They may recommend: 1. *X-rays or imaging tests*: To rule out any fractures or other underlying conditions. 2. *Physical therapy*: To help improve mobility, strength, and flexibility in the affected leg. 3. *Customized rehabilitation plan*: To ensure a safe and effective return to sports. *Recovery and Prevention* 1. *Gradual return to activity*: Once cleared by your doctor, gradually return to football and other physical activities to avoid re-injury. 2. *Wear proper gear*: Always wear shin guards and other protective gear during football games and practices. 3. *Strengthen your legs*: Engage in exercises that strengthen your leg muscles, particularly the anterior tibialis muscle, to help prevent future injuries.
