Causes and treatment of tibial periostitis
Tibial periostitis is a frequent injury in runners, it consists of an inflammation of the periosteum, which is the connective tissue membrane that covers the bones to nourish them, in this case the tibia.
Our collaborator FisioPinar Clinic tells us on this occasion the causes and treatment of this injury
The pain or burning is located either on the inner side of the shin or on the most anterior. Commonly seen small balls or bulges that hurt like a cardinal.
This pain is characterized because it begins at the beginning of the race, decreases after heating the area, and then increases when it takes a while to run.
As causes we could speak of inappropriate footwear such as a shoe that is too hard, poorly cushioned, or too worn. Another cause could be excessive training on hard or irregular surfaces or with too many slopes. Another important reason would be the biomechanics of the runner, an excessive tibial or hip rotation, a knee valgus or an exaggerated pronation of the foot, or a flat foot could lead to a tibial periostitis.
As a main treatment, it is a suitable footwear for the race and if there is a biomechanical problem, our podiatrist will make a study of the tread and will recommend the appropriate templates.
El local ice applied after activity reduces pain and inflammation. It is also important to make the area more flexible Stretching y potentiate the muscles of the entire area of the leg.
Therapy with INDIBA improves vascularity in the area and inflammation.
