Is the going to work like a night splint for planter fasciitis?

Never tried the night splint. But this sleeve is very comfortable to sleep in and wear all day. It made a huge difference for my plantar facsiitis. I was sceptical at first myself, but it does really help.

I can wear mine all day long for that extra support. It really helps the pain.

No a night splint keeps your calf from contracting at night. This is just compression for your foot to promote blood flow back to your heart. If your feet swell while you are on them all day this will help with the swelling and pain.

You can easily wear this overnight, however I took mine off at night just to give my foot a breather. I wore everyday for 4 weeks during the day and it was very comfortable...and my problem did get better. I am now fine and I do credit the sock with helping me out.

It worked for me as a splint at night, it is pretty tight on the foot. I used it under socks as well but could not wear it for an extended length of time because it became uncomfortable.

I agree that you should not walk around in these splints for day-to-day chores. But for getting up at night to use the bathroom or some other short walk when you intend to go back to bed afterwards - that is fine. Just remember to take heed to adjust your stance to remain balanced.

I really don't know for that particular condition, but I can say that the foot walkers are great overall devices for stretching out your feet and they certainly helped my plantar fasciitis condition!

The way this product is designed you get compression equally at the ankle, heel and arch, which helps greatly if you suffer from plantar faciitis. I am not certain how that compression will feel if you have swelling, but I guess it would give some relief from the swelling if it isn't too tight...

The back and sole are hard plastic, but the "straps" (there are 3) are velcro. I would say that it is not a boot in the sense that it would be pretty uncomfortable to walk in. However, like the others suggest, it is a great option (and not that different from a podaitrist provided but much more expensive option) for wearing for an hour or so at a time. I found that it was too uncomfortable/awkward to sleep in, but I definitely found relief just wearing it while reading or watching TV in the evening before bed. Definitely a good option for plantar faciitis.

I cannot attest one way or another if this device helps plantar fasciitis pain because I just bought the unit and haven't used it yet. However, my husband had a terrible case of PF from wearing steel toed boots in the oil field, and he derived complete relief from these insoles:Powerstep Pinnacle Men's / Women's Full Length Insoles M 10-10.5 / W 12-12.5 Size GHe has since bought a dozen or so pairs! They helped him when a podiatrist's prescribed boots did not!

I am not familiar with this condition. So I googled it. It is only my opinion that I think it would help. I purchased this system for my plantar fasciitis which is heel pain. I found that following the protocol was extremely helpful. I was told to learn to live with my condition, get special shoes or opt for surgery. That was not an option for me. Diligence is required and getting past the initial pain is key. It was a "hurts so good" because I got tremendous relief. I no longer have plantar fasciitis. I don't know if this answer has been a help to you but I believe it is definitely worth the effort. Occasionally I still use my walkers when my feet are tired. I am not familiar with this condition.

I haven't tried it, but have treated a lot with cushioned heel raises, so the Tulis heal cup will have the same effect.See these for more:http://www.podiatry-arena.com/podiatry-forum/tags/index.php?tag=/severs-disease/http://www.foot-health-forum.com/forum/tags.php?tag=severs+disease

Absolutely. Your foot isn't going any where when it's in this boot. You may need to get used to the feel of it during the night, but otherwise it works great.

Yes. I recommened having a pillow between your knees. I have ordered 3 differnt styles to help with my fascitis, abd this boot has been the best so far. you will need to play with the straps to adjust them to make sure it is not to tight in some places and too loose in others. But after the 3rd night, I had the adjusting in a good place. It is a little akward at first to sleep with it on, but now I forget I have it on. Good luck and I hope your fascitis gets better.

This splint is designed for stretching during the night so your heel will not hurt the following morning.

Yes, I believe it would. However, that is the area where I feel the most pressure being applied by the brace. You may need to check with a podiatrist or your regular Dr. to be sure that it wouldn't be too irritating. It is a very supportive brace overall.

Yes . It is giving me relief but it won't cure your condition "over night" An anti inflammatory will help with the pain

I purchased the mentioned boot/brace because I have plantar fasciitis; I have been wearing it every night to sleep. It has given me great relief from foot pains which begins at the arch of my foot and radiates into my heel. Recommend trying this before purchasing expensive shoe inserts that some shoe stores recommend.

You don't state the source of the problem, if it is diabetes, I couldn't say. I have used mine on the heel for plantar fasciitis and it did ease the pain and likely reduced the time of discomfort overall. In either case, it won't hurt to try it, the foam on mine fell off but I just used it without. You might consult your local health store to see if they have anything to restore circulation and support nerve repair in the herbal supplements.

It is one solid piece and it actually hurt my foot. I have planter fasciitis and unfortunately, it did not help that.
