How to fix shin splints fast!
Experiencing shin splints? Don’t let this common runner’s ailment slow you down. At our Liverpool-based clinic, we understand the unique challenges faced by runners, particularly the dreaded shin splints. This discomfort, officially known as medial tibial stress syndrome, typically results from excessive forces exerted on the shinbone and the tissues attaching the muscles to the bone, leading to pain that can be sharp or throbbing and generally worsens with activity.
Focused Shockwave Therapy: A Non-Invasive Solution Our clinic is at the forefront of adopting innovative non-invasive therapies to tackle painful conditions like shin splints. Focused shockwave therapy has proven exceptionally effective not only in treating shin splints but also in accelerating the healing process for various bone stress injuries. This method targets the site of injury directly, utilising clinical focusing techniques to pinpoint areas of maximum pain without the need for anaesthesia.
Research-Backed Effectiveness The effectiveness of focused shockwave therapy in treating bone stress injuries, including shin splints, is supported by substantial research. A significant study by Beling et al (2023) highlighted the success of this treatment among runners. The study reviewed the medical records of 40 runners who received focused shockwave therapy for a bone stress injury, showing that 98% of the runners were able to return to running pain-free. The research underscores the therapy’s potential to reduce recovery time and enhance overall treatment outcomes.
