Abstract
Shin splints are a common problem for athletes whose sports involve a repeated, jarring impact to the leg. Often they are due to a change in activity level. Stopping the activity until the pain subsides, and then gradually working back up to the desired level is generally the best treatment and protection against recurrence.
