Shin Splints Treatment Klemzig
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?
- Do you feel an ache the next morning or when you cool down?
- Is there tenderness when you touch the inside of your shin?
Shin Pain is among the top 5 most common injuries at SA Running Injury Clinic, predominantly affecting runners and footballers.
Studies show that the condition results from the muscles pulling on their attachment to the shin bone, causing inflammation where the muscle meets the bone.
This condition is triggered 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 – on hard surfaces (asphalt roads) or pre-season on hardened grounds
- Sudden increase in intensity or duration of runs after not doing much 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.
