Shin Pain

Here at NK Active we see a lot of patients experiencing pain in their shins. This commonly gets the term ‘shin splint’, which is overall description of shin pain. The bones and muscles that run down the front of your lower legs, are usually aggravated by exercise. It’s common among individuals who do a lot of running or other activities, such as squash or basketball.

It’s important not to run through the pain and come and see us early, otherwise the issue can get worse resulting in a longer period of rehabilitation before return to activity.

Diagnosing shin pain

We understand how painful shin pain can be, particularly after exercise. It often starts when people are getting back into exercise or when you suddenly increase the distance or pace of your running. It can be caused by wearing poorly fitting trainers that don’t cushion and support your feet in the right way. Other times it’s triggered by having flat feet, feet that roll inwards (pronation) or tight calf muscles, weak ankles or tight Achilles tendon.

We offer a wide range of treatments, including supportive inserts for your shoes (orthotics) to reduce the pressure on your shins. With shin pain, it’s important to plan your return to regular activity and build it up gradually – don’t do too much, too soon.
