The most common new runner injury is shin splints. We get so pumped up about our new passion for running that we do too much, too soon, too fast and our body needs time to adapt. Shin Splints come from a tendon imbalance and/or tightness in muscles. It is important to come in and get evaluated to see if we can help you with your stretching regimen or even orthotics for your shoes to help put your foot in a better position and relieve stress on your foot.
Symptoms:
- Ache or sharp pain along the front or inner side of the lower leg
- Could have some swelling in the lower leg
