LOWER LEG

Shin splints

Pain along the inner shin associated with repetitive activity.

Understanding activity-related shin pain

Shin splints, often called medial tibial stress syndrome, describes pain along the inner shin associated with repetitive loading. Other problems can feel similar, so persistent or changing shin pain deserves assessment.

What you might notice

  • Aching along the inner shin
  • Discomfort during impact activity
  • Tenderness along the lower leg

A conversation about your needs.

Describe changes in running volume, surfaces and footwear, and any previous assessment. Do not assume all shin pain is a soft-tissue problem.

What your visit looks like

The lower leg is accessible while you rest in a supported position. We discuss suitability before considering the radial treatment area.

We bring the equipment to you. A first visit reserves 30 minutes for consultation and treatment; follow-ups reserve 20 minutes.

Your next steps

A clinician should assess suspected bone stress injury before treatment. Your activity plan and response guide decisions about follow-up.

Suitability and results vary. This technician-provided service does not replace medical diagnosis or a rehabilitation plan.
