Why do compression stockings help with shin splints?

Shin splints are caused by excessive strain on the shinbone and the surrounding muscle and tendon tissue. Our compression stockings and tubes apply targeted pressure to the lower leg, which helps remove waste products, reduces inflammation, and supports recovery.

PRO Compression Socks and PRO Compression Tubes are specifically designed for athletic performance. They are medically approved (MDR-certified), seamless, and breathable – ideal for training and recovery.

Are shin splint socks the same as compression stockings?

Compression socks for shin splints are specially designed to apply gradual pressure to the lower leg, aiming to reduce the strain on the shin. They are therefore often called "shin splint socks." Our PRO Compression socks offer specific medical compression values (23/30 mmHg) that effectively help with this condition.

01
Should I choose stockings or tubes for shin splints?

Both options are suitable, but it depends on your preference. PRO Compression Socks provide compression over the entire lower leg, including the foot. PRO Compression Tubes are footless and ideal for those who only want support around the shins and calves.

02
Can I continue exercising with shin splint socks?

Yes, many athletes stay active with the help of good compression. Shin splint socks reduce the strain on the shin and improve blood circulation, which can help you continue training responsibly. However, if you experience severe symptoms, always consult a sports physiotherapist.
