“Shin splints” refers to pain along the inside-front part of the lower leg.

Shin splints is most often experienced by people that have just started begin jogging. The condition is usually caused by an imbalance between the calf muscles on the back of the lower leg (posterior muscles) and the anterior muscles or muscles on the front part of the lower leg.

Treatment for shin splints includes anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy and custom arch supports (orthotics)  for foot balance, to control motion and cushion the foot.
