Need specific info for my Plantar Fasciitis

So my feet are killing me, and I've seen ads for night splints online. Could someone recommend a specific brand of night splints for plantar fasciitis that you have found helpful?

Thanks.

We can't offer specific medical advice, but there have been numerous threads on this subject. If you do a search for "plantar fasciitis or foot pain" I'm sure you'll find the information you need.

Hope you feel better soon!

Yeah, I've done a search on the topic, but no one has mentioned a specific brand of splints, which is what I'd like recommendations on. Thanks.

Re: Need specific info for my Plantar Fasciitis

I too suffer greatly from plantar fasciitis. I purchased the strassburg sock. http://www.thesock.com/howitworks.html It helps but did not "fix" the problem. I have purchased dansko professional shoes, they were ok but I would still get flair ups. I also bought a pair of Brooks to help the pronating. Ok but not perfect. I just got off of working 5 12's in a row and needless to say I was in a great amount of pain. So I decided to try another pair of shoes. I bought Nike Shox and wore them 8 hours with no heel pain whatsoever. IMO, icing the foot helps, taking an anti-inflam. helps, the sock helps, taping the bottom of your foot helps, orthotics help, but nothing made it go away but the Nike Shox. I have learned though that everyone is different. I found the arch support in the Shox AMAZING! Right when you try them on you feel the support. I continue to wear the sock. Some where I read you should wear it at least 2 weeks. In addition to the sock, I would find the perfect pair of shoes! Good luck!
