Understanding and Managing Shin Splints and Shin Pain

At Healthy Steps Foot Clinic, we understand that shin pain and shin splints can hinder your daily activities and athletic performance. We are committed to providing expert care and personalised solutions for shin pain and shin splints.

Assessment and Diagnosis

Shin pain can result from various factors, including overuse, improper footwear, biomechanical issues, and more. Our experienced podiatrist will conduct a thorough assessment to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of your shin pain or shin splints.

Individualized Treatment Plans

Based on your diagnosis, we'll develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This may include a combination of approaches such as rest, ice, physical therapy exercises, custom orthotics, footwear recommendations, and biomechanical adjustments.

Gait Analysis and Biomechanical Assessment

Our clinic is equipped with advanced technologies for gait analysis and biomechanical assessments. This allows us to identify any abnormalities in your gait or foot structure that might be contributing to your shin pain. By addressing these factors, we can help alleviate your discomfort.

Education and Prevention

Beyond treatment, we'll educate you about preventive measures to avoid future instances of shin pain or shin splints. We'll provide guidance on proper warm-up techniques, appropriate footwear, and exercises to maintain lower leg strength.
