Can Botox Be Used for Shin Splints?

Question

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

Treating shin splints with cosmetic Botox isn't practiced in our facility-and isn't something I've read or ever heard of. Rest is what I would recommend.

Hratch Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

There is no scientific articles that suggests that Botox can be used for shin splints. i suspect it would be prohibitively expensive and not necessary. Leg rest and orthotics and RARELY surgery helps

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

I cannot see this being a good idea, not to mention the cost would be outrageous! Ice, compress, and rest is what I'd recommend.
