What are Shin Splints?

Shin Splints, also known as Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, is a common overuse injury that causes pain along the inner edge of the shinbone (tibia). Shin splints often occur in runners, athletes, and those who increase physical activity too quickly. Symptoms include a dull ache or sharp pain in the shins, which can worsen with activity and may include tenderness or swelling. With appropriate treatment, you can relieve pain, prevent further strain, and get back to your active lifestyle.

Are You Struggling with Shin Pain Due to Shin Splints?

Living with shin splints can make activities like running, walking, or even standing uncomfortable and challenging. You may feel limited by the pain in your shins, unsure how to find effective relief and prevent recurrence. With a comprehensive approach to care, you can manage symptoms, strengthen your lower legs, and return to your favourite activities.

Shin Splints Can Be Frustrating – But Relief is Achievable

Shin splints bring their own set of challenges:

  • Physical Limitations: Pain and tenderness along the shin that interfere with physical activity and may limit daily movement.
  • Emotional Impact: Frustration from restricted exercise, concerns about recurring pain, and a desire for long-term relief.
  • Fairness: Everyone deserves access to supportive care that helps them manage shin pain, prevent re-injury, and regain confidence in their movement.
