Common Golf Injuries

Given the aggressive force that we put on our bodies during a golf swing, injuries are common. That’s why it’s important to stretch before you start your round and to not overdo it when you swing. But once you’re dealing with an injury, it’s best to seek proper treatment. Here are some common golf injuries to look out for:

Back Pain

The number one injury in golf, by far, is a back injury. It’s very possible to have an injury in the back if you do an aggressive twisting movement while swinging. In fact, many golfers have dealt with back pain at some point while playing the game. However, it’s important to note that this type of pain is usually a result of an improper swing or swinging too hard. If you want to limit your back pain while playing the game, be sure to practice good mechanics and never swing too aggressive.

Elbow Tendonitis

Elbow tendonitis is a common injury that results from playing golf. This causes soreness and inflammation on the outer or inner tendon of the elbow. Constantly swinging can put more stress on the joints, making the golfer more prone to elbow tendonitis. Limiting your time on the driving range can give your body the good needed rest to prevent this injury. You might also want to try an armband for support.

Shoulder Pain

The repetitive movements involved in a golf swing can lead to a shoulder injury. In fact, players might develop tendinitis, bursitis, or shoulder separation from repetitive motion. Work on improving your swing by not overusing your shoulders. This can reduce the stress on the shoulders.
