DO CALF COMPRESSION SLEEVES HELP WITH SHIN SPLINTS?

Oct 24th 2021

Yes! You can use a compression sleeve to ease the pain associated with shin splints. Read on for more details.

What are shin splints?

The term ‘shin splints’ describes pain along the front of the lower leg. It is a common overuse injury usually felt while running or jumping. Inflammation, strained muscles, or compartment syndrome can all lead to the discomfort associated with shin splints.

Do compression sleeves help ease shin splint pain?

Calf compression sleeves are a great way to stimulate blood flow and support the sore area of your shins. Increased circulation to your lower calf will facilitate recovery and reduce shin splint pain. Compression sleeves also increase proprioception, so your muscles work more efficiently and get less sore over time. Learn more.

How can I prevent shin splints?

The best way to prevent shin splints from reoccurring is to strengthen the area and warm up properly before exercise. Wearing calf compression sleeves during activity will help keep your lower legs warm and calf muscles activated.

Please note that BioSkin encourages people to speak with their physical therapist or doctor to determine what’s best for them.

Testimonials

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
