8. Shin Splint Pain Treatment
The initial treatment for shin splint pain centers around applying ice and resting. Low temperatures help reduce inflammation. If safe, anti-inflammatory medicine such as ibuprofen can also aid recovery.
While it can be frustrating, it’s essential to stop activity temporarily and rest. Walking is usually fine, and alternative cross-training with no impact such as swimming or cycling can be a good idea. Remember that time out for injury is an inevitable part of exercising.
