Golf Injury

 Golf injuries often develop gradually due to overuse or poor mechanics rather than a single traumatic event. The most frequent issues include:

• Lower back pain – from rotational stress during swings
• Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) – caused by repeated wrist flexion
• Shoulder strain or rotator cuff injury – from over-rotation and forceful swings
• Wrist and hand pain – due to gripping or impact stress
• Hip or knee discomfort – from rotational torque and uneven weight transfer
   

Even minor limitations in flexibility or strength can impact your performance and increase the risk of injury over time.

Our approach to golf injury management focuses on three key areas:

1. Injury Assessment & Diagnosis
We conduct a thorough evaluation of your musculoskeletal system, including joint mobility, muscle balance, posture, and swing mechanics, to pinpoint the root cause of pain.

2. Targeted Treatment & Rehabilitation
Treatment plans may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, physical therapy exercises, and corrective training to restore function, reduce pain, and improve swing efficiency.

3. Performance Optimization & Prevention
Beyond recovery, we provide individualized exercises and movement strategies to enhance flexibility, strength, and stability—helping golfers prevent future injuries and maximize performance.
