What can i do to help prevent shin splints?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Balance exercise: The best way to prevent shin splints is to exercise the muscles of the calf as well as the front of your lower leg. Running shoes with lower heels, "bare foot" shoes, may be of benefit as well. Ice after exercise and resting one to two days a week may help as well.
