Shin Splints Treatment Collinswood
Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Do you feel a sharp pain on the inner part of your shin?
- Does it worsen during and/or after a run or sport?
- Ache the following morning or when you cool down?
- Does the site on the inner shin feel tender to touch?
At SA Running Injury Clinic, Shin Pain is one of the top 5 injuries we frequently treat, particularly among runners and footballers.
Recent research points to the pulling of muscles at their attachment to the shin bone as the cause, resulting in inflammation at the muscle and bone junction.
This condition is triggered by:
- Poor foot posture – excessive pronation (rolling inward) leads to more muscle pull on the shin, while excessive supination (rigid foot type) places greater force on the shin bone itself
- Running – particularly on hard surfaces like asphalt roads or during pre-season on hardened grounds
- A sudden increase in the intensity or length of runs after limited training
Shin pain can be a significant issue, potentially setting your training back by months. It’s a troublesome condition that requires prompt treatment once it appears, or better yet, 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.
