What to buy with Cramer Night Splint for Plantar Fasciitis
How to wear Cramer Dorsal Splint?
Step 1:
The Dorsal Night splint can be worn on either foot. Simply slide the foot into the splint so that the inside flap always rests on the arch.
Step 2:
Bring the flaps together to a comfortable position and fasten firmly with the Velcro strap. Once the Dorsal Strap has been properly adjusted, do not remove. Slip foot in and out as you would a slipper.
Step 3:
Secure the two remaining straps comfortably around the lower leg. The straps should be snug but not tight enough to cause any discomfort or numbness in the lower leg.
How Night Splints relieve Plantar Fasciitis Pain?

- Night splints are especially effective when used as part of a day/night treatment method
- Speed up the healing process by allowing you to treat your heel pain while you sleep
- Wearing a night splint to keep the foot and arch stretched keeps the plantar fascia ligament from contracting and becoming less flexible (and more vulnerable to pain) in the morning
Cramer DNS Plantar Fasciitis Brace FAQ
How are night splints useful?
Night splints are designed to be worn as you go to bed to provide a gentle but constant stretch in your ankle to avoid stiffness. Night Splints maintain the foot in a position with the toes pointed up, immobilizing your foot and supporting the ankle.
What is the treatment for plantar fascia?
Plantar Fasciitis can be treated with small lifestyle changes. Try stretching, exercising, icing, massaging your feet, and wearing night splints. Orthotic inserts are recommended to support the plantar fascia and allow it to heal and also to prevent the recurrence of the pain once the plantar fascia has healed. In some cases, surgery may be required to heal the problem.
How long does it take for plantar fasciitis to heal?
Plantar fasciitis may take 3 to 12 months to heal completely. Medical treatment, along with an ankle Splint, can help your foot heal faster.
