Shin Splints Treatment Hazelwood Park

Shin Splints Hazelwood Park

Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)

  • Are you experiencing sharp pain along the inside of your shin? 
  • Does it worsen 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? 

At SA Running Injury Clinic, Shin Pain is one of the top 5 injuries we frequently treat, particularly among 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. 

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 – particularly on hard surfaces like asphalt roads or during pre-season on hardened grounds 
  • A rapid increase in run intensity or duration after a period of little training 

Shin Splints Injury Hazelwood Park

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. 

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.
