Best Ways to Treat Shin Splints: A Review of Literature

Franklin Rop

Abstract: Shin splints, a common lower leg injury, can be debilitating not only for athletes, but anyone who engages in excessive strain during exercise. This literature review explores various approaches to treating shin splints and provides insights into the underlying causes of the condition. The review begins by discussing the importance of understanding lower extremity injuries and their impact on performance. It then delves into studies that examine the effects of shoe therapy on lower extremity injuries, highlighting different types of shoes and modifications used to reduce impact forces during running. The review further focuses on shin splint-specific research, which includes defining the condition, measuring forces exerted on the shin during running, and exploring treatment effectiveness through surveys and professional opinions.
