Common Golf Injuries

While a golf swing focuses on a few key points of the body, golfers can experience health complications just about anywhere in the body. Common golf injuries include the following:

Low Back Pain

A solid golf swing doesn’t put too much pressure on any part of the body. Therefore, a good swing usually doesn’t result in injury. However, the problem is that many golfers don’t have a great swing or have a swing that uses a certain body part more often than others. Golfers experience back pain more regularly due to the fact that a golf swing twists the back, which is sometimes done very aggressively.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is another injury that many golfers have dealt with. This happens because a golf swing puts a lot of stress on your shoulders, especially the rotator cuff. While shoulder injuries can happen frequently because of a poor swing, shoulder injuries can also occur from weak muscles or by not stretching properly. If you’re experiencing shoulder pain, try to focus on proper form and be sure to treat your injury correctly before stepping back out on the course.

Elbow Complications

Another common injury that golfers experience is complications in the elbow. You can sustain an elbow injury due to repetitive stress, poor warmup, and improper hitting. If you constantly experience this type of pain during a round of golf, try to focus on proper swinging techniques while you’re practicing. It’s also important to give your elbow adequate rest and try seeing a chiropractor if this pain continues.
