Shin Splints Treatment Goodwood
Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Are you experiencing sharp pain along the inside 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?
- Is the inside of your shin tender to touch?
At the SA Running Injury Clinic, Shin Pain is in the top 5 most common injuries we see. It is most common in 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.
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 running intensity or duration following a period of minimal 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.
Many of our patients mention that after running a few kilometres or reaching half time, they can't continue. This is a significant problem that will disrupt your training plans if not addressed early.
