Comfortable and Effective Dorsal Night Splint

This simple Achilles tendonitis night splint fits securely and comfortably, holding the foot at a 90-degree angle to the ankle (plantar flexed). This enables the dorsal night splint to treat conditions such as:

The dorsal night splint for plantar fasciitis is made out of high-density polyethylene shell that is durable and stable and straps to keep it in place. The Achilles night splint has a sewn-in memory foam pad that provides support and makes the dorsal foot splint comfortable to wear as one sleeps.

The Achilles splint covers no more of the foot than is necessary, making it more comfortable and breathable. The memory foam pad also helps avoid the pressure points one might develop wearing other night splints.

Of note, some studies have shown dorsal night splints reduce one’s plantar fasciitis symptoms more quickly than traditional anterior night splints that fit against the back of the ankle and bottom of one’s foot. 

Plus, dorsal splints for the foot are generally viewed as more comfortable, making it easier to follow through on this conservative treatment method. It is also easier to move around at night when wearing a night dorsal splint than an anterior night splint.

Night Splint for Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis and More

Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis occur when one has put too much strain on the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia, respectively, causing pain and stiffness in the corresponding areas. (Learn more about the symptoms and causes of Achilles tendonitis and Plantar Fasciitis) Both are common among runners and can typically be addressed via simple at-home measures. These might include:

  • Resting the foot
  • Icing the injured region
  • Engaging in stretching exercises
  • Using orthotics such as a shoe insert during the day and a night splint while sleeping
  • Taking over-the-counter pain medications
  • Losing weight (if needed)

Using orthotics such as a heel wedge for Achilles tendonitis or an arch support during the day can reduce stress on the Achilles tendon and arch of the support when one is going about his or her day. At night, one can wear a night splint to prevent the Achilles tendon or plantar fascia from tightening up or healing in a shortened length, causing plantar flexion contracture.

The ability of this night splint to hold the foot in plantar flexion also makes it useful after a stroke or for one looking for a foot drop brace to prevent the forefoot from slapping or dragging across the floor.

It worked !

This is the only thing that finally got my Achilles tendonitis fixed. Because I sleep on my stomach, my foot is angled in a way that the tendon is sore in the morning. This you can actually sleep with, without too much annoyance. I would wear it during the day as well. Anytime my tendon hurt, I would put this on for a few hours and the pain would be gone when I took it off. I thought I was going to be hosed for life. Thank goodness I found this. After using it for a week, I didn't need to use it anymore...and have not had any pain since.

Noticeable difference

I didn’t think this would help much since my original fracture 25 years ago, multiple surgeries since and a fusion in 2016. My Achilles is super tight. This actually helps and it’s comfortable to wear over night.

Game changer

I love how it works and wish I had this 10 years ago. No more foot pain in the morning or feeling like my achilles is going to snap going down the stairs. 4 stars instead of 5 because of the velcro. My only improvement suggestion is to switch to straps of some kind. The velcro is loud and wakes my partner when I remove the braces, so I have to leave the room which is a nuisance.

Worth the effort and expense

It took some getting used to, as it’s interaction with our bed linens including a weighted blanket create a little more effort when shifting during the course of a night. Noticeable reduction of pain in my ankle after just 10 days of use.

Nighttime Achilles Splint

Excellent. You replaced a different model splint that didn’t help me as soon as I requested an exchange. You payed the freight to replace it, both ways. The new splint works great.
