I suffered from shin splints for a while last year, I was advised to take Ascorbic Acid, which is nothing mor than powdered Vitamin C. Trust me - it works. I done lots of exercises too but found nothing made as much difference as the Ascorbic Acid did, i now dont have to do any exercises and when i feel my shines hurting i just take some of the powder with water and im fine in a day!

I would not recommend that you do any shock orientated exercises without adequate footwear. Stability exercises working on slow specific movements is more suitable to allow your foot / ankle to work throught the correct proprioceptive channels, but anything that involves sudden weight bearing through one or more limb will increase the stress to the shin.

By taking Ascorbic Acid, it's only a temporary aid. Find the main root of shin splits. It's mostly muscle related, so obviously your muscles (tibalis anterior) is weak, meaning all the muscles around it would be fired off. Strengthen those muscles with dorsal/plantar flexion and rub it's insertion and origin's point to relieve some stress.

Generally shin splints is a result of over training to the current level of physical fitness or just overtraining and not necessarily weakness of the low leg muscle complexes - the stresses are too great for the low leg to effectively use. Therefore strengthening is not the issue but reduction of volume and intensity of training is.
