Shin splints happen when repetitive stress is placed on the shinbone and surrounding tissues. Some of the most common causes include:

• Sudden increases in activity (like running longer distances or increasing intensity too quickly)
• Wearing unsupportive footwear, which fails to cushion and support your foot
• Flat feet or high arches, which can affect how your foot absorbs impact
• Training on hard surfaces, like pavement, which increases stress on your legs

If shin splints are making your feet hurt, the good news is that there are ways to relieve the pain and prevent it from coming back. Some of the most effective treatments include:

• Resting and modifying activity to give your muscles time to heal
• Icing the area to reduce swelling and discomfort
• Wearing supportive shoes or orthotics to keep your feet properly aligned
• Performing stretching and strengthening exercises to improve flexibility and stability in your lower legs and feet
• Beginning physical therapy to correct movement patterns and prevent future pain. Our Run Fit program can help address your gait and prevent future injuries, learn more from Brian Artmstrong, PT .
