What is the Strassburg Sock?

Plantar Faciitis is an inflammation of the fibrous tissue, called the plantar fascia, which runs along the bottom of your foot and connects the heel (calcaneus) to the toes (metatarsals). Normally Plantar Faciitis is initially felt as a sharp pain in your heel when you first try to take steps in the morning.

The Strassburg Sock is designed to keep tension on the tissue (plantar fascia) so it heals in a stretched position at night. The Sock holds the ankle and forefoot joints in a position of slight dorsiflexion that prevents a position of plantarflexion, that is the plantar fascia is not allowed to contract. In addition to healing your immediate foot pain, the involuntary stretching of the plantar fascia over a long period of time helps to strengthen the foot's arch thus preventing future injury.

The Strassburg Sock device consists of a tubular knit material (ie a sock) that fits over the calf with two 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.

The Strassburg Sock is a patented treatment with medical research to support its effectiveness.
