Summary

This study tested two treatments for shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) in 22 active adults. One group got deep tissue massage plus exercise, the other got shock wave therapy plus exercise. Both groups also received standard pain relief (TENS). The goal was to see which approach better reduces pain and improves daily function.
