SHIN SPLINTS
(Shin Pain)
Shin
Splints is a common term for pain or inflammation in the front and/or
inside section of the tibia.
The patient
will complain of tightness/tenderness and sometimes throbbing pain
along the the tibia that comes on with a specific activity
(especially running) and often settles upon resting. Often, it will
start like a dull ache but quickly becomes sharper and more aggravated.
Anterior
tibial stress (shin splints) is often experienced by new runners or
walkers when pain occurs in the anterior muscles of the shin during
exercise. Posterior shin splints (medial tibial pain) is a more
chronic condition occurring along the inside edge of the tibia and
generally occurs with over-use related sports. Both conditions are
related to excess stretching (traction) of soft tissue structures
along the shin bones (tibia and fibula).
Excessive
subtalar joint pronation and internal tibial rotation increase the
medial tractional forces upon the deep flexors and extensors of the
leg. This is a common factor in muscular overuse conditions and
commonly exhibits secondary periosteal swelling due to tractional
forces placed upon the soft tissue structures on the tibia and fibula.
Treatment
of this condition initially involves rest, ice therapy,
anti-inflammatory medications and taping. Soft tissue therapy and
stretching and strengthening exercises will help loosen the tight
structures. In conjunction to these treatments, Sports control
orthotics are the most effective means of treating this condition.
Exercises:
•
Stretching & strengthening of tibial muscles - sit on a chair and
loop a weight
around the ankle. Keep the leg straight and lift the foot up and
down from the ankle.
• Calf
muscle stretching.

Applied
topically at home Biofreeze can help reduce aches and pains commonly
found in the lower back, neck, shoulder, knee, hip, as well as ankle,
elbow and wrist joints. The result is a deep, long lasting pain
relief period and acceleration of the basic healing process through
relaxation of stiff aching muscles (reports of up to 6 hours).
Biofreeze is the only analgesic with ILEX, a herbal extract from a
South American holly shrub. |
