Shin Splints Treatment Myrtle Bank
Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Do you experience a sharp pain on the inside of the shin?
- Is the pain aggravated during and/or after a run or sport?
- Ache the following morning or when you cool down?
- Does the site on the inner shin feel tender to touch?
Shin Pain is among the top 5 most common injuries at SA Running Injury Clinic, predominantly affecting runners and footballers.
Research suggests that it is due to the muscles pulling at their attachment to the shin bone, leading to inflammation at the muscle-bone junction.
This condition is triggered by:
- Poor foot posture – excessive pronation (rolling in) causes more pulling of the muscles against the shin, while excessive supination (rigid foot type) causes more force on the shin bone itself
- Running – especially on hard surfaces (e.g., 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.
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.
