Using Calf, Thigh & Shin Supports For Baseball Injuries

Baseball batters are required to frequently make sharp sprints from one base to the next and players can also do plenty of sprinting in the outfield. Sprinting can also cause acute injuries to the shins in much the same way as it can with other running intensive sports. Shin splints are a common result of intensive running and baseball players can fall prey to this condition also. The standard cure for shin splints is rest. However, a player can augment this by the use of shin supports. Wearing shin supports for baseball related injuries like shin splints will help players recover more rapidly from their injuries and get back in the game sooner.
As with all types of orthopedic supports, the best shin supports for baseball players are light and low profile. They are easy to wear under clothing and so will provide continuous pain relief. They will supply compression to the injured area and promote the healing process. Probably the best example of this is the Bio Skin Compression Shin Splint.
The sharp sprinting and stopping that baseball batters in particular have to do can also sometimes result in thigh or calf strains. Recovery from these injuries again requires rest. However, the player can promote the healing process by wearing a calf or thigh support to stabilize the injured structures. As with baseball shin supports, doing so will reduce the risk of re-injury during the healing process. Unlike baseball shin supports, however, the typical calf or thigh support used in baseball will be a sleeve that covers the injured area. It will provide therapeutic compression for pain relief and faster recovery.
Other Injury Avoidance Strategies
To reduce the risk of injury in the first place, baseball players may emphasize off season training to remain in top condition. Warming up before games, as well as cooling down after them, will also help to reduce the incidence of calf, thigh or shin injuries. If successful, these strategies may actually make it unnecessary to ever have to wear calf, thigh or shin supports for baseball related injuries.
