I'd like to know if anyone has found any other treatment methods for healing shin bang other than

-anti inflammatory drugs
-ice
-not skiing for a while (I hate this one)

or any prevention methods other than

-getting boots that fit (a no- brainer)
-wearing boots tight
-not landing back seat (impossible if you're trying new tricks)
-getting better socks
-getting a footbed
-buying fulltilts (-k to anyone who recommends this-IT'S NOT A FIX)
-getting booster straps (i have them, they help a little but not much)

+K for new ideas
-K for hate, or posting one of my already mentioned "Old Ideas"

In all reality, I’ve had shin bang forever. The only thing that really helps is to stop jibbing and ski my billy goats. They’re long, supportive, stuff, and they make you drive them. Fatter skis usually help, park skis are the worst. I honestly don’t know how these guys can land back seat so much and not get shin bang.

i think this is a decent write up on it

long story short, it's pain in the shin that skiers get sometimes from skiing and landing backseat, casing jumps, or boot issues

Destroy your nerve endings from your shins so you cant feel a thing.

Eliminator pads and compression socks. Someone might have already said that though

They worked for a bit, but after three days of ripping slushy bumps, I still get shin bang. Going to invest in a new set of boots next season, along with calf raises to try to enlarge my lower legs. Better boots were not affordable to me before, and now I should be able to drop money on boots and proper boot fitting.
