This prevents the plantar fascia from contracting during rest — the primary cause of the sharp heel pain experienced with the first steps in the morning. A foam wedge is included for patients who require additional stretch on the plantar fascia. The lightweight design prioritizes patient comfort during sleep, and the splint fits either the left or right foot. This listing is for the Small size, fitting men’s shoe sizes 4–6 and women’s shoe sizes 5–7 (SKU 4833).

Individuals with Achilles tendinitis who have been advised to maintain a gentle stretch on the Achilles tendon during rest will benefit from the dorsiflexion position the splint holds throughout the night. Patients in the early to mid stages of plantar fasciitis treatment who are using the splint as part of a comprehensive program including stretching, orthotics, and activity modification will find the nighttime stretch a valuable complement to daytime management strategies. The included foam wedge also makes the splint suitable for patients who require a more aggressive stretch than the standard dorsiflexion position provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a night splint help with plantar fasciitis?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring sleep, the foot naturally relaxes into a plantarflexed (toes-down) position, which allows the plantar fascia to shorten and tighten overnight. When the patient takes their first steps in the morning, the shortened fascia is suddenly stretched, causing the sharp heel pain characteristic of plantar fasciitis. A night splint holds the foot in dorsiflexion (toes up) during sleep, keeping the plantar fascia gently stretched throughout the night so it does not shorten. This significantly reduces or eliminates morning heel pain for most patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the foam wedge included with the splint?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe foam wedge is an accessory that can be added to the splint to increase the degree of dorsiflexion and provide a more aggressive stretch on the plantar fascia. It is recommended for patients who need a greater stretch than the standard splint position provides, or as directed by their physician or physical therapist. Start without the wedge and add it only if advised by your clinician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear this splint on either foot?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. This night splint is designed to fit either the left or right foot — no side-specific version is needed. One splint can be used on whichever foot requires treatment, or alternated between feet if both are affected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if Small is the right size for me?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Small fits men’s shoe sizes 4–6 and women’s shoe sizes 5–7. Other sizes are available for larger feet. Using the correct size ensures the splint holds the foot in the proper dorsiflexion angle for effective treatment. If you are between sizes, consult your physician or physical therapist for guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Complete Medical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40388669505590,"sku":"4833","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/complete-medical-plantar-fasciitis-night-splint-default-title-plantar-fasciitis-night-splint-small-men-s-4-6-women-s-5-7-23632051273782.jpg?v=1788638851","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/en-ca\/products\/plantar-fasciitis-night-splint-small-mens-4-6-womens-5-7","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
