Product Information

The firmest compression, 30 – 40 mmHg, is for post-thrombotic syndrome and other major issues, such as ulcers. While the firmest has the greatest impact, they also carry the highest user error risk. Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help you get moving again by strengthening your legs and reducing your chance of repeated injury.

Shin splints often result from repetitive stress, which causes small tears in the bone, connective tissue, and muscles of the leg. While it's possible to develop stress injuries even while maintaining a balanced gait, exercising with poor form increases your risk of injury. When a person exercises without proper alignment, they put additional strain on the musculoskeletal system with each step. Microtears can develop over the course of a single workout, causing significant discomfort. Common defects such as overpronation and forefoot varus have been linked to a greater incidence of shin pain ( Bates 135 ). If you continue to exercise without correcting your form, the microtears in your tendons, muscles, and bones are likely to worsen. Pain relievers: Over-the-counter (OTC) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can ease pain and swelling. You can get shin splints if you do the same exercises or motions many times in ways that put stress on the muscles, tendons, and bones around your shins. You could get them if you make sudden changes in your exercise routine, such as exercising harder, more often, or for a longer time. You might also get shin splints if you exercise with shoes that don't fit you well or are worn out. Shin stretches. Stand with a hand against the wall. Bend your knee and use your other hand to pull your foot until you feel a stretch along your shin. Hold for 15-30 seconds three times. You should call your healthcare provider if your shin pain is severe or doesn’t go away after a few weeks of rest. Call your provider if your legs are very swollen, red or painful. These symptoms could mean you have an infection or another condition. What questions should I ask my healthcare provider?Burne, S G et al. “Risk factors associated with exertional medial tibial pain: a 12 month prospective clinical study.” British journal of sports medicine, vol. 38, iss. 4, 2004, pp. 441-445. https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsm.2002.004499 .

Special silicon shoe inserts and supportive footwear are made for people with flat feet. They support your feet’s arches to reduce strain from the bones and muscles in your lower legs. When you increase your activity level again after the break, remember to increase it Otherwise, the condition of shin splints can return. Take a break from activities like dancing, marching, running, or any other sports which involve strenuous leg movement. It will provide time for your tissues to heal. When we wore them while sitting, we noticed that our feet and legs felt noticeably less tired. However, we also found that we had to roll the band over to keep them at knee height, meaning they may be too long for some wearers. (We did like that the band still felt comfortable to wear, even when we doubled it up.)It is not recommended that you wear two compression garments over one another. This can cause too much compression or not distribute the compression appropriately. You could end up restricting blood flow rather than promoting it. More isn’t always better, even when treating shin splints.

Hard Surfaces: Running on hard or uneven surfaces can increase the risk of developing shin splints. We felt a significant difference after sitting all day in these, with more energy in our legs and feet. And we liked that the looser toe allowed for a better range of motion, so we could wiggle our toes freely without our feet feeling squeezed.Some people are more likely to get shin splints than others. Your choices about exercise can also put you at more risk for shin splints. Risk factors for shin splints include: Side effects from NSAIDs are rare but can occur. They usually happen only after you’ve taken the medication for a long time. You should use the lowest dose for the shortest time to minimize side effects. With 15 to 20 mmHg of compression, this pair is right in the middle of the pressure range on our list. We also like the simple, sporty design, which is ideal for regular wear. And they feature Bombas’ typical seamless toe for comfort whether you’re wearing them alone or in shoes.
