Shin splint pain requires very careful assessment, and requires careful management to help assist in preventing the pain from becoming chronic. Very often transdisciplinary management is necessary, to check that excessive pressures are not building up in specific compartments, which can lead to more serious conditions. (I.e. Compartment syndrome). Very often prescription foot orthotics can help to balance out the use of muscles in different compartments of the lower limb, and to assist in alteration of the firing order of muscles, to a more functional outcome.
