2. Exercise
We all know that exercise is good for us. In fact, it is recommended that you exercise at least a few times each week. However, with exercise there comes a chance of injury. This is especially true when a person is adding in more difficult exercise routines.
This additional stress can cause the muscles and even the bones in the body to react. Pain in the shins is quite common among runners and dancers. This is because of the pressure that is put on the shins during these movements. Any type of additional workout that an athlete does may cause an injury to the shin bone.
When this occurs during exercise a person should stop what they are doing and rest the legs as much as possible. Icing the area and resting are the two best options for treating shin splints when they occur during exercise as rest is the only way for the area to properly heal.
