Shin Splints
Shin splints are pain to either side of the leg bone, caused by muscle or tendon inflammation. It is commonly related to a collapsing arch, but 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 shin splints. |
