Comfort Dorsal Night Splint for Effective Relief From Plantar Fasciitis - Essential Treatment for Alleviation of Night Time Plantar Fasciitis Pain
MARS Wellness Comfort Dorsal Night Splint  is primarily intended for treating Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis, and may be ideal for other conditions recommended by a physician. The purpose of this light weight plantar fasciitis night brace is to keep the patient's ankle in a neutral position overnight, passively stretching the calf and plantar fascia during sleep. This gentle stretch helps reduce the muscle contracture, inflammation and associated pain. The lightweight, low profile shell is sturdy and breathable and has three padded straps with buckles to ensure immobilization. In addition, the padding features a washable Lycra covering that is cool against the skin for maximum comfort.
About Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia is the flat band of tissue (ligament) that connects your heel bone to your toes. It supports the arch of your foot. If you strain your plantar fascia, it gets weak, swollen, and irritated (inflamed). Then your heel or the bottom of your foot hurts when you stand or walk. Plantar fasciitis is common in middle-aged people. It also occurs in younger people who are on their feet a lot, like athletes or soldiers. It can happen in one foot or both feet.
Causes of Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is caused by straining the ligament that supports your arch. Repeated strain can cause tiny tears in the ligament. These can lead to pain and swelling. This is more likely to happen if:
Your feet roll inward too much when you walk (excessive pronation ).
You have high arches or flat feet.
You walk, stand, or run for long periods of time, especially on hard surfaces.
You are overweight.
You wear shoes that don't fit well or are worn out.
You have tight Achilles tendons or calf muscles.
Our dorsal night splint is clinically proven to manage pain caused by foot drop, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinitis while you sleep
Less bulky and more comfortable than a traditional posterior night splint, which is difficult to walk or move in
Provides passive stretch to both the Achilles tendon and the plantar fascia by pulling from above
Holds your foot upright while you rest for a gentle, consistent stretch to your plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, and calf muscle.
Comfort dorsal plantar fasciitis night splint fits both the left or right foot
The splint is supposed to keep your foot from straightening out at night which helps to heal plantar fasciitis. It does that okay. One thing I wanted was to be able to adjust the angle of my foot and thought it would do that with the strap from top of the foot to the shin. However, the plastic body is so hard that tightening the strap does absolutely nothing. I asked the company about it and they said it was to create "tension." It doesn't create tension as nothing changes. If you want to be able to change your foot angle, look elsewhere.

Excellent Product!
I have had severe plantar fasciitis for many years and have used another makers night splint for at least 5 years. When I needed a replacement I did a little checking and the Mars Dorsal Night Splint seemed like the best option for me. It is much more comfortable than the splint I previously used and holds my foot at just the right angle. As far as service, I ordered the unit one day and it arrived the very next day! I strongly recommend this product as part of any program to control plantar fasciitis pain.
