Shin pain is prevalent amongst athletes who do a lot of running or impact activities. It can be a result of excess stress to either the bones or muscles or a result of poor lower limb biomechanics. It is very important to get an accurate diagnosis of these injuries as the management can vary quite significantly. A Physiotherapist will be able to assist you with this, and will refer you to a Sports Doctor, Podiatrist or Masseur if they feel it is necessary.
All of the Physiotherapists at The Melbourne Sports Medicine Centre are able to assist in the management of shin pain.
