Shin pain can be annoying at best, and absolutely debilitating at worst. Identifying the cause of your shin pain is the first essential step in treating the pain. In this physical therapy education article, we are going to talk about some of the most common types of shin pain, and how such pain can be effectively remedied with physical therapy.
Common Types of Shin Pain
Shin pain can caused by a variety of factors. Avid runners often experience shin pain from shin splints. Shin pain can also be caused by acute injury (such as a sports accident or car accident). Here are some of the more common types of shin pain:
- Shin Splints
- Fractures
- Bruises, Sprains, Strains
No matter what the cause, it’s important to address the pain as soon as possible so you can figure out what’s wrong and work towards a solution.
