How do we treat
shin splints?

Physiotherapy and chiropractic care for shin splints starts with a thorough assessment to understand what’s causing the pain—whether it’s training overload, poor biomechanics, or tight muscles. From there, we create a tailored plan to relieve pain, improve lower limb function, and reduce the risk of recurrence. Common treatments include:

  • A person receives physical therapy, stretching arm; mirrored reflection.

    Soft Tissue Release

    Hands-on massage and release techniques target tight calf muscles, tibialis posterior, and surrounding fascia. This reduces tension on the shin and improves circulation to promote healing.

  • Close-up of acupuncture needles in a person's shoulder during treatment

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling helps release deep muscle tightness in the calves and lower leg. It’s especially useful when pain isn’t responding to stretching alone and can speed up recovery from overuse.

    Biomechanical Correction

    We assess how you move—from walking and running to squatting—and address any imbalances or poor mechanics contributing to your shin pain. This might include correcting foot posture or improving ankle mobility.

  • A woman doing a kneeling exercise with assistance from a trainer in a gym setting.

    Exercise Rehab

    You’ll follow a structured program to strengthen the calves, improve foot and ankle control, and support better shock absorption during activity. This helps prevent shin splints from coming back.

Shin Splints FAQ

  • Shin splints, or medial tibial stress syndrome, refer to pain along the inner edge of the shinbone. It’s commonly caused by overuse or stress on the lower leg muscles and bones.

  • They’re often caused by sudden increases in training load, poor footwear, flat feet or overpronation, tight calves, or running on hard surfaces.

  • Treatment focuses on relieving muscle tension, correcting biomechanics, improving mobility, and guiding you through rehab to prevent recurrence.

  • Most cases improve within 2–6 weeks with the right treatment and load management, though recovery can vary depending on severity and consistency with rehab.
