Shin Splints Treatment Glenside
Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Do you feel a sharp pain on the inner part of your shin?
- Is the pain aggravated during and/or after a run or sport?
- 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 Pain is among the top 5 most common injuries at SA Running Injury Clinic, predominantly affecting 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 inflammation is caused by:
- Poor foot posture – excessive pronation (rolling inward) results in greater muscle pull against the shin, while excessive supination (rigid foot type) exerts more force on the shin bone
- Running – especially on hard surfaces (e.g., asphalt roads) or pre-season on hardened grounds
- A sudden increase in the intensity or length of runs after limited 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.
