Shin Splints Treatment in Goulburn

That nagging ache along the shin that flares up when you run or train.

Shin splints are a classic overload injury. With the right assessment we work out why your shins are being overloaded and take the pressure off.

What It Feels Like

Aching or tenderness along the inner shin bone

Pain that starts during exercise and eases with rest

Discomfort when you press along the shin

Pain that returns as soon as you build training back up

Common Causes

A rapid increase in running or training volume

Hard surfaces and worn footwear

Flat feet or poor shock absorption

Tight calves and weak lower limb muscles

How We Treat It at Peak Sports Podiatry

Biomechanical and gait assessment

A structured plan to reduce load and rebuild safely

Footwear review and recommendations

Orthotics if your foot type is contributing

When to Get It Checked

If shin pain returns every time you train, or is becoming sharper and more focused in one spot, get it checked to rule out a stress injury.
COMMON QUESTION

Can I keep running?

Often, with modified distance and softer surfaces, yes. We map out a safe return so you do not lose your fitness.
