A guide to Chiropractors on the use of Night Splints in Plantar Fascitis

So, you have tried orthotics, advil and stretching for plantar fascitis or heel spur syndrome with little to no success with the patient.  If you are out of idea consider the use of a Night splint to help with the plantar fascitis.  Night Splints are inexpensive and occasionally covered by insurance.  The night splint holds the plantar fascitis at ninety degrees, thus relaxing the ligament and stretching the ligament to help with the discomfort.  These tend to have a great deal of success and there are multiple brands of plantar fascitis.  As said you can bill the insurance of the patient for 5-10 dollars over cost.
