Shin Splints

Shin treatment in Gatineau

“Periostitis” is the inflammation of the periosteum. this is the dense fibrous membrane covering the surface of the bones and serving as an attachment for muscles and tendons. During walking and running, we usually find anterior leg pain near the tibia. The periosteum undergoes increased stress when the feet are in wrong alignment, for example: in the case of flat feet. This pain impedes sports activities and/or hinders performance. If not checked, it can lead to a more severe problems, for example; stress fractures, that will result in stopping the activity.
