Golf Injury Pain Relief

Although golf has a reputation as being a laid-back and uneventful sport, people who play golf expose themselves to emergency rooms in 2009 as a result of golf-related injuries. Some of the more significant golf injuries include golfer’s elbow and lower back pain, both of which can be safely treated at New York Dynamic Rehabilitation clinic (NYDNRehab).

The most common kind of golf injury is lower back injury, followed by injury to 120 miles per hour; thus it’s no surprise that a recent study of PGA golfers showed that 33 percent had experienced lower back problems for longer than two weeks at a time. Incidentally, the rate of injury is markedly higher in golfers who carry their own bags rather than having them carried by someone else.

Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a condition involving overuse of the flexor muscles in the forearm, the muscles responsible for moving the wrist and forearm and assisting with elbow flexion. This condition is caused by repetitive gripping and swinging that places unnecessary stress on the flexors and the flexor tendon of the medial epicondyle, a bony protrusion on the inner side of the elbow. The majority of wrist flexors are attached toms of golfer’s elbow may include difficulty bending the wrists, along with tenderness and pain in the hands and elbows.

Golf injury treatment varies in some respects depending on the location of the injury. Patients suffering from lower back pain as a result of a golf injury may be encouraged to golfing. Golfer’s elbow is generally treatable with conventional methods such as medication, icing, copious amounts of rest, and stretching and strengthening exercises.
