The bottom of the foot and heel is the usual place where Plantar Fasciitis occurs. This problem is caused by inflammation in a group of tissues known as plantar fascia that connects heel bone with toes. Symptoms include pain in the heel which makes it difficult to move, especially in the morning or after long periods of rest such as sitting or standing. Night socks refer to special kinds of socks that are worn while sleeping so as to relieve symptoms associated with plantar fasciitis. The socks stretch both calves muscles and also plantar fascia thereby relieving pain and stiffness caused by this condition. Strassburg Socks are a certain type of night sock designed specifically for treating plantar fasciitis; they work by gently stretching calf muscle (during sleep) which eventually helps in reducing pains and increasing flexibility.
