Shin Splints Treatment Wayville
Shin Splints Pain (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
- Are you experiencing sharp pain along the inside of your shin?
- Does it intensify while running or playing sports?
- Does it ache the next morning or after 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.
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) increases muscle pull against the shin, and excessive supination (rigid foot type) applies more force on the shin bone itself
- Running – particularly on hard surfaces like asphalt roads or during pre-season on hardened grounds
- Sudden increase in intensity or duration of runs after not doing much 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.
