Shin Splints Treatment Linden Park
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?
- 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.
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.
The source of this inflammation is:
- Poor foot posture – excessive pronation (rolling inward) leads to more muscle pull on the shin, while excessive supination (rigid foot type) places greater force on the shin bone itself
- Running – on hard surfaces (asphalt roads) or pre-season on hardened grounds
- A rapid increase in run intensity or duration after a period of little 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.
Often our patients report they are running for a few kilometres or hit half time and they can’t keep going anymore. It is a major issue and will ruin your training plans if you don’t act early.
