Hello,
Compression therapy is recommended by many for shin splints. Result of course, will vary on a case by case basis.
Compression helps to limit swelling within the injured area. As a result, you may experience pain relief, as both swelling and pain are interconnected. The compression should be applied concurrently with the cold treatment. Be aware that compression should not be so tight that it cuts off circulation completely, nor too loose to allow for further swelling. As mentioned previously, cold therapy should not be utilized on a continual basis during the initial stages of an injury. You can substitute the utilization of concurrent cold compression therapy by applying a dry, elastic type wrap, preferably a cloth based solution that will provide good comfort. When not utilizing cold therapy, substitute with the dry compression wrap.
