Why a night splint?
Heel pain from plantar fasciitis affects roughly 1 in 10 people at some point — runners, nurses, teachers, and anyone who spends long days on their feet. While you sleep, the plantar fascia contracts; a night splint keeps it gently lengthened so mornings feel manageable. Pair it with calf stretches and supportive footwear to give your feet a real head start. If pain persists or worsens, check in with a healthcare professional.
