Shin Splints Treatment Glenside
Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Is there a sharp pain on the inner side of your shin?
- Does it intensify while running or playing sports?
- Do you feel an ache the next morning or when you cool down?
- Does the site on the inner shin feel tender to touch?
Shin splints pain in Adelaide is among the top 5 most common injuries at SA Running Injury Clinic, predominantly affecting runners and footballers.
Studies show that the condition results from the muscles pulling on their attachment to the shin bone, causing inflammation where the muscle meets the bone.
The inflammation is caused by:
- Poor foot posture – excessive pronation (rolling in) causes more pulling of the muscles against the shin, while excessive supination (rigid foot type) causes more force on the shin bone itself
- Running – on hard surfaces such as asphalt roads, or pre-season on hardened grounds
- Sudden increase in running intensity or duration following a period of minimal training
Shin pain can cause serious setbacks in your training, potentially putting you months behind. It’s a troublesome issue that needs immediate treatment once it appears, or even better, prevention.
Patients often report that after a few kilometres of running or reaching half time, they can't go on. This major issue will compromise your training plans if you don't act promptly.
