How foot alignment impacts your shins
Pain in the shins is typically caused by repetitive stress on the connective tissues surrounding the shinbone. When your feet overpronate or lack adequate shock absorption, your shin muscles have to work harder to stabilize your leg, leading to inflammation. By correcting these biomechanical imbalances, we reduce the load on your shins and allow irritated tissues to heal.
Relief for shin splints and leg pain
Using comprehensive gait analysis, we identify exactly where your movement pattern is breaking down. We manage the common causes of shin pain, including:
- Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) caused by repetitive strain on the shinbone
- Anterior tibial pain involving the muscles at the front of the leg that lift the foot
- Targeted orthotic therapy to improve leg alignment and shock absorption
