Shin splints, known as medial tibial stress syndrome, are characterized by pain along the shinbone (tibia). It commonly occurs in athletes or individuals engaged in strenuous physical activities, resulting from overuse, stress, or repetitive impact on the shinbone and the tissues attaching the muscles to the bone. It often involves inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and surrounding tissues in the lower leg, causing discomfort and tenderness. | Physical Therapy Session
