Have Foot/Heel Pain?

Does it feel like you have a knife stuck in your heel when you wake up and try to take a step? You also might have tight calves? Achilles tendon hurt? It’s most likely plantar fasciitis. The bad news is, if you don’t do something about this now, it might cause more serious problems in the future. The good news is there is a simple and inexpensive, at home treatment called “the Strassburg Sock” which will readily treat your symptoms and cure all of the above mentioned injuries.

What Is The Strassburg Sock?

The device simply consists of a tightly knit, knee high sock with an adjustable strap that connects your knee to your toes. Thus the sock maintains the foot in a neutral to slightly stretched position. Wear the sock at night and the sock will apply a force which results in the reduction and/or elimination of the pain currently caused by your plantar fasciitis flare up.

Sounds almost too simple, but with this design what the sock is actually doing is keeping tension on the tissue in the underside of your heel (the plantar fascia) so it heals in a stretched position at night, while you sleep. While the previous way of doing things was just to wear a “hard brace or cast”, the advantage of this new type of “soft” plantar fasciitis splint is that the ankle is NOT sheltered into position as it is with the more mechanical type of support (ie a rigid brace). Thus you don’t prevent your ankles natural movement and don’t have the side effects of “ankle stiffness” as you would with these other treatments.

Also it is much easier to sleep with the soft, cotton, comfortable sock than a rigid, heavy, sharp brace. If worn as recommended, the sock will not restrict your normal sleep patterns or provide any other restrictions to your normal routine. The sock is recommended by fitness authors such as Holly P. Kingston.

Even better news is that in addition to healing your immediate foot pain, the constant stretching of the plantar fascia over a long period of time helps to strengthen the foot’s arch thus preventing future injury. So it is recommended to wear the sock at the first signs of pain as a preventative measure.

Does It Work

The Strassburg Sock is a patented treatment supported by medical research. Most users feel better after just one use, though it takes continuous use to completely cure the injury. Also, many have found this eliminates their need for other medications, like pain relief pills.

This easy to use, low cost splint is calculated to maintain tension on the tissue, the plantar fascia, and let it heal in a stretched position while you sleep without any discomfort or side effects like other treatments. The Strassburg sock is such an efficient treatment method because the results are observable very quickly. You should see improvement after just one night!
