Why Do My Shins Constantly Hurt?

According to Scottsdale’s top doctor, Mark Forman, DPM, MBA, FAPWCA, shin splints occur when the muscles and tendon around the tibia (bone in the lower part of the leg beneath the knee) is inflamed. Inflammation occurs when the muscles are overused and not stretched properly. Additionally, when changing your training routines or exercise, it can trigger inflammation.

Fortunately, shin splints are very treatable. Our well-trained team in our Scottsdale office, Put Your Feet First, can offer several remedies to combat and prevent this debilitating syndrome from occurring.
