=== Medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splint) ===
Several methods can be utilized to help control pain caused by [[shin splints]]. Placing ice on the affected area prior to and after running will aid in reducing pain. In addition, wearing [[orthoses]] ([[Orthotics|orthotic]] devices), including a [[neoprene]] sleeve (Figure 2) and wearing appropriate footwear such as a [[foot arch]] can help to eliminate the condition. Stretching and strengthening of the anterior [[tibia]] or medial tibia by performing exercises of [[foot|plantar]] and [[foot|dorsi]] flexors such as [[triceps surae|calf]] stretch can also help in easing the pain.<ref>{{cite journal |first=Tim |last=Garl |year=2004 |title=Lower Leg Pain in Basketball Players |journal=FIBA Assist Magazine |pages=61–62 |url=http://www.docstoc.com/docs/48481525/LOWER-LEG-PAIN-IN-BASKETBALL-PLAYERS}}</ref>
