Improper running without proper warm up is most common cause leading to shin pains. For reducing it always do proper warm up and start with jogging and once your body is comfortable with it start with running gradually once you build your stamina. And wear proper running shoes. In severe pain will advice you to take rest for a while then again start with all precautions.

Shin splints are Self limiting (I.e. They can heal on their own). To control the pain, you can try ice application 3 to 4 times a day, 15 to 20 minutes each time. If you?re using ice cubes are frozen ice, please cover it with a towel and a place on the area where you have pain. Please wear comfortable shoes while walking particularly if you?re walking regularly on hard surfaces like concrete. Avoid activities such as running or jumping until the pain improves. If the pain doesn?t improve at all after 2 weeks then consider seeing a physician for prescription of appropriate pain killers and at that point it may not be a bad idea to get an x-ray to rule out any fracture.
