Custom orthotics used in shin splints treatment

Shin Splints

Shin splints, clinically known as medial tibial stress syndrome, often begin as mild discomfort but can progress if the contributing factors are not addressed.

Whilst underlying biomechanical factors (foot posture) often play a role that can be corrected with the use of custom foot orthotics, research shows that as little as one treatment with Radial Shockwave Therapy can be effective at reducing symptoms1, 2.

Why choose Prahran Foot Clinic?

Our experienced team understands the importance of addressing underlying biomechanical factors, such as foot posture, which often contribute to shin splints. We provide custom foot orthotics tailored to your specific needs, correcting biomechanical anomalies and providing long-term relief. Book your appointment today to receive personalised orthotic solutions for your shin splints.

In addition to custom foot orthotics, we offer the potential benefits of radial shockwave therapy. Research shows that even just one session of this advanced therapy can significantly reduce shin splint symptoms. Our skilled practitioners utilise radial shockwave therapy to deliver precise and targeted shockwaves to the affected area, stimulating healing and promoting tissue regeneration. Take the first step towards reducing your shin splint symptoms by contacting us to schedule a session of radial shockwave therapy.

Your podiatrist will recommend a personalised treatment plan, which may include activity modification, custom foot orthotics or radial shockwave therapy, depending on your assessment.
