Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)

Shin splints, or medial tibial stress syndrome, is a common condition among runners and athletes that causes pain along the inner edge of the shinbone (tibia). it is often the result of overuse, repetitive impact, or biomechanical issues, leading to inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue. factors such as poor foot biomechanics, improper footwear, sudden increases in training intensity, or weak lower limb muscles can contribute to the condition.

If left untreated, shin splints can worsen, leading to chronic pain and potential stress fractures, making it difficult to continue training or everyday activities.

At The Foot Room, we assess and treat shin splints through our biomechanical pathway, using advanced gait analysis to identify movement patterns contributing to the issue. Our tailored treatment plans may include custom orthotics, footwear recommendations, strength and mobility exercises, running technique adjustments, and rehabilitation strategies to reduce pain, prevent recurrence, and support long-term performance. Whether you’re a recreational runner or a competitive athlete, we can help you recover and get back to your sport.
