Össur FormFit Heel Spur Night Splint

This night splint is a prefabricated night splint / night orthosis for the conservative treatment of heel spurs and Achilles tendon complaints.

Night splint / Night Orthosis – Treatment of Achilles tendon and heel spur complaints

This prefabricated ankle / foot orthosis is a night orthosis for the conservative treatment of plantar fasciitis (heel spurs) and Achilles tendon complaints. This night splint comes standard with an extra ‘wedge’ to give the tendon plate under you an extra stretch. This is strongly recommended for heel spur complaints. The combination with (soft) insoles during the day is recommended for optimal results.

NB: This heel spur night splint can be worn both left and right.

How to use the heel spur night splint:

Wear this night orthosis every night for a number of weeks for the best results. Build up noticeable stretch on the underside of the foot when putting on. We have also drawn up a number of good exercises in consultation with our physiotherapists, which can be downloaded here.

Function:

This night splint comfortably supports the affected foot in a controlled amount of dorsiflexion (the position of the foot when the toes are raised) applying a Low Load Prolonged Stretch (LLPS) to the soft tissues of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon.

The orthosis can break the cycle of injury, pain, and re-injury by limiting contraction of the soft tissues during the night.
