Strassburg Sock
The Strassburg Sock is an easy to use, inexpensive device designed to keep tension on the tissue (plantar fascia) so it heals in a stretched position at night. In this way many users find a reduction of their morning pain, some have noticed a reduced recovery time and yet others have reduced the need for medications. The device consists of a tubular knit material that fits "over the calf" with 2 attached adjustable straps to maintain the foot in a neutral to slightly stretched position. When worn at night the device will apply a force which results in the reduction and/or elimination of the pain felt during those first steps in the morning.

Details
- How does the Strassburg Sock work?
- When worn as prescribed, it does not allow the plantar fascia to contract while in the prone or supine position. The device holds the ankle and forefoot joints in a position of slight dorsiflexion that prevents a position of plantar flexion, that is the plantar fascia is not allowed to contract.
- In addition the involuntary stretching of the plantar fascia over a long period of time helps to strengthen the foot's arch.
- What are the advantages of the Strassburg Sock?
- Very easy to use.
- Can be safely worn for several hours without adverse effect when applied properly.
- Can be worn to bed, provides no significant restrictions and will not interrupt normal sleep if worn as directed.
- Can reduce/eliminate the pain experienced with the first morning steps.
- Can, over a period of time, strengthen the arch of the foot.
- Can supplement and not interfere with the various traditional doctor's treatment.
- Does not lock the ankle joint into any one position thus allowing some movement between the various joints preventing possible joint compression pain.
- An effective device providing low cost relief of heel spur symptoms.
