The Alpha Medical Brand Night Splint allows the foot to be in a controlled amount of dorsi flexion which provides a gentle stretch to the Achilles Tendon and Plantar Fascia. Gentle stretching helps reduce inflammation, muscle contracture and other associated pain. The Night Splint is made of a sturdy and lightweight low-profile shell with a breathable soft foam interior. There are three padded straps with buckles on the outside of the splint to ensure immobilization and adjustable dorsi flexion straps for stretching of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon.

Preparation
1. Begin by un-attaching the 3 straps across the front of the night splint using the quick-snaps provided. Do not loosen the dorsi-flexion straps at this time.
Application
1. Place your foot into the night splint, making sure the heel fits snug against the heel of the splint.
2. Attach the bottom strap and adjust until snug. The straps should be fed under the dorsi-flexion straps.
3. Continue by attaching the remaining 2 straps as described above. Adjust straps for tightness as needed.
Dorsi-Flexion Adjustment
1. Un-attach the dorsi-flexion straps and simultaneously pull to adjust the dorsi-flexion to the desired level. If pain is experienced with the night splint in the resting position, the wedge can be removed from under the toe for less dorsi-flexion.
Cleaning Instructions
Hand wash using cold water and mild detergent. Air dry. Do not dry clean, iron or bleach any part of this brace.
So far so good I bought this to alleviate plantar fasciitis in both feet at the recommendation of my doctor. I assumed it would come as a pair but you only get one. This was my own mistake, not the fault of the seller. But be aware if you think like I do. I found it to be comfortable but bulky. If you are a back sleeper or a side sleeper, it isn’t too bad, just awkward when you want to turn over at night. I think it would be less comfortable if you stack your knees on your side while you sleep. I’m a stork…
Works good Didnt really have a lot of hope for improvement but my heel is not tight and painful upon waking when I use this. I would recommend to anyone else in pain from planar fasciatis.
Performs as expected, buckles hard to use. My podiatrist suggested I get a night splint but didnât give me any specifications. I like this one, the price was right. Itâs constructed well and fairly comfortable. My only complaint is the buckles. They are the simple snap together type that you have used your whole life. But for some reason these are near impossible to hook and unhook. There are many night splints listed on Amazon, look around…
