Compression Sleeves
for Shin Splints
Graduated compression sleeves worn during and after running may reduce shin pain and swelling by supporting the lower leg musculature.
How it works
Compression increases soft tissue pressure around the tibia, potentially reducing periosteal vibration and the micro-movement of the tibial fascia during running.
What to watch for
Evidence is limited and results are mixed. More useful for symptom management than treatment. Ensure proper sizing — too tight can worsen compartment pressure.
