Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)

  • Is there a sharp pain on the inner side of your shin? 
  • Is the pain aggravated during and/or after a run or sport? 
  • Is there an ache the morning after or when you cool down? 
  • Is there tenderness when you touch the inside of your shin? 

Shin splints pain in Adelaide is among the top 5 most common injuries at SA Running Injury Clinic, predominantly affecting runners and footballers. 

Current research indicates it is caused by the pulling of the muscles along their attachment to the shin bone causing inflammation at the junction of the muscle and bone. 

This 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 – especially on hard surfaces (e.g., asphalt roads) or pre-season on hardened grounds 
  • Sudden increase in intensity or duration of runs after not doing much training 

Shin Splints Injury Norwood

Shin pain can be a serious problem for you and can put you months behind in your training. It’s a nasty condition and one that needs to be treated fast once it presents or ideally prevented in the first place. 

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.
