Leg Injuries

Shin splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome) cause pain along the shinbone, common in athletes due to stress on leg muscles.

Shin splints stem from overuse, high-impact activities, improper footwear, and biomechanical factors, posing risks for athletes.

Diagnosing shin splints involves a physical exam, medical history review, and possibly imaging to assess pain and rule out other conditions.

Shin splints symptoms include pain along the shinbone, often affecting athletes due to muscle stress.

Shin splint treatment involves rest, ice, proper footwear, and a gradual return to activity, possibly with orthotics or physical therapy.

If non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment of chronic high hamstring tendinopathy is unsuccessful, surgical options can yield very good outcomes.

Surgery for shin splints is rare; treatments typically involve rest, rehabilitation, and lifestyle adjustments for effective recovery.

Chronic high hamstring tendinopathy symptoms appear during repetitive activities, including posterior pain, running discomfort, and sciatica.

Treatments for chronic high hamstring tendinopathy include rest, ice and heat therapy, stretching and strengthening exercises, and medication.
