Shin splints refer to a pain and tenderness felt along the inner edge of the shin bone, also known as the tibia. This is the large bone at the front of your lower leg. Shin Splin is medically known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) and it is a common overuse injury that affects mainly the runners, the dancers, gym-goers especially during periods of intensified or repetitive training.
Where does Shin splints and tibial pain come from?
The pain from shin splints comes from an increase of stress on the muscles, the tendons and the bone tissue around the tibia. It flares up during or after high-impact activities like running, jumping or dancing and it is mostly noticeable during the early stages of a new training program or when your training loads increase too fast.
What is the Cause of Shin Splits (Tibial pain) ?
The most common cause is the repeated pounding and strain on the lower legs that causes inflammation and so give you tibial pain.
