Healing Solutions for Shin Splints

You don't have to suffer. You don't have to wait.
  • You can reduce the pain and swelling.
  • You can heal quickly.
  • You simply need the right treatment.

One Super Important Fact:


One Super Important Fact

When it comes to treating Shin Splints, compression sleeves are ok, but medical grade tape will make you feel better much faster. Think about it - the reason you have pain is because the muscle in your shin is pulling away from the bone. Taping that muscle will help it stay in place and prevent the pain from coming back. For relief that's both quick and effective, medical grade tape beats a compression sleeve.


Get Rid of Shin Splints For Good


Every time the pain flares up, you tell yourself you're going to do it right this time. You're going to be diligent and use the proper treatment methods to get rid of your Shin Splints. But then the pain subsides, and your plans of proper treatment are forgotten, until the pain comes back again. If you really want to do it right and prevent your Shin Splints from coming back, you need the right tools. You need our ColdCure® Leg Wrap to reduce the inflammation, KB Support Tape to provide support while your healing, and BFST® Leg Wrap for once the pain has gone away - to ensure it doesn't come back!


The Ultimate Solution:


If you really want to get better, here's exactly what you need to do.


  • Use the ColdCure® Wrap to relieve the pain and bring down the inflammation in your shin. Keep doing ColdCure® treatments until all of the swelling is gone.
  • Wear KB Support Tape as much as possible, as this will keep the muscle in place and help prevent re-injury by providing your shin with extra support and protection.
  • Once your swelling and pain is completely gone, start using the BFST® Wrap. BFST® treatments will improve your blood flow circulation and prevent your Shin Splints from returning.
  • Do this and your Shin Splints can truly heal - finally.


    Dealing With Pain


    Shin Splint Treatment Without Drugs

    Shin Splints can be extremely painful and debilitating, causing you to reach for painkillers to find some relief. NSAIDs such as ASA, acetaminophen or ibuprofen are often used to treat the pain but these drugs do nothing to treat the actual condition. In fact, NSAIDs are known blood thinners and make the bleeding worse for fresh tissue injuries. Typical pain medications acutally interfere with the healing process. They do not promote healing of the injury and put you at a very high risk of further injury.


    Painkillers Are BAD, Not Good


    Painkillers mask the pain, causing you to feel a false sense of ability. This can result in continued stress and injury to your shin. Respect the pain - it's there for a reason. Use it as a guide - if you feel pain when doing a certain activity, it's probably best to avoid that activity until you're further along in the healing process. It is understandable that people need relief from the pain, so if you have to take painkillers, try to restrict them to times when you are off your feet. For example, you can use painkillers to to help you sleep. Using them when you are active is a recipe for permanent damage.


    Avoid the Dangers of Painkillers


    ColdCure® Wraps are a safe, effective alternative to painkillers. The ColdCure® Leg Wrap does an amazing job of relieving the pain and swelling associated with Shin Splints, without any of the negative aspects of painkillers. ColdCure® Wraps also work much faster than painkillers. As soon as you apply the wrap to your shin, you will feel the cool, soothing relief as it absorbs the pain. With painkillers, it takes 20 minutes for them to kick in.


    ColdCure® Devices Reduce Pain and Swelling.

    ColdCure® Devices are NOT typical cold or ice packs.

    Leg ColdCure® Wrap

    For controlling the swelling and pain associated with Shin Splints, nothing works better than cold compression.


    ColdCure® gel packs were designed to address the need for a cold compression device that does not cause cold burns. Our gel packs pose no threat of freezing your skin or underlying tissue. This makes them much safer to use than other products that use ice, which can cause the skin to freeze, leading to permanent damage. ColdCure® gel packs are completely safe to use for extended treatment durations, meaning faster relief of pain and swelling. Our ColdCure® technology is a huge improvement on regular ice packs.


    The ColdCure® Leg Wrap is made entirely of very soft, stretchy material. It comes with 3 swappable cold packs that contain our unique XC RigiGel® formula. XC RigiGel® is firm yet flexible, meaning it always stays in place. Unlike gooey blue gel that migrates to other areas of the pack, our gel won't flow away from your injury. It will conform to your shin for an even, consistent treatment every time. The gel packs are inserted inside the wrap one at a time, so you can have the other two charging in the freezer to keep your therapy going. Do your ColdCure® treatments in 20 minute intervals throughout the day, or as long as you need the relief.


    Protect Your Leg Between Treatments


    KB Support Tape makes an enormous difference when it comes to Shin Splints. Wear the Tape on your Shin Splints any time you're not doing a ColdCure® or BFST® treatment. It's also important to apply the Tape prior to any physical activity, as this will help keep the muscle in place. This is much more effective than using a calf sleeve. You'll be amazed at how well the Tape works and how quickly you'll see results when you're active.


    Our skin is soft and elastic and can stretch much more than the tissue underneath. When you apply KB Support Tape to your skin, it becomes a much more rigid surface than before, serving to limit how much the skin can stretch. The Tape makes your skin a source of outside support to hold your tissue in place, helping to prevent re-injury. That's why we call it armor for your injury.


    KB Support Tape - Use All Day During Work & Play


    KB Tape

    KB Support Tape provides your injury with lightweight, comfortable compression to relieve your swelling throughout the day. It also prevents re-injury by providing support and protection for your injured tissue.


    KB Support Tape comes in 2 different styles: Pre-Cut Strips and a Continuous Roll. These 2 styles come in 4 different colors: Pink, Blue, Black & Beige. There's no functional difference between the colors, they just allow you to express your personal style.


    Shin Splint Tape Treatment

    The Pre-Cut Strips of KB Support Tape are ideal for people who want to use their tape on-the-go. Since they're already cut into ready-to-use strips, you can apply and go! Each roll of Pre-Cut KB Support Tape contains 20 individual strips. Each Pre-Cut Strip is 2 inches wide and 10 inches long.


    The Continuous Rolls of KB Support Tape are perfect for you if you're looking for a more customizable Tape. You can cut the Tape into a variety of different shapes and sizes to achieve a completely unique application for your injury. Each box contains 1 Continuous Roll of KB Support Tape that is 2 inches wide and 16 feet long.


    While we found the above application to be effective for Shin Splints, it's only an example. We encourage you to try different applications for your given injury to find the one that works best for you. Also, remember to listen to what your body is telling you. Use the pain as a guide. If you feel the pain in a specific area of your shin, apply the tape there.


    The Medical Tape Advantage


    What sets KB Support Tape apart from the rest? It's not athletic tape, it's medical tape. This means our Tape is manufactured to ISO 10993 standards, which ensures that our Tape is made from extremely safe, biocompatible materials. Our Tape is actually made from materials that are safer than most baby products, including diapers, toys and clothing. Don't let the big brand tapes fool you. Most of them are made from toxic materials, because there are no standards for athletic tape. Some big brand athletic tape glues even contain carcinogenic ingredients. At King Brand®, your health and safety is of utmost importance, which is why KB Support Tape is manufactured to such high standards.

    BFST® treatments should not be started until you've used the ColdCure® Wrap for several days to get rid of all the pain and swelling in your shin.


    The BFST® Wrap stimulates blood flow through your entire shin area while you are at rest. This is very important because while at rest, an unaided inflamed Shin Splint can otherwise have seriously impeded blood flow. It is the oxygen and nutrient-rich blood that enables the healing process, so adequate blood flow is required for the muscle to heal properly and quickly. Regular BFST® treatments are what will stop your Shin Splints from coming back.


    BFST® treatments are very pleasant and relaxing. People often notice a slight tingling sensation and warmth as the BFST® device starts increasing the blood flow. We recommend that you do 3-4 treatments per day. Heal your Shin Splints fast You should spread your treatments out throughout the day since the effects of each 20 minute treatment last for up to 4 hours. This way you'll be receiving optimum blood flow at all times. An ideal treatment regimen would be one treatment first thing in the morning, another treatment in the afternoon, a treatment in the evening and the last treatment of the day right before bed.


    While the promotion of blood flow has obvious benefits, the reminder of the injury is also incredibly important. The reminder of the injury is what helps you move with care so you don't end up overdoing it and re-injuring yourself. Avoiding re-injury is fundamental to rapid recovery. That's why we recommend that you keep wearing your BFST® device between treatments. It's designed to be worn even when turned off to help protect your shin from re-injury. This will go a long way towards shortening your recovery time.


    Blood Flow Is Essential For Healing


    You can stop the pain and keep doing your regular activities. All you need is the right treatment. You need to stimulate blood flow to heal your Shin Splints. You need Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®).


    BFST® Wraps bring nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood to your injury. This increase in blood flow works to actively heal your damaged tissues. Blood flow is the most critical element in rapid recovery. Unfortunately, an injured shin at rest often has very restricted blood flow. While physical activity stimulates blood flow, it can also lead to re-injury and a lengthened recovery time. BFST® Wraps are the ideal solution. They're designed to speed up the healing process while you're at rest. This means you can receive the additional blood flow you need to heal and avoid re-injury at the same time.


    Complete the Healing Process


    Yoga Group

    You need to keep doing BFST® treatments even after the pain is gone, because the pain ends long before you've finished healing. The entire healing process is very complex and takes much longer than most people realize. (You can click here for the full story.) The key thing to remember is that long after the pain stops, your Shin Splints are still healing. This means you need to continue doing BFST® treatments in order to complete the healing process. Doing regular BFST® treatments for several months after the pain is gone is extremely beneficial. Do a BFST® treatment prior to any physical activity to warm up your circulatory system. You should also continue taping your Shin Splints to prevent the risk of re-injury.

    Combination Therapy
    BFST® + ColdCure® + KB Tape


    BFST® for Rapid Healing
    ColdCure® for Pain & Swelling
    KB Tape to Prevent Re-Injury

    Combination Therapy means using ColdCure® and BFST® in combination by alternating treatments, as well as using KB Support Tape between your treatments. Combination Therapy is much more effective than using just one product or the other. This is because you're getting the pain and swelling relief of ColdCure®, the healing benefits of BFST®, and the protection and re-injury prevention of KB Support Tape, resulting in the absolute best treatment for your Shin Splints.


    Step 1


    Use the ColdCure® Wrap several times a day to help reduce not only the visible swelling you may see on the surface, but also the inflammation you may have and cannot see, deep down in the soft tissue.


    Combination Therapy is Colcure and BFST

    Step 2


    Avoid using the BFST® Wrap until your inflammation and swelling has subsided. Start your BFST® treatments on Level 1. For maximum benefit, please take into consideration that each 20 minute treatment optimizes your blood circulation for an average of 4 hours. We recommend 3-4 treatments daily, spread throughout the day. During the day, do a BFST® treatment every 4 hours or before any type of physical activity. This can include anything that puts a strain on the injured area (running, jumping, etc). This can also be used for preventative measures after a full recovery to optimize your blood flow.


    Step 3


    Do a ColdCure® treatment any time you experience a pain flare-up or after any physical activity to prevent further injury and reduce swelling and inflammation. 30-45 minutes after your ColdCure® treatment, follow with another BFST® treatment. This time will allow the blood flow and body temperature to regulate again. Refrain from using ColdCure® within the 4 hours following your 20 minute BFST® treatment. This will counteract the treatment. If necessary, use the ColdCure® Wrap for pain control, then follow up with another BFST® treatment.


    Step 4


    Any time you're not doing a BFST® or ColdCure® treatment, wear KB Support Tape on your Shin Splints. More Tape means more support, so if you're doing something physically demanding, you may want to apply an extra layer of Tape. If you're taping and doing multiple BFST® treatments throughout the day, do your first BFST® treatment before the Tape is applied and your last treatment after it has been removed at the end of the day.

    Medical Function - ColdCure® Wrap - Extreme Pain Relief



    Leg ColdCure® Wrap

    ColdCure® Wraps are FDA Registered Class I medical devices. They exceed all government and health agency regulatory requirements for cold therapy, specifically for use in treating soft tissue injuries like Shin Splints. When applied, ColdCure® Wraps immediately reduce the risk of further damage from excessive swelling. Doctors and Therapists agree that controlling swelling is a fundamental part of reducing long-term permanent damage resulting from soft tissue injuries.


    ColdCure® RigiGel® packs are much safer and more effective than ice and products that use mushy blue gel. Why? Because RigiGel® packs are like ice, but they stay at 0°C. While they may start at about -20°C straight from the freezer, after a few minutes they will go to 0°C and stay at 0°C for a long time. This is the ideal temperature for cold therapy, because it's cold enough to relieve your pain and swelling, but safe enough to not cause cold burns. ColdCure Safe Temperature Ice and blue gel packs will also start out at -20°C and rapidly go to 0°C, but then their temperature will keep rising quickly, instead of staying in the safe, effective zone of 0°C. The XC Gel® danger zone is very small, but the benefits are huge.


    While XC Gel® packs are designed to be stored in the freezer, you can store them in the fridge if you find them too cold from the freezer. Not all freezers are the same. If you find that the gel is too stiff from the freezer, leave it out for 1-2 minutes before inserting it inside the wrap. When the pack is soft enough to bend, it's ready to use for treatment.


    King Brand Cold Cure Wrap

    Many people use the RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation - method when treating a soft tissue injury like Shin Splints. What most of these people probably don't realize is that using ice can be very dangerous. The truth is that ice can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing 'cold burns' and even permanent damage to your skin and underlying tissue. The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression & Elevation. We don't want to apply ice, we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold, and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.


    XC Gel® packs provide the best in coverage and cold power. They contain 10x more gel per lb than other products, for complete coverage of your Shin Splints. When stored in the freezer, our XC Gel® packs have
    3x more cooling power per lb than other products. This means faster, more effective relief of your pain and swelling. It also means you won't have to get up to switch gel packs as often.


    Coldcure gel wrap coverage zone

    ColdCure® gel packs are custom designed for the shape of the body part you're targeting. This means you always get an even distribution of cooling power over your Shin Splints. We don't just use one generic gel pack shape for all of our products. Each body part is uniquely shaped, which is why our gel packs are uniquely shaped too. This ensures the best treatment and coverage possible. This product was 100% designed to treat Shin Splints.



    Unique XC RigiGel® Formula


    While regular gel packs have hot and cold spots, our gel packs have an evenly balanced cold temperature. Our unique
    XC RigiGel® formula eliminates hot spots by distributing the cold energy evenly throughout the pack. This means your injury will receive the cooling power of the entire gel pack during every treatment. The amazing temperature-balancing power of XC RigiGel® can only be found in a ColdCure® Wrap.


    XC Gel® packs have 2 different colored sides: a white side and a gold side. Both sides have all the same benefits that our outstanding XC RigiGel® formula has to offer! XC Gel® packs can be inserted inside the pack with the white side facing towards your injury or away from your injury since they're not side specific.



    Medical Function - BFST® Wrap - Accelerated Healing




    BFST® Wraps are Class II FDA Registered medical devices. They comply with hundreds of pages of regulations and standards that are in place to keep you safe and ensure effective treatments. BFST® devices are designed and tested to extremely high standards of quality, safety and performance. Consumer grade products aren't - because they're not FDA Registered.


    The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy® (BFST®) Wrap is designed to promote blood flow in injured tissue below the dermal (fat and skin) layer. Utilizing our proprietary Energy Web®, specially controlled and incredibly safe, low levels of EMR energy envelop the your Shin Splints and stimulate blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath the skin. The resulting blood flow brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured area, accelerating the healing process.


    BFST Power Controller

    BFST® Wraps come with a 3 level power controller. Everyone should start their treatments at Level 1 and work their way through the levels gradually as their Shin Splints heal. Proceeding immediately to Level 2 or 3 will not speed up the healing process. You need to condition the body first.


    During your first treatments on Level 1, you may feel a slight warming sensation deep within your shin. This is because, at first, your circulation is poor. The more treatments you do, the better your circulation will become, and the less warmth you will feel. This is good. As the warmth lessens from treatment to treatment, this is an indication that your circulation is improving. Better circulation means blood flow all the time, not just during treatments. This is the goal. When you feel almost no warmth during a treatment, it is time to move up to the next power level. Don't rush it though, more heat doesn't mean better treatment. In fact, less heat means better treatment, so take your time moving up in levels.

    BFST® Wraps are far superior to heating pads. BFST® Wraps work to actively heal your tissue damage. Heating pads can't do this. BFST® Wraps stimulate healthy blood flow in the area of your injury, deep below the skin. This creates an ideal environment for healing. All heating pads do is bring blood to the surface of your skin, making it hot to the touch. The difference between a BFST® Wrap and a heating pad is huge.


    The Energy Web® of the BFST® Leg device is enclosed inside a soft, comfortable neoprene wrap. The Wrap molds the Energy Web® around your shin to ensure that your Shin Splints receive an even distribution of energy. The Velcro® strap makes it easy to adjust to find the right fit for your body shape. You don't need to remove the BFST® Wrap once your treatment ends. Simply unplug the controller and keep wearing it to act as a reminder of your injury.
