Shin Splints Treatment Tusmore
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?
- Ache the following morning or when you cool down?
- Is the inside of your shin tender to touch?
Shin Pain is among the top 5 most common injuries at SA Running Injury Clinic, predominantly affecting runners and footballers.
Current research indicates it is caused by the pulling of the muscles along their attachment to the shin bone causing inflammation at the junction of the muscle and bone.
The inflammation is caused 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 – especially on hard surfaces (e.g., asphalt roads) or pre-season on hardened grounds
- Sudden increase in running intensity or duration following a period of minimal 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.
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.
