Does This Sound Familiar?
Pain along the inner edge of the shinbone during or after running
Tenderness or soreness along the lower two-thirds of the shin
Pain that starts at the beginning of a run and may improve — then return after stopping
Sharp or aching discomfort that persists beyond typical soreness
Pain that has not resolved with rest alone
Recurring shin pain with every return to training
Shin splints — clinically known as medial tibial stress syndrome — is one of the most common overuse injuries in runners and athletes. It occurs when repeated stress on the tibia overloads the bone and surrounding connective tissue, causing pain and inflammation. When rest alone isn't enough and symptoms keep returning with training, focused shockwave therapy can help address the underlying tissue stress and support recovery.
How We Treat Chronic Shin Splints
At Chiropractic Remedy, we use focused shockwave therapy to target the periosteal tissue and muscle attachments along the tibia to reduce pain and support healing.
Shockwave therapy may help by:
Reducing periosteal irritation and bone stress response along the tibia
Increasing circulation to the affected tissue
Stimulating tissue repair at the muscle-bone attachment
Decreasing chronic pain sensitivity in the lower leg
Supporting a faster, more durable return to training
Shockwave therapy is non-surgical, drug-free, and requires no downtime. Many patients begin noticing improvement within a few treatments.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right For You?
Shockwave therapy may be appropriate if:
Your shin pain has lasted longer than 6–8 weeks
Shin splints keep recurring with every return to training
Rest alone hasn't provided lasting relief
You want to avoid time away from sport or activity
You're looking for a non-invasive option to support tissue healing and prevent recurrence
During your evaluation, we will determine whether shockwave therapy is appropriate for your specific condition.
