Expert care to reduce pain, improve mobility, and keep you moving without limits.
ABOUT
Shin Splints. Uncovered.
Shin splints, medically known as medial tibial stress syndrome, occur when the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue around the shinbone become inflamed. Often caused by overuse, poor footwear, or improper training techniques, shin splints can make walking, running, or even standing painful.
Sharp or Dull Pain
Aching or stabbing pain along the inner edge of the shinbone, particularly during or after physical activity.
Tenderness and Swelling
Soreness or mild swelling along the lower leg, often sensitive to touch.
Difficulty Exercising
Pain that worsens with physical activity and improves with rest.
Get Back on Track. Our treatments for shin splints are designed to relieve pain, promote healing, and improve movement for long-term results.
