Golf Related Pain
To play golf well, a
healthy full-functioning body is a necessity
since
injuries hurt performance. The most common
injuries golfers experience are low back,
wrist, elbow, and shoulder pain. The
National Golf Fitness Society
developed a list of do’s and don’ts for
golfers to help reduce the chance of
injury.
The first recommendation is to choose the
right equipment. The clubs you use
should fit your height. Clubs that are too
short can put significant strain on
your low back. Your shoes should be
correctly fitted too. Improperly fitted
shoes can hurt your swing and your back.
Another recommendation is to take
lessons. Having a pro help you with your
swing will not only help your score but also
help correct any negative impact that an
incorrect swing is having on your back.
Another recommendation is to make sure you
warm up and stretch before each round.
Warming up gets blood flowing to your
muscles and stretching loosens up the
muscles you will be using. Drinking lots of
water is important too while playing golf.
Water is necessary for replacing lost fluids
in the body and hydrating spinal joints and
muscles.
A final recommendation would be chiropractic
adjustments. Improper swing,
improper club size, improper shoes, and the
repetitive action of golf can cause spinal
bones to become misaligned, putting pressure
on nerves running through your spinal cord.
Through gentle manipulation, chiropractic
can realign the bones, relieving the
pressure on the nerves and opening the flow
of nerve energy.
If you are experiencing pain playing golf, a
visit to the chiropractor can help.
Even if you are not experiencing any pain, a
visit to the chiropractor can be a
wise investment in making sure you are
playing at your highest level possible.
