Shin Splints Treatment Thorngate

Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)

  • Do you feel a sharp pain on the inner part of your shin? 
  • Does it intensify while running or playing sports? 
  • Ache the following morning or when you cool down? 
  • Is there tenderness when you touch the inside of your shin? 

Shin Pain ranks among the top 5 injuries we encounter at the SA Running Injury Clinic. It is especially prevalent in runners and footballers. 

Recent research points to the pulling of muscles at their attachment to the shin bone as the cause, resulting in inflammation at the muscle and bone junction. 

This inflammation is caused 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 – 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 Splints Injury Thorngate

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.
