Shin Splints
Definition: Inflammation of the tendons on the inside of the front of the lower leg. (Sports-medicine specialists don't like to use the term "shin splints" because it commonly refers to several lower-leg injuries.
Symptoms: An aching, throbbing or tenderness along the inside of the shin (though it can radiate to the outside also) about halfway down, or all along the shin from the ankle to the knee. Pain when you press on the inflamed area. Pain is most severe at the start of a run, but can go away during a run once the muscles are loosened up (unlike a stress fracture of the shinbone, which hurts all the time). With tendinitis, pain resumes after the run.
Causes: Tired or inflexible calf muscles put too much stress on tendons, which become strained and torn. Overpronation aggravates this problem, as does running on hard surfaces, such as concrete sidewalks.

Beginning runners are the most susceptible to shin splints for a variety of reasons, but the most common is that they're using leg muscles that haven't been stressed in the same way before. Another common cause of shin splints among beginners is poor choice of running shoes, or running in something other than running shoes. Runners who have started running after a long layoff are also susceptible to shin splints because they often increase their mileage too quickly.

What are Goode Wraps, anyway?

They are elasticized cloth bands, elastic strips, adhesive patches and cones. Each of these is impregnated with a unique blend of natural rare earth semiconductors that increase circulation to reduce pain or prevent swelling. Goode Wraps are available for the foot, ankle, knee, hip, back, elbows, shoulder, wrist and fingers. In fact, the semiconductors can be added to almost any cloth like material.

Pain Study

Exerts from Pain Study being prepared for publication by a large Western University
METHODOLOGY
A group of 32 injury victims were selected from two locations. One a pain clinic where the injuries ranged from sports trauma, shin splints, spasms to falls, and two "old injuries acting up." The other location was an athletic training center at a large Western University during basketball, volleyball, and track seasons. The injuries involved were strains, sprains, and trauma from falls, etc. There were no broken bones or deep cuts.
The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups, red or blue. All subjects were required to sign a consent form in order to join the study, however, neither the subject nor the trainer/nurse/physician knew whether red or blue was experimental or control. Each subject was askedóand agreedónot to ingest any type of analgesic or other pain medication nor obtain any other methods of treatment for their injury while participating in this study.
Results - the perceived levels of pain were calculated by subtracting the perceived level at each reporting time from the original perception:
· Thirty minutes - all control group subjects felt worse or no change. 31% of the treatment groups felt somewhat better. Significance of .024.
· Two hours - control group subjects continued to feel worse or the same. 56% of treatment group felt significant improvement. Significance is .003.
· 24 hours - 25% of control had some improvement. 63% of treatment group had significant improvement.
· Three days - 30% of control group had slight improvement. 88% of treatment group had moderate to great improvement.
· Seven days - 33% of control group subjects had again slight improvement. 91% of treatment group subjects had great to total improvement. Significance is .004.

More Shin Splints
Posterior tibial shin splints, in the front portion of the legs, account for about 75% of the problems affecting athletes. Tibial periostitis occurs further toward the front of the leg than posterior tibial shin splints, and the bone itself is tender. Anterior compartment syndrome affects the outer side of the front of the leg.

Stress fracture is usually a localized, sharp pain with tenderness 1 or 2 inches below the knee. This condition is likely to occur 2 or 3 weeks into a new training program after the legs have taken a real pounding.
