It's funny I noticed a lot of players in the playoffs wearing the phiten titanium necklaces. Even some of the photos on this website show players wearing the necklaces.

I wonder if that really works? (Physically or psychologically?)

What I can say is that I have to work all day on my feet, sometimes up to 16-20 hours of all standing and doing very physical work. I'm gettin' up there now in age, just turned 46 a few days ago, and I had been having trouble when I sleep and in the mornings after a long stretch with leg cramps that wake me up at night in my calves and sore ankles and stiffness in the mornings. I bought a few titanium sleeves that Jeter and Swisher wear and put them over my calves and ankles like socks. No more pain. I was very skeptical at first but as I said to my boy, if it's good enough for DJ, I'll try it. I can say that they have helped a lot. I now wear them whenever I have a stretch over 10 hours ahead of me, and I haven't had the nighttime leg cramps or the soreness and stiffness in the mornings after. Try it out, I'd like to know if it's psychosomatic. And yes the sleeves are phiten.
