Shin-splints
The term shin-splints is often incorrectly used to describe any pain in the leg between the knee and the ankle. The lower leg consists of three compartments, and which muscles are injured and causing the pain determines the proper treatment.

Shin-splints occur a few inches below the knee on the medial (inner) side of the leg. The pain is located in the posterior tibial muscle/tendon. This muscle starts below the knee on the tibia, wraps around the inside of the ankle, and attaches to the underside of the foot. This route causes a pulley-like action that generates considerable force at either end. If a person runs too much, or if the feet are not working correctly, the muscle can become overstretched and pull excessively at the point where it attaches to the tibia.

In most cases, the cause of this excessive muscle stretching is hyperpronation (i.e., a flattened arch). This causes the foot to lengthen and the posterior tibial muscle/tendon to stretch. A custom-molded orthotic device can be placed inside the shoe to support and stabilize the foot and prevent the arch from flattening too much.
