FOOT CARE Heel Pain/Plantar Fasciitis Night Splints
The plantar fascia is the connective tissue that supports the arch on the bottom of your foot. When this tissue is inflamed it can be very painful. This condition is called plantar fasciitis. Night splints gently stretch the plantar fascia while you sleep, reducing the inflammation and pain. Night splints are also used to treat achilles tendinitis, calf muscle cramps, arthritis and heel/arch pain.
