In addition to treatment of this.....If this is your first time experiencing shin bang or it continuously occurs, never heat the area of pain. Meaning, no hot packs, hot tubs, or hydrocollator packs. As shin bang causes active inflammation of the tibia and associated musculature, heating the are will only perpetuate symptoms. Ice ice ice. This coming from myself, a DPT.

I don't have a degree in that stuff, but I was under the impression that ice isn't good for injuries of any sort? I thought it was more of an improvised pain relief that does nothing else but relief pain. I looked up the RICE-method when I sprained my ankle, and even the guy who came up with that stuff said that using ice just delays recovery.

Ice will slow down any sort of action happening in your body, so at the beginning it will slow down the inflammation which is good but it’s like if you but your bread in the fridge, it slows down the process of it getting moldy, so if you ice your shins after the inflammation period then your slowing down the recovery

Ice will prevent any additional edema, which will decrease pressure on nerves. Yes ice will not "heal" shin bang, but it will help with the pain and the processes that cause pain. Ice is very helpful when used correctly.
Again as I previously stated, it depends on the severity and length of time that your shinbang has been occurring. If your shinbang is acute, heat will not be your friend.
