What Is a Bunion Night Splint?
A bunion night splint is a device which fits over the foot and is used to ease pain related to bunions as well as to correct the bone structure of the foot. Generally it is to be worn overnight for as long as symptoms persist or until further treatment is advised. The use of a bunion night splint is typically more effective in children and adolescents than in adults because their bones are more malleable and more easily molded. Splints may offer some level of success in treating bunions in adults, although they are more for pain management than for bone correction at this age group.
