Shin Splints and Dorsal Foot

Shin splints are caused by one primary muscle, the tibias anterior. This muscle pinches the deep and superficial peroneal nerves causing direct nerve compression. The other muscles of the lateral shin and top of the foot are innervated by the peroneal nerves so they will spasm as a result of the tibias anterior pinching their nerve supply.To relieve shin splints, release the tibias anterior and go from there. Dorsal foot pain is caused by the extensor hallicus brevis or extensor digitorum brevis. learn how these muscles to heal these topics, enroll in our class for shin splints and dorsal foot pain.
