Shin Splints
Shin splints, medically known as medial tibial stress syndrome, is a common overuse injury experienced by runners, dancers, and military recruits. It involves pain along the shin bone caused by inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue. Without proper treatment, it can progress to stress fractures.
At Actilife, we identify the underlying factors contributing to your shin pain through a thorough biomechanical assessment. Our treatment includes activity modification, manual therapy, specific strengthening exercises, and gradual return to your sport.
