There are several potential causes for shin pain in pediatric patients, including:
Overuse: Repetitive activities such as running, jumping, or dancing can strain the shin muscles and tendons. Improper Footwear: Wearing shoes that do not provide adequate support can contribute to shin pain. Flat Feet: Children with flat feet may experience additional strain on their shins during physical activities. Sudden Increase in Activity: Rapidly increasing the intensity or duration of physical activity can lead to shin pain. Growth Spurts: During periods of rapid growth, the muscles and tendons can become tight, leading to discomfort.
