What Are Shin Splints?
This is a common overuse injury which involves a throbbing pain in the front part of the lower leg or shin. This pain often gets sharper and more intense after exercise or running activities.
Understanding the symptoms and causes of shin splints can help individuals in taking better care of their feet.
Sudden changes to your routine, such as increasing the intensity of your workouts, or excessive walking, can put lots of strain on your leg muscles, making them vulnerable to shin splints.
A flatfoot posture also increases the likelihood of developing this condition because of the added stress on the muscles of the lower leg during movement.
