Abstract

Encourage patients who are concerned about shin splints to decrease the intensity of their running; suggest rest and ice and foot orthoses, to treat the condition. Reducing running intensity probably reduces lower extremity soft tissue injuries (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, low-quality randomized controlled trials [RCTs]), although doing stretching exercises doesn't.
