General Application: Alleviates pain and discomfort associated with Shin Splints. Medical Application: Reduces symptoms of Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome and Anterior Shin Splints. How It Works: The Shin Splint Compression Wrap applies gentle pressure on soft tissue next to the tibia (shin bone), helping prevent additional tearing of the soft tissue away from the tibia. Compression not only reduces additional damage, it alleviates pain and enhances the healing process. In addition, targeted pressure will absorb stress to the tibia. Design Theory behind Shin Splint Compression Wrap: Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome is the most popular form of shin splints. Because Medial Tibial Stress Sydrome occurs in the lower 1/3rd region of the tibia, it is important to target that region. The Shin Splint Compression Wrap's contoured design focuses compression on the soft tissue next to the tibia (where you need it) and keeps pressure off of the calf (where you don't need it). Item 3500 One size fits all
This athletic shin splint from Pro-Tec applies compression with a focus on support and stability! The two-strap wrap reduces the symptoms of shin splints and adds stability by applying gentle pressure to prevent additional tearing of the soft tissue away from the tibia bone.

Customer Reviews:
This worked for me, too!
After reading the above 2 reviews, I felt as though the reviewers were describing me. I took up running a year ago but I have to take frequent week-long breaks because my left shin just can't support that kind of activity. I ran 3 miles last week, and my shin KILLED me afterwards. The pain was against the bone, moving up behind my kneecap. Icing had no effect and, a few days later, the pain was getting worse -- not better.
I went to three different stores looking for a shin splint compression (Target, Walgreens, and a local athletic store) and none of them carried a compression wrap for shin splints.
When I tried on this compression wrap, it felt really good. The pressure was off the bone. I can actually walk upstairs again!
The wrap hasn't slipped on me at all. I think that has to do with the shape of your leg and how tightly you wrap the compression, instead of the compression itself, although I haven't tried running with it yet.
Also: the product looks a lot nicer than in the picture. The picture makes it look thin and gray, but it's dark black and made out of sturdy material.
No regrets here! I definitely recommend this product.
Worked for me
I have had shin splints for almost a year and a half! i can not give up running because i am in the army so i have to run no matter what. From icing to taping i tried everything. I was skeptic about buying this product but based on the above review (thank u contributer), i gave it a try. and i am happy i did because it works really good. Before, i just couldnt run for more than a mile because my shins gave up. And if i taped them, then as soon as i stopped running and took off the tape, my shins hurt like crazy. but this product is really good!
The only small problem i have is that sometimes it starts to slide down a little bit. But that happens when you are running nonstop for 4+ miles. Overall i am thankful to whoever made this product! I couldn't keep buying expensive medical tapes and pre-tape wraps every week so i gave this product my try! and it really worked for me.
These worked for me!
I am a want-to-be runner who continually gets sidelined due to recurring shin splints. I've tried all recommendations of strengthening, stretching and icing the muscle -- to no avail. Since I received these, I've used them every time that I've run - except one time - without pain. That one time I had sore shins for days. Also, I did plyometrics w/out wearing these and suffered sore shins afterwards. Later that week I ran a hilly 5k w/ the wraps on -- no pain! I wish I had found these sooner! I definitely recommend these.
Cons: directions for placement of the pressure pad is not very good. And, they have a tendency to slide - or maybe I just didn't have them on tight enough. Not certain because the directions are lacking.
