“How do you heal shin splints?”

In my office, we occasionally use PRP or stem cell injections to accelerate the healing process. Many times, you need to rest it and consider having someone evaluate how your foot hits the ground with walking and running. If your ankle isn't aligned correctly or you have a flat arch that can increase the pain. Other times, it may be a stress fracture that should be treated with rest.
