At night the tendon plate relaxes and shortens, the body also recovers at night and can repair any damage or hairline cracks on the tendon plate. Stretching this tendon plate again in the morning by loading causes the 'starting pains'. In addition, there is a risk that new hairline cracks will form in this tendon plate in the morning (Fasciitis Plantaris) . The injury can become chronic if this vicious circle is not broken.

Causes of the heel spur

There are many different causes that can lead to a heel spur. The most common cause is due to overloading the foot and tendon plate. Are many at work? Just started running? Exercising a lot? Do you wear high heels? Slumped feet? Or bad shoes? These are all kinds of ways in which heel spurs can arise.

Heel spur symptoms

• Pain under the heel / heel
• In the morning you have trouble walking, during the day you are fine.
• Foot feels painful
• Walking and running hurts
• Hold moisture under the heel

Heel bone treatment

The purpose of a heel spur brace is to 'hold' the foot at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to the lower leg. It is not the intention to put a lot of pressure on the heel spur brace. The goal is only to prevent the foot from relaxing. Because the heel spur brace prevents the foot from relaxing during the night, there is a constant low tension on the tendon plate of the foot. This means that this tendon plate cannot relax and shorten during the night. In the morning you will notice that the starting pains become less severe because the tendon does not need to be stretched again. This is because the tendon plate is already at length thanks to the heel spur brace.

ProBrace selects only the best products, based on our practical experience and our consultation hours. From all different products and suppliers, ProBrace has made a selection of three types of night splints. Each type of heel spur night splint has specific features. Below you can see which heel spur night splint best suits your situation:

• The Strassbourger sock : This sock is especially suitable for people who are very mobile during sleep. The disadvantage of this sock is that it 'pulls' quite a bit on the toes, which can cause cramps in the calf. The big advantage of the Strassbourger sock is that it is made entirely of textile and therefore breathable.
• Nox Night Splint: This night splint is also suitable for belly sleepers. The big advantage of this splint is the compactness in combination with the rigidity, so that the pressure can be evenly distributed under the ball of the foot. It is actually the ideal combination between the Strassbourger sock and the UFO night splint.
• Thuasne night splint is the largest night splint that ProBrace sells. This brace is really only suitable for people who sleep on their back or side. The big advantage of this model is the size. The pressure is evenly distributed over the entire calf and foot plate. This splint is particularly suitable for those who are quickly sensitive to pressure and / or who quickly develop muscle cramps.

Remedy the complaints during the day?

Do you also suffer from a heel spur during the day? A support sole or a gel heel can help you to reduce the complaints during the day. They do not solve the problem for you, but they do ease the pain. The body will have to resolve the heel spur complaint itself. The body does this at rest, at night. Hence, the night splints can solve the problem in the longer term:

• Heel spur soles
• Gel heels
• Viscospot
