Do you feel pain when you press your shin bone and do you feel a generalized ache in the lower leg on exercise and does the pain become severe during sporting activity and subside when resting? Don't lose heart, as there are natural shin splint remedies which help you get rid of this condition forever.
In addition to bony shin splints, there are other symptoms like tibial anterior and tibial posterior which arise from causes such as tendinitis, stress fractures, compartment syndrome, high impact training, excessive training, poor technique or biomechanical problems, standing for long periods and wearing high heeled shoes.
Appropriate treatment is possible only by doing correct diagnosis. Taking patient history, physical examination, radiology, measuring the pressure within the compartments, magnetic resonance imaging and high-resolution x-ray computed tomography scans are done to diagnose shin splints.
There are natural remedies like rest, ice, stretching the muscles and decreasing the duration and intensity of exercise and building it up slowly. Shin splint exercises such as toe raises, calf raises and inner and outer thigh raises are also useful in speedy and permanent recovery.
Any injury requires sufficient time to heal and so rest to allow the injury to heal. The sufferer may apply ice in the early stages, particularly when it is not painful. Stretch the muscles of the lower leg to get rid of tibialis posterior which is associated with shin splints. Wear specially fitted shoes and do professionally designed training programs to bid farewell to this condition.
