Maybe its because I am bias toward my own profession, but I would recommend seeing a PT as opposed to a chiropractor since PTs are typically more trained to look beyond the spine and pelvis, but there are great chiropractors out there that could provide great treatment. I did notice that your e-mail is at Temple and that you are located in Philadelphia. I happen to work north of Philadelphia in Langhorne, PA (about 20 minutes) if you would care to come by the clinic, I know it is a hike. Please contact me if you are interested. Now, back to the injury...
If I may ask, where in your shin does it hurt? (front, inside, outside, back, etc.) Because depending on the location it may be different things that are resulting in the pain. Second, is the pain sharp, dull, achey, feels like sore muscles, like someone struck a match on you, etc.? And, is there are particular area you can touch that can mimic the pain you get after running or dead lifts?
If you do have pronated feet, then I would recommend a good running shoe first before spending the money on orthotics. Running shoes are designed for support of different types of feet with the greatest cushioning and support.
Hope that some of this information is helpful and I wish you a speedy recovery.
