When you experience an ankle sprain or broken ankle, a good medical walking boot is key to your recovery. They help protect your foot from further injury and allow you to walk and go about your daily activities. That’s why we recommend the Aircast XP Walking Brace.

The Aircast XP has a semi-rigid shell that protects the injured area the same way a cast does, without feeling as constricting. It’s a lot lighter than other walking boots, plus it’s low profile so you can walk with a natural gait. The bottom line is that it’s much more comfortable than other walking braces. What really makes the Aircast XP stand apart is its aircell support. These aircells support your ankle and provide compression to help reduce swelling and promote healing.

The Benefits of Plantar Fasciitis Night Splints

A few days ago we posted about plantar fasciitis, a condition that can cause pain on the bottom of the foot near the heel. One of the interesting things about this condition is that the pain is often worse in the morning. During sleep, the plantar fascia tightens up. When the patient steps out of bed in the morning, the pressure of body weight on this tightened ligament can make the pain particularly acute. Most of the time pain will decrease as the tissue warms up, though it can return if the ligament is overworked.

Luckily, there are a number of different plantar fasciitis night splints that help alleviate the pain that patients feel in the morning. These night splints help stretch the plantar fascia to promote healing while you sleep.

Here are some recommended plantar fasciitis night splints:

P.S. These night splints can also help with Achilles tendonitis!
