Shin Pain

A shin splint or general shin pain is the most common cause of exercise-induced leg pain encountered by athletes of all levels. In the past the term shin splint has been used to describe all forms of pain in the lower leg. A shin splint is a very specific problem. It is essentially an inflammatory reaction involving the deep tissues of the lower leg and may involve tendons & muscles. Specifically the tibialis anterior muscle and tendon. The inflammatory reaction occurs at the point where the deep tissues insert into the inside (medial) or front (anterior) aspect of the leg bone (tibia).

When a patient is suffering from a medial shin splint the pain will be present on the inner aspect of the leg. In an anterior shin splint, pain and tenderness is present on the front and outer aspect of the leg. In both cases, running and walking may be extremely painful. In severe cases, even light weight bearing may be painful. The primary cause of shin pain is over pronation. This can be controlled via insoles.

Testimonials

"I love the Dr Foot Sports Insoles! I am an avid runner, with over-pronation and a family history of foot and leg pain. The Dr Foot Sports Insoles make running possible for me. I've tried many other insoles and none of them work as well as Dr Foot. I'm currently training for my second marathon, and my Dr. Foot Sports Insoles are protecting me from injury. Thank you!"

"Service was easy and safe via the website. My order arrived within a few days and to my surprise the insoles actually helped my shin splints condition tremendously. I had almost given up all hope of trying to find something to ease the pain until I found your website."

"Hello! I started using the Dr Foot Sports Insoles when they were introduced to me by Mr Gardiner (my former chiropodist) before he moved. Once I began wearing them my shin splints settled down, I felt better jogging and now I have them in all of my shoes. I have bought six pair of them to date. I have a pair in my workout shoes, work shoes, yard work boots, etc. Somehow the Dr Foot Sports Insoles have also kept my feet, back and legs from getting tired as quick during physical activity and have greatly decreased my overall soreness after workouts, thanks again"
