It really does sound like the night splint is working for you. Although I have not heard of it being one of the MOST effective treatments, I am sure that in conjuction with other interventions, it helps. I have a night splint, but don't use it right now since my PF is in "remission". (I say remission because I had it in 91-93, and again in 95-98... so badly that I limped for years, all day everyday). Overall, the night splint helped the most with being able to get up every morning and start my day. I think that after a while the pain was so bad all the time that psychologically just knowing it wouldn't be there first thing in the morning really helped. Whether it really helps that much or we feel it helps. Either way we help ourselves towrds recovery. We are all so different, that although I would say orthotics were the miracle workers for me, perhaps a night splint is doing the trick for you!
