	Shin Splints
		Shin splints, stress fractures, and chronic compartment syndrome have a common mechanism of development.
		The term shin splints refers to a painful condition that develops along the inside (medial edge) of the shin (tibia).
		In the early stage of shin splints a runner will describe a pain that is present when the training run first begins, but then disappears as running continues.

	Shin splints - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cause of shin splints is usually overused muscle, either an acute injury or DOMS (delayed-onset muscle soreness).
		The purpose of the muscles of the anterior shin is to dorsiflex the foot (raise the toe).
		The shin pain is attributed to a forced extension of the muscle, in this case by the opposing calf muscles which "overpower" the shin.

		Shin splints are an overuse injury which occur most frequently in unconditioned or poorly conditioned athletes who begin a new running or jumping activity.
		Shin splints also occur frequently in runners who alter their workouts by increasing pace, frequency, or distance too rapidly.
		Shin splints are classified according to the severity of the pain produced.

	Shin Splints
		Shin splints involve damage to one of two groups of muscles along the shin bone that cause pain.
		The pain of shin splints is most often located on the outer edge of the mid region of the leg next to the shin bone (tibia).
		Shin splints may also be caused by standing for a long time or repetitive stress to the lower leg.

	Shin Splints \| Caremark Health Resources
		Shin splints are a classic overuse injury, meaning they usually occur when people push their legs too hard for too long.
		According to the report, shin splints are especially common in novice runners and, at the other end of the spectrum, competitive runners.
		Shin splints are likely to occur when runners start to increase their mileage -- say, from one or two miles a day to three or four miles a day.

	Shin Splints
		Shin splints are characterized by a pain in the front and sides of the lower leg that develops or worsens during exercise.
		Shin splints may be caused by various disorders, including compartment syndrome (buildup of pressure in a muscle as a result of exercise), tendinitis (inflammation of a tendon), myositis (inflammation of a muscle), a muscle tear or periostitis (inflammation of the outer layer of a bone).
		Shin splints (an inflammation of tendons and muscles of the shin) is typically brought on by the impact forces of exercise.

		At that time it was felt that the pain along the shin bone was due to one of the muslces pulling on the shin bone (tibia) and causing small little tears in the tibia.
		Shin splints generally present as a fairly diffuse pain along either the front or inner side of the shin.
		Although quite uncommon, it is possible to have a cyst or something similar in the tibia or muslce causing similar symptoms to shin splints, which is why I recommend at least an xray by the second visit.

		The function of the tibialis anterior is to decelerate the foot at heel strike during the gait cycle. The symptoms of anterior shin splints occur at the origin of the tibialis anterior muscle and tendon.
		The muscle and tendon that cause posterior shin splints are called the tibialis posterior. The role of the tibialis posterior is to support the arch as the body moves over the foot during the gait cycle. Posterior shin splint pain is usually specific to the medial ankle, just behind the medial malleolus.
		Posterior shin splints are a true form of tendonitis and occur in the body of the tibialis posterior tendon behind the medial malleolus (inside ankle bone).

		by Neal Sand M.S., A. The term "shin splints" is an inadequate and misleading term used to describe a dull aching pain that is experienced in the shins, most commonly along the anterior crest of the tibia and fibula during running type activities.
		Included in the term "shin splints" is anterior tibialis tendonitis, medial tibial stress syndrome, stress fractures, and compartment syndrome.
		Treatment for this type of shin splint is rest, ice, stretching the achilles tendon, and strengthening exercises for the arch.

		Pain felt on the inner side of the shinbone is called ‘medial shin splints’, while the term ‘anterior shin splints’ refers to pain felt on the outer side.
		While medial shin splints are more common, pain may be felt on both sides of the shinbone in severe cases.
		Shin splints can be caused by a number of factors working in combination.

	Shin Splints Information on Healthline
		Shin splints are an inflammation of the tendons, muscles, and periosteum most commonly seen in those who walk, jog, or run on hard, uneven surfaces.
		Depending on the body tissues involved, shin splints may indicate myositis (an inflammation of the muscle), tendinitis (inflammation of the tendons), or periostitis (an inflammation of the tissue covering the bone).

	Active.com - Preventing and treating shin splints
		"Shin splints" is a general term for a condition caused by inflammation to the anterior or posterior muscles and tendons in the lower leg or adjacent soft tissue along the shin bone (tibia).
		For instance, in the case of anterior shin splints, the tibialis anterior muscle and tendon may be overextended during running, which stresses the muscle and tendon.
		Shin splits are often found in runners who have a tendency to pronate the foot (roll it excessively inward onto the arch), or have tight Achilles tendons or calf muscles, or weak ankle muscles.

		Many experts believe that shin splints are the most common injury among athletes who do a lot of running in their sporting activities ('Relieving Painful Shin Splints,' The Physician and Sportsmedicine, vol.
		That's why many of the exercise routines which supposedly prevent shin splints don't work so well; they often emphasise only front-and-back motions, rather than the side-to-side and rotational activities which are routine aspects of the biomechanics of movement.
		The bottom line is that if you want to prevent shin splints, you can't merely develop general strength in your dorsiflexors - or strength which exhibits itself in only one plane of motion: Your dorsiflexors must actually be stronger while you are moving around.

		Specifically the two problems of shin splints and runner's knee interest me, as they are both often linked to overpronation, which is why one ends up with inflexible shoes.

		Shin splints can be caused by sudden increases in mileage, walking uphill, overtraining, walking faster than normal, jumping, running stairs, or just too much distance.
		Medial shin splints are usually caused by excessive pronation or flat feet, and often by pounding from running, or sports like tennis, volleyball, and other weight-bearing activities.
		Lateral shin splints (sometimes called anterior shin splints) are usually due to overuse and inflammation of the anterior tibialis muscle and the muscle compartment in the front of the leg, along the outside front of your shin.

		X-rays are not often helpful in the diagnosis of shin splints but another condition, known as a stress fracture, may show a suspicion of bony pathology.
		Some believe that bone scans are helpful in the diagnosis of shin splints but my experience tells me that virtually any inflammation around the shin bone or associated structures will cause the scan to be positive and this study will not distinguish definitively which entity is present.
		There is a strong feeling among athletic trainers that shin splints have much to do with the abnormal splaying out of the foot on contact and, therefore, taping techniques to the arch have proven beneficial.
