Shin Splints | A Simple, Drug Free Treatment

SHIN SPLINTS

Description:

Pain, stiffness and a "creaky" feeling is felt in the Anterior Tibial muscles at the front of one or both shins. Occurs due to the overuse of the Anterior Tibial muscles, such as excessive training or running when the muscles are not accustomed to a sudden increase in workload.

ELECTRODE POSITIONING BioStim™ can be used as an immediate first aid measure to relieve pain and increase electro-chemical activity, to speed the rate of healing. Any work loads on the affected leg should be reduced substantially or ceased altogher. BioStim™ should also be used to strengthen the Anterior Tibial muscles after pain relief has been achieved, to prevent a reoccurance.

Placement of Applicators:

One electrode at the top and bottom of the affected shin, or a few inches on either side of the painful region.
