• STRAPPING AND SPLINTS

STRAPPING

Strapping, or taping, of the foot and ankle is an effective form of early treatment for many painful soft tissue injuries including plantar fasciitis, heel pain, shin splints, metatarsalgia, midfoot arthritis, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and many other foot issues. Strapping isn’t a long-term solution but it can relieve symptoms and alleviate pain, allowing your injury to heal faster. Benefits of strapping:

  • Relieve pain
  • Improve joint stability
  • Enhance athlete confidence
  • Reduce injury recurrence
  • Prevent injury

SPLINTING

Splints are medical devices that are worn on the foot or ankle to improve or maintain flexibility and to correct or prevent gait deviations. Splints may also help to immobilize a foot injury and provide rest while an injury heals. Some splints are designed to be worn overnight, providing a sustained stretch on soft tissues and tight muscles. Splints and braces often have extra padding to protect sensitive areas or outfitted with special hinges to help your ankle bend.
