Shockwave Treatment for Shin Splints

Shin Splints Treatment in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon & Lake Country

If you’re dealing with persistent pain along the inner part of your lower leg — especially after running or high-impact activity — shockwave treatment may provide the relief you’ve been looking for. It’s a safe, non-invasive treatment that targets the underlying inflammation and speeds up healing.

What Are Shin Splints?

Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, commonly known as shin splints, occurs when repetitive stress causes inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue around the tibia (shinbone). It’s often triggered by overtraining, improper footwear, or sudden increases in activity.

Common symptoms include:

  • Dull, aching pain along the inside edge of the shin
  • Pain that worsens with running, jumping, or prolonged walking
  • Mild swelling in the lower leg
  • Tenderness to touch along the shinbone

How Shockwave Treatment Helps

Shockwave treatment uses acoustic pulses to promote healing and reduce inflammation in the affected soft tissue and periosteum (bone covering). It helps:

  • Improve blood flow and accelerate tissue repair
  • Break down microtrauma and reduce inflammation
  • Alleviate pain from chronic stress or overuse
  • Support long-term recovery and return to activity

Benefits of Shockwave Treatment for Shin Splints

  • Non-invasive and safe
  • Ideal for stubborn or recurring cases
  • No downtime or long recovery
