What makes shin splints heal faster?

Asked 4 years ago

I feel like I am wasting time by resting and waiting for my shin splints to heal on their own. Is there anything that I can do to make them heal faster?

The rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE) method is a common approach to treating injuries at home, and it can be helpful in healing your shin splints. Most of the shin splints will heal on their own. But here are some suggestions:

  • Rest for 2 to 3 days and no running or sports. after 3 days of rest, you can get back to your schedule of training.
  • Ice the painful area for 10 minutes, 4 or 5 times a day
  • wear compression socks
