Night Splints for Plantar Fasciitis

Lack of flexibility in the calf muscles is the most common cause of heel pain, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and achilles tendonitis.  Night splints can be used in the evening to improve calf muscle flexibility.  They can also be used during sleep to prevent night-time contracture of the calf muscle so that the first few steps in the morning are not painful.  Journal articles show night splints can be effective.

Recommended Night Splint  $48   Customer Reviews
Very durable and similar to the HealWell, this is the night splint we recommend because of its high quality and low price.  58 Customer Reviews rank this as our best night splint.  It also has the lowest return rate (2.5%).
Dorsal Night Splint  $50   New Product
  • Pros: more comfortable, stores in small area
  • Cons: fixed at one angle
  • Pro and Con: A gentler stretch.
85 degree Night Splint  $50   Customer Reviews
This is a great, simple, comfortable splint, with fewer straps to adjust since there are no side straps.  There isn't any exposed plastic for snagging on bed sheets.  It has 5 degrees dorsiflexion and a wedge under the toes (like most night splints) to stretch the plantar fascia as well as the calf muscle.  The slight angle helps a lot for walking in it, although the manufacturer says not to walk in it.  It may not fit extra-large calves.
HealWell™ Night Splint   $68   Customer Reviews
Before we found the less-expensive night splint shown above, the HealWell was our best-selling, with a low return rate (3%).
The Cub Night Splint  $68   Customer Reviews
This is the smallest night splint that is adjustable and does not require the side straps.  It does not hold the foot back as strongly as the other designs, but it's popular and has a low return rate.  It comes in left and right. 
N'ice Stretch™  $62   Customer Reviews
This one looks like it might get warm, but it includes a small ice pack on the bottom.  This one packages into a smaller volume than most, about the size of a pair of blue jeans.
