difference in your recovery and comfort.
