Shin Pain

Shin pain is one of the more common complaints in runners or hikers. These are conditions where stress if being placed on the Tibia and causing pain in the shin area. This is usually a result of bad shoes/no foot support/improper socks and the list can go on and on. It is important to get an x-ray when having shin pain to r/o fracture or stress fracture. Often times modifying the shoe and exercise routine, with some support can help relieve this pain. Call the office today if you are having pain for an initial evaluation.
