Summary

This study is intended to determine if compression garments effectively reduce pain in the treatment of tibial stress syndrome (TSS) in the military population. The study will include diagnoses of shin splints, which is medically known as tibial stress syndrome and medial tibial stress syndrome, and compare a treatment group using compression garments to a control group using passive recovery. Both groups will engage in a progressive walk-to-run program. The outcomes will be measured by comparison in pain scales pre and post treatments. The ability to perform a two mile run without pain symptoms will be assessed at the conclusion of the study by participant's self-reported evaluation. The TSS screening questionnaire will be obtained at each medical encounter to include the initial visit and follow-up visits at the four and eight week (+/- 3 days) marks. The self-reported 2-mile run evaluation is included on the TSSS questionnaire.
