Shin Splints Treatment Norwood
Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Do you experience a sharp pain on the inside of the 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 it tender to touch at the site of the inside shin?
At SA Running Injury Clinic, Shin Pain is one of the top 5 injuries we frequently treat, particularly among 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.
The source of this inflammation is:
- 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 such as asphalt roads, or pre-season on hardened grounds
- A sudden increase in the intensity or length of runs after limited 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.
