Medial tibial stress syndrome, more commonly referred to as “shin splints,” is probably the most universallyknown running injury.

This injury has halted most runners at some point and while it is possible to train through it, you should take the pain seriously. If you continue to run on shin splints, especially when it hurts in a very specific area, it has the potential to develop into a tibial stress fracture, which requires up to six weeks of no running.

Today we are going to look at what causes shin splint and how to prevent the injury from getting worse (without stopping running).

We’ll provide research backed treatment options for shin splints including, both a conservative and aggressive approach.

Finally, if you are forced to stop running, we’ll advise you how to safely resume training while avoiding the dreaded return shin splints.
