Shin Splint Recovery Plan
Known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) in medical parlance this shin splint refers to lower leg pain. Do you have pain on the front and outside of the shin when your heel touches the ground during running? Eventually pain becomes constant and the shin becomes painful to touch. This is one of the symptoms of shin splints and it is called tibialis anterior. Don't worry, by doing muscle strengthening exercises you can get rid of this condition in 3 days.
Shin splint recovery plan is to be based on understanding, identifying and treating the underlying problems. Correct diagnosis will be helpful in choosing the appropriate treatment which will automatically lead to quick and permanent recovery. Symptoms of shin splint arise from causes like Tendinitis, stress fractures, compartment syndrome, excessive training, poor technique or biomechanical problems, standing for long periods and wearing high heeled shoes
Patient history, physical examination, radiology, measuring the pressure within the compartments, magnetic resonance imaging and high resolution x-ray computed tomography scans are the techniques in diagnosis. To begin with rest, ice, non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs and physiotherapy are used as treatment for shin splint. Duration and intensity of exercises of the sufferer should be reduced. Special footwear and low energy extra corporal shockwave therapy are useful in quick recovery
Exercises like, toe raises, calf raises and inner and outer thigh raises enable speedy recovery. For doing calf raises, stand on a stair so that your heels are just hanging off it. Contract your calves and rise up slowly until you are in fully fixed position with the body raised up off the step as possible. Pause, then lower back to the start to complete the rep. This can be done with weight or without weight.
Shin Splint Exercises will strengthen all the muscles concerned & the disease will be disappeared.
