Shin Splints
Shin Splints
Shin splints are defined as pain to either side of the leg bone, caused by muscle or tendon inflammation. The condition is commonly related to a collapsing arch, but it may be related to a muscle imbalance between opposing muscle groups in the leg.
​
Proper stretching and corrective shoes or shoe inserts for pronation can help prevent and relieve the pain of shin splints.
​
Progressive Podiatry is an ideal choice for both prevention and treatments. To learn more about Progressive Podiatry, or to schedule a consultation with a specialist, please call (859) 331-2440.
