Golf, as many of us know, is a sport, or pastime, prone to injury. Why? The truth is a lot of unfit folk play the game. Here are eight golf injuries to watch out for and their treatments. Remember not to overdo it out there on the links. Get plenty of rest if you strain something or pull a muscle. Pain killers are not the answer for issues like those set our below. Rest and remedial treatments will serve you better in the long run.

Golfer’s Hip Pain

The hip joint is the largest joint in the human body. We depend upon our hips to turn, walk, bend and so much more. Our mobility is inextricably connected to our functioning hip joints. When we experience hip pain and chronic conditions like this, it makes it very difficult to get on with our lives. Osteoarthritis is, probably, the most prevalent form of hip pain that we see, especially in older Australians. Wear and tear over the years can cause stiffness, inflammation and a degeneration of the joints. There are other causes of hip pain like Sciatica, sports injury, traumatic injuries and other inflammatory diseases. Hip pain can be localised within the hip joint itself or emanate from the structures and ligaments, which surround the joint. Inflammation can trigger hip pain within the joint and outside via the bursa sac. Bursitis is the name for inflammation of either of the bursae within the hip. This type of pain can be particularly bad at night, as it is difficult for the sufferer to avoid lying on the affected hip. Massage and Chiropractic treatments can alleviate and reduce hip pain. In many instances, natural therapies can be a better choice than relying on pharmaceutical pain killers for prolonged periods of your life. Quality of life is, often, best served by a natural solution to chronic conditions like hip pain.

Golf Joint Pain

The human body is comprised of more than three hundred joints. Our joints make possible our wide range of mobility. When we suffer from joint pain, especially in the main joints like the hips, knees, shoulders, elbows and ankles, getting around and doing things becomes much more challenging. Basic moves like getting out of bed in the morning and bending, become painful and problematic. Our joints can wear our over time and this can manifest in conditions like osteoarthritis. Other causes of joint pain can be via sport’s injuries or physical trauma, poor posture, and repetitive strain problems. Physiotherapists and Chiropractors are trained to relieve muscle and joint pain, treat the cause of the joint pain at its source got best results.

Lower Back Pain From Golf

Here areeight golf injuries to watch out for and their treatments. Lower back pain is one of the most debilitating physical impediments that we can suffer from. Our core strength is displaced and movement is, often, extremely painful. The lower vertebrae are responsible for mobility related to the pelvis and into the hips. Nerve pain in the lower back can shoot down into the legs and this is known as Sciatica. One of the more common causes of lower back pain is too much sitting. In today’s world, we spend far too much time seated at work and at home. Inflammation of the facet joints can result in the complete inability to function and sufferers can be temporarily bed ridden. That old golf swing can place a lot of pressure on your lower back, especially if you don’t know how to swing the golf club for your optimal golfing health. Get your back fixed and then get your swing looked over too.

Migraines & Golf

Migraines can be a real pain in the head and are, often, caused by tension in our neck and shoulders. These debilitating attacks can render us helpless in the face of acute pain, which makes carrying on an unlikely reality. Statistics indicate that migraines affect around a billion people globally. You neck and shoulders play a big role in your golf swing. Too much tension can push you over the edge. Head massages, lots of hydration, relaxation and meditation can all assist in relieving migraines.

Neck Pain From Watching Too Much Golf On Screens

Many of us spend an inordinate amount of time staring into screens, be they desktop monitors, laptops or, even, our phones. Our necks and spines get cricked and cramped in all sorts of uncomfortable positions for far too long. We may bang on about the health problems associated with our sedentary lifestyles but they are very real. The neck injury from computer monitor work is an increasingly common condition that we see regularly.

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) Grip Pressure

A Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is no longer an uncommon occurrence in our modern lifestyles and from golf. These work-related musculoskeletal disorders are, often, caused by repetitive tasks, like hitting a lot of range balls. The stress involved in whacking away can result in neck and head injuries, hand, arm and shoulder strains, and back complaints as well. Aching fingers, pulsating pain, and a range of other symptoms are associated with RSI. These can progress to more serious conditions like: carpal tunnel syndrome, oedema, tendinosis, thoracic outlet syndrome, and a cornucopia of related issues. See your GP is rest and recuperation does not improve things. Check out your grip pressure with a teaching pro too.

Eight golf injuries to watch out for and their treatments.

Shallow Breathing & Stress On The Golf Course

Shallow breathing can be caused by a number of factors. Stress, trauma, anxiety, digestion difficulties, back pain, migraine, poor posture and respiratory issues can all result in breathing problems. The sensation of not being able to take a full breath is a disturbing experience and can invite reactive panic attacks by the sufferer. The perceived pressure on the golf course during a competitive round can be dangerous to your health. Breathe deeply and discover The Stoic Golfer!

Rotator Cuff Injuries

“The rotator cuff comprises of the four stabilising muscles in the shoulder. You can end up with an overuse injury such as tendinitis or bursitis, or you may end up with an impingement injury in which the inflammation takes up space in the shoulder meaning that the muscles and tendons are unable to move as freely. To prevent rotator cuff injuries, you should regularly stretch and strengthen your shoulders, and ensure you have correct from while playing.”

“What Price Life? Why is everything so expensive? Is the new book by Robert Sudha Hamilton.

It appears that living is becoming prohibitively expensive and this is not happening by accident.

We are supposed to be living in a democracy but it is actually a 2 speed economy. Many of us are getting left behind, when it comes to the wealth stakes. What can we do about it?:
