General Application: To alleviate pain in the arch and heel area. Medical Application: To relieve symptoms of plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. In addition, may relieve symptoms of peroneal and tibial nerve entrapment. How It Works: To be worn during inactivity (sleeping), the Pro-Tec Night Splint gently stretches the plantar fascia ligament, promoting flexibility. By increasing flexibility of the plantar fascia ligament, the likelihood of further strain or tearing is decreased, enhancing the healing process. Design Theory: Terrycloth cover slips over a polypropylene shell, keeping the foot in comfortable dorsiflexion. Removable heel wedge raises toes, increasing stretch slightly. Adjustable ankle strap holds heel deep into heel cup portion of brace. Size Chart:
