Support for Everyone Experiencing Shin Splints
Shin splints cause pain along the front or inside of your lower leg, usually during or after exercise. The pain often feels dull and achy at first but can get sharp if the problem gets worse. It’s common in people who run, jump, or walk a lot—especially if they’ve just increased how much they’re doing.
Shin splints happen when the muscles and tissues around your shinbone get overworked. This can happen if your shoes don’t support you well, if you’re running on hard surfaces, or if your legs aren’t strong or balanced. When these tissues get tired or tight, they pull on the bone and cause swelling and irritation.
At Kinetic Chiropractic in Lehi, UT, we treat shin splints by helping calm down the irritated tissue, improving how your muscles work, and teaching you how to move better. Our care might include hands-on muscle work, rehab exercises, and techniques like cupping or taping to help you feel better and stay active.

Soft Tissue Therapies (Scraping, Cupping, ART)
Soft Tissue Therapies (Scraping, Cupping, ART)
These hands-on techniques target tight muscles in the calves and along the shin to reduce tension and improve blood flow. This helps relieve the stress pulling on the shinbone and speeds up healing.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave sends sound waves into the irritated tissue to promote circulation and tissue repair. It’s especially helpful for stubborn shin splints that aren’t improving with rest or stretching alone.
Rehab and Supportive Techniques (Adjustments, Taping, Exercises)
Rehab and Supportive Techniques (Adjustments, Taping, Exercises)
We use specific exercises to strengthen weak areas, improve foot and ankle mechanics, and prevent overuse. Taping and gentle joint adjustments can provide extra support and balance as your body heals.

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of knowing Dr. Kakishita both as a chiropractor and a friend. He was a stellar intern at my chiropractic practice in Denver, CO, and during that time, he consistently demonstrated exceptional clinical skill, professionalism, and compassion for every patient he encountered. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is the kind of provider every patient hopes to find — kind, knowledgeable, and truly committed to helping people feel their best. Whether you’re dealing with a car accident injury, a sports-related issue, or everyday aches and pains, Dr. Kakishita is the chiropractor you want in your corner. You won’t find a better one within miles of Lehi.

Dr. Kakishita provides exceptional care with remarkable attention to detail. I initially became his patient at his previous practice, and when I learned he had opened his own clinic, I immediately looked for him. His outstanding treatment has significantly improved my mobility and reduced my pain. His unique approach and genuine concern for patient wellness make him stand out in his field. I've experienced consistent progress under his care and wouldn't trust my spinal health to anyone else. He is highly recommended for anyone seeking quality chiropractic treatment.

Dr. K is an amazing chiropractor!! I was dealing with a lot of lower back and hip pain and he worked with me for months and gave me exercises and stretches I could do at home in addition to what he could do in office. He made me feel important like I was the only patient he was working with and was truly concerned with my well being and in helping me get back to running and moving like I had in the past. Definitely recommend him and the treatment he does!!

I can’t recommend Dr. Andrew at Kinetic Chiropractic enough! Unlike other chiropractors who rush you in and out with a quick two-minute adjustment, Andrew truly takes the time to understand your pain and address the root cause of the issue. From the very first visit, he was incredibly thorough—asking the right questions, assessing my mobility, and developing a plan tailored to my needs. He doesn’t just do a basic adjustment and send you on your way; he goes the extra mile by incorporating muscle work, mobility exercises, and practical advice to help you heal and prevent future issues. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and wants to see long-term improvements, not just temporary relief. If you’re looking for a...

Dr. Kakishita has been great! I appreciate that he really listens and tries to get to the root of the problem rather than just giving me a generic adjustment. I also really appreciate the exercises he gives me to help me strengthen whatever areas are giving me issues. He’s personable and genuinely interested in each patient. I would definitely recommend him!

Dr. Kakishita is hands down the best chiropractor I’ve been to. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and explained everything in a way that made sense. I never felt rushed—he was thoughtful, thorough, and you can tell he truly knows what he’s doing. During my visit, he didn’t just do a quick adjustment and send me on my way. He adjusted me, did scraping on my back, used shockwave therapy on my arm, and put on tape to help with recovery. He also offers ice packs though I didn’t take one for my visit. He came up with a personalized treatment plan and shared it with me so I knew exactly what to expect moving forward. A lot of chiropractors feel like they’re just trying to get you in and out—but Dr. Kakishita is different. He...

I get terrible migraines that last for days. I went a chiropractor and he knocked my pain level to bearable. That sold me on chiropractic care. Dr. K is able to adjust my back and neck well. I'm not an easy adjust. Highly recommend him!
