Chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis is often worse in the morning. Now you can get the same professional nighttime relief prescribed by podiatrists and orthopedists with the Passive Night Stretch Splint from Maramed. It holds the foot and toes in a flexed position throughout the night, stretching the plantar fascia and the Achilles tendon to relieve the pain of plantar fasciitis. Several scientific studies of nighttime splints report complete relief after 4-12 weeks of wear. The removable and washable soft padded velour won't get caught in bed linens. Velcro straps can be easily adjusted. Fits left or right foot. Specify men's/women's shoes size.
