what is Tibial Stress Syndrome?

  • Tibial stress syndrome, also known as shin splints, is an overuse injury which leads to persistent dull pain at the front of the shin along the tibial edge.

  • It is more common in those who don’t exercise regularly and then suddenly try to run or increase activity levels significantly.

  • Symptoms include overall pain at the shin area, pain after exercise and if severe, can be painful when walking or using stairs


Shockwave Therapy For Tibial Stress Syndrome

  • Clients who do not respond to conservative treatment including reduced activity and stretching and strengthening exercises should consider shockwave therapy.

  • Shockwave therapy can be targeted at the painful area and can increase blood flow as well as stem cell activity promoting increased healing and reduce pain

  • Evidence based treatment protocols recommend a minimum of 3 treatments, each 7-10 days apart. More treatments may be indicated and this will be assessed on an individual basis
