Stretching can help relieve the symptoms of heel pain over time. The problem is that patients do not stretch properly and often enough as directed, thus causing a delay in treatment response and lessening of pain. A night splint works better by allowing the muscles to stretch properly while you sleep, for a longer period of time, without a normal reaction of trying to push back against the stretch which happens when you are awake.
