Shin splints are one of the more common and persistent forms of injuries a runner or athletes in sports focused on lower extremities can experience. Often beginning as a niggle, shin splints can worsen with time and become a nagging injury when full blown.

Dr Bryan Wang, an orthopaedic surgeon at Beacon Orthopaedics, will dissect the correlation between knee injuries and shin splints, and how to ensure one gets back to full fitness in good time.

Knee injuries are a common concern for runners, and they can often be prevented with proper training, footwear, and attention to form. Dr Bryan works closely with athletes of all abilities to take this worry out of your training and this have proven to help our patients avoid making mistakes that can occur from trying to self-diagnose and taking on the risk of being out of action for an even longer time.
