FAQ: Why is morning heel pain so severe in plantar fasciitis?

During sleep, the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon contract to their shortest resting length as the foot points slightly downward. The first steps of the morning suddenly stretch this contracted tissue, causing intense pain. A night splint holds the foot at 90 degrees during sleep - keeping the plantar fascia in a gently stretched position so morning steps do not cause the sudden stretch that triggers pain.

FAQ: How long should I wear the Mueller Night Support before seeing results?

Most people notice reduction in morning heel pain within 2-4 weeks of consistent nightly use. Night splints are most effective when combined with daytime stretching, supportive footwear and orthotics. Improvement may take 6-8 weeks for full effect. Continue use until morning pain resolves consistently - discuss ongoing management with a physiotherapist.
