Can you suggest any remedies/treatments for shin splints?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest ...: 'shin splints' respond often to a definitive time of rest( usually from running...4-6 wks), nsaids and stretching exercises for your lower leg muscles/ tendons.Arch supports / foot orthotics can be helpful in some patients w/ anatomic problems. Bone scans are usually diagnostic if no improvement.Stress fractures and exertional compartment syndrome should be ruled out in chronic cases. Gl!
