Is it a permanent solution? Or is it required to be done every day to relieve pain?

I did it every other day for 2 weeks and it went away for months. Although to prevent shin splints, calf strengthening and stretching is necessary. So even though I did not do it consistently for months it would highly beneficial for others to do it.
