Shin Splints

I have provided several informational blogs at www.yourfootcareadvisor.blogspot.com I hope that this information benefits you. Dr. Vic McNamara




Shin splints refer to pain on either side of the leg bone that is caused by muscle or tendon inflammation. The problem is usually related to a collapsing arch, but may be caused by a muscle imbalance between opposing muscle groups in the leg.

Proper stretching before and after exercise and sports, corrective shoes, or orthotics (corrective shoe inserts) can help prevent shin splints.
