I am on the track team for my high school and have ran track before. I am a 100m sprinter. I have recently been getting shin splints and i have tried a lot of things. My shoes are fine, my running form is fine, i stretch, warm up, and such. I ice it after practices every day and massage it. Is there anything else that can help heal it, or heal it faster?

a friend of mine had the same problem when he played basketball in h.s. this is what he did--stand on a step oon the balls of your feet. let your heels sink down,then rise back up onto your toes. this strengthens the muscles on either side of the shin bone, which helps to protect the bone fromn the shock of running. he also wrapped his lower legs with ace bandages for more support. try to avoid spending long periods of time standing on hard surfaces also. good luck

shin splints are an overuse injury, too much too often. Strengthening the muscle and strengthening the bone with exercise will work in the long run, in the short term however you need time to recover. So cut back on the amount of work you do and increase your recovery time, once you feel fine increase the workout intensity gradually. Remember recovery is essential for your muscles to grow and for you to get faster.

shin splints are tiny stress fractures that occur from overuse, and is commonly seen in runners. icing it is a very good idea, but you want to do it for only 20 minutes. also, calf stretches should help. also, taping your arches is what you should do. have a trainer tape the arches for you
