Shin Splints Treatment Highgate
Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Are you experiencing sharp pain along the inside of your shin?
- Does it intensify while running or playing sports?
- Do you feel an ache the next morning or when you cool down?
- Is the inside of your shin 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.
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.
This condition is triggered by:
- 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 – on hard surfaces (asphalt roads) or pre-season on hardened grounds
- A sudden increase in the intensity or length of runs after limited training
Shin pain can severely impact your training, delaying progress by months. This unpleasant condition needs to be addressed quickly upon onset, or ideally, prevented altogether.
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.
