  • Title: Use of posterior night splints in the treatment of plantar fasciitis.
    Author: Ryan J.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1995 Sep 01; 52(3):891-8, 901-2. PubMed ID: 7653427.
    Abstract:
    Plantar fasciitis is a frequent cause of heel pain in athletes, as well as in persons who are not involved in sports. Stretching, strengthening, correction of training errors and orthotics are essential components in any treatment program. For patients who do not respond to these interventions, posterior night splints can obviate the need for invasive therapies such as corticosteroid injections and surgery.
