Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint for Heel & Foot Pain; P.F. Brace L4398 (Large)

This product is recommended to be used gradually, with use slowly increased over time to stretch the tendons and ligaments in your foot. The Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint by Alpha Medical is designed to treat Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, and other recommended conditions. It provides fast relief by cradling your ankle in a neutral position overnight, gently stretching the calf and plantar fascia while you sleep. The lightweight, low profile shell is sturdy and breathable, with three padded straps and buckles for immobilization. It is recommended by HCPC L4398. The sizing is indicated by stickers on the brace (S for Small, M for Medium, L for Large), and the night splint is suitable for both feet.

When preparing the night splint, the three straps across the front of the night splint should be un-attached, and the foot should be placed into the night splint, ensuring the heel fits snugly. Then, the three straps should be re-attached, and the dorsi-flexion straps should be adjusted for the desired level. The night splint can be hand washed using cold water and mild detergent, and should be air dried.

To effectively use the PF Night Splint, it is best to wear it for only 1 hour the first night, then gradually increase the time. The splint is adjustable, so the tension can be altered. The goal is to wear it overnight or for around 4 to 5 hours at a time. The gentle stretching provided helps to reduce inflammation, muscle contracture, and associated pain.

The foam wedge attached to the toe area of the night splint can be adjusted or removed to increase or decrease the stretch of the calf and plantar fascia. The dorsi-flexion straps can also be adjusted for the desired level.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel and foot pain, and the plantar fascia is the ligament that supports the arch of the foot. The condition is most common among active individuals who are on their feet a lot, such as runners, athletes, nurses, military personnel, and retail workers.

In conclusion, the PF Night Splint by Alpha Medical is designed to provide relief from plantar fasciitis and other associated conditions, and can be used effectively through the gradual increase of use over time. It is a comfortable and adjustable solution to help alleviate night time foot and heel pain.
