What is the best treatment for shin splints?
The first thing to look at is your feet. Many times shin splints are a result of improper or poor arch support in your athletic shoes. Replacing the inserts with ones that properly support your medial and lateral arch is important. It is also important that you wear a “pair” of orthotics, like Off-The-Shelf Insoles. If not, you will throw your hips off balance and create more problems.
