Addressing Your Lower Leg Pain
Understanding Shin Splints
Shin splints, medically known as medial tibial stress syndrome, are a common condition characterized by pain along the inner edge of the shinbone (tibia). This condition often affects runners, dancers, and military recruits, causing significant discomfort and limiting physical activities. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, shin splints are typically caused by repetitive stress on the shinbone and the connective tissues that attach muscles to the bone. The American Physical Therapy Association emphasizes that early intervention and a comprehensive treatment approach can effectively manage shin splint symptoms and prevent recurrence.
At Health and Fitness Professionals in Woodbridge, NJ, we offer a range of evidence-based treatments—including physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and occupational therapy—to address your shin splint pain.
