Shin Splints Treatment Broadview
Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Do you experience a sharp pain on the inside of the shin?
- Is the pain aggravated during and/or after a run or sport?
- Ache the following morning or when you cool down?
- Is there tenderness when you touch the inside of your shin?
At SA Running Injury Clinic, Shin Pain is one of the top 5 injuries we frequently treat, particularly among runners and footballers.
Research suggests that it is due to the muscles pulling at their attachment to the shin bone, leading to inflammation at the muscle-bone junction.
The source of this inflammation is:
- Poor foot posture – excessive pronation (rolling inward) increases muscle pull against the shin, and excessive supination (rigid foot type) applies 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 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.
Our patients frequently tell us they can only run a few kilometres or reach half time before they have to stop. This is a serious issue that will derail your training plans unless you take action early.
