What Causes Shin Splints?
Shin splints are typically caused by repetitive stress from running or jumping, especially when training intensity increases suddenly or footwear lacks proper support.
How Compression May Help
Compression sleeves are designed to support circulation and reduce muscle vibration during activity, which may improve comfort in the lower leg.
Preventing Recurrence
Gradual training progression, strengthening exercises, proper footwear, and surface management are important for reducing flare-ups. Supportive bracing may assist during return-to-run phases.
Prescription & Tax Exemption (When Applicable)
Some medical compression supports may qualify as tax-exempt with a valid prescription in Canada. If you have a prescription, you can submit it for review and tax-exempt processing where eligible.
