Causes of Shin Splints

• Having Flat Feet – If you have flat feet or flat foot syndrome, it can put increased stress on your shin bones when you participate in physical activities, leading to the development of shin splints.
• Playing Certain Armature or Professional Sports – If you participate in baseball, soccer, downhill skiing or any other sport that is characterized by starting and stopping fast, you could be at an increased risk for developing shin splints.
• Running – Running is one of the most common causes of shin splints, especially if the runner normally runs on extremely hard surfaces or uneven surfaces.
• Using Improper or Worn-Out Shoes – Exercising, walking and running in worn-out shoes or shoes with insufficient arch support can cause shin splints.
• Weak Core Muscles or Thigh Muscles – Weak back, ab, oblique, buttock and thigh muscles can increase your risk of developing shin splints.
