A member asked:
What is the best way to prevent shin splints/shin pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Warm up, good shoes: Probably the best ways are stretching and warming up. Make sure your shoes are not worn out and you don't need orthotics for your feet. When you start to get pain along the shins try using ice massage on the area along with rest.
