If you are experiencing pain along or just behind your shin bone during or after dance class, you may be suffering from shin splints. Shin splints are caused by too much forced being placed on your shinbone and connective tissues that attach your muscles to the bone. Other symptoms of shin splints include mild swelling in your lower leg and tenderness or soreness along the inner part of your lower leg.
You should see a doctor for your shin splints if...
- Severe pain in your shin follow an accident
- Your Shin is Hot and Inflamed
- Swelling worsens
- Pain persists during rest
Home remedies for shin splints include rest, ice, elevation, over the counter pain reliever, arch supports, and properly fitted shoes. You may also want to consider the Cho-Pat Shin Splint Compression Sleeve. The sleeve provides gentle compression forces while firmly supporting the lower leg muscles and soft tissue. The sleeve also tends to stimulate circulation and maintain warmth which controls fluid build-up. Two foam core straps act as shock absorbers reducing micro trauma to the tendons and other soft tissue and help maintain the device in proper position. Use the compression sleeve to provide effective relief. The sleeve is available through our
online product store.
