Posterior Shinsplints
Shinsplints, anterior shinsplints, shin pain and posterior shinsplints are terms describing periostitis which is inflammation of the periosteum. In simple terms the outer lining of the shin bone becomes inflamed where the muscle is attached to it.
Causes may vary but overpronation is a common cause which can be corrected with prescription orthotics.
Running on hard surfaces without the correct footwear can also irritate the shins. A full biomechanical evaluation is needed to determine the cause and formulate a treatment plan for the shin pain.

Shinsplints are a runners nightmare and can be so painful it will stop you running. Located on the lower third of your inner front shin the pain is felt when you press against the inside surface of the shinbone. Careful management needs to be employed by a running injury specialist who can treat this common running injury

Runners often experience shinsplints when training for marathons. Running long distances in poor footwear or on uneven ground can take its toll on muscles and joints. Poor biomechanics involving overpronation will put excessive strain on the periosteum and the shins will develop soreness.
Posterior shin pain can be found on the inside edge of the shin where the calf muscle meets the shin bone.
Normally located in the lower third of the shin above the inside ankle bone. Pressure applied here would result in tenderness. Runners desribe this as "inside shin pain" Correct name is Posterior Periostitis
As the condition is of an inflammatory nature it is advised that you use ice to reduce the pain and inflammation.
Treatment is very specific for this condition which can stop you running if not addressed promptly. Rest and a return to training only to find no improvement will only aggravate the condition which will become chronic and interfere with your training programme.
