Dorsiwedge
Dorsiwedge Night Splint
If plantar fasciitis has you dreading those first painful steps out of bed, the Dorsiwedge Night Splint is designed to change how your mornings start. Worn while you sleep, it holds the foot in gentle dorsiflexion?a slight upward flex?so the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon stay lengthened overnight instead of tightening up. That sustained low-load stretch is what relieves the sharp heel pain that so many sufferers feel with their first weight-bearing steps each day.
What sets the Dorsiwedge apart from bulky, hard-shell boot splints is its low-profile foam construction. It's lightweight, breathable, and far easier to sleep in, which matters because a night splint only helps if you actually wear it. The hook-and-loop closures let you adjust the tension to a comfortable stretch and fine-tune it as your flexibility improves. Beyond plantar fasciitis, it's also used for Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs, and to help prevent contractures.
