Leg Pain And Chiropractic

Patients visiting San Jose Chiropractor with shin splints come with non-specific symptoms, with a feeling of pain in the back or front of the lower leg. Shin splints cover a lot of meanings. Among the conditions seen as the cause of shin splints are muscle strain, interosseous membrane strain, tendonitis and periostitis.

There are basically two types of shin splints in San Jose: 1. Anterior shin splints – involves muscles in the front of the leg that are used for shock absorption. When they are weak or placed under increased demand as in walking or running on hard surfaces or when the shoe has no shock absorbing qualities, the force is transmitted to the shin bone resulting in a shin splint. 2. Posterior shin splints – arise when it is the muscles at the back of the leg that are affected. Their function as ankle stabilizers is compromised when they are strained too much.

With shin splints, the pain is often at the middle to lower third of the shin bone. A chief differential diagnosis for shin splints is stress fracture, according to Dr Seth Lueders DC. But x-rays will not show shin splints, as they come out usually as normal.

Your chiropractor, of CA, will perform a thorough history and examination including orthopaedic, neurological testing and diagnostic radiography to determine the extent of you shin splints. Then they will develop a specific plan of management tailored to your case.
