Recovering Your Swing: Treating Golf Injuries at Glenwood Sport & Spine

Golf may appear low-impact, but it places unique and repeated stress on the body. From rotational forces during the swing to the prolonged postures of walking and standing, it’s no surprise that many golfers experience pain or injury, especially in the back, shoulders, and elbows. At Glenwood Sport & Spine, we specialize in diagnosing and treating golf-related injuries to help players of all levels return to the course pain-free and performing at their best.

Common Golf Injuries We Treat

• Lower Back Pain: The twisting motion of a golf swing can place significant strain on the lumbar spine. Many golfers experience muscle strains, facet joint irritation, or disc-related issues.
• Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): This overuse injury causes pain on the inside of the elbow due to repetitive gripping and swinging motions.
• Rotator Cuff Strains: The shoulder must be both stable and mobile during a swing. Injuries can result from overuse or improper technique.
• Wrist Injuries: Forceful impact with the ground or repeated swings can lead to tendonitis or ligament strains in the wrists.
• Hip and Knee Pain: Weight transfer during the swing can aggravate preexisting joint conditions or cause new strains in the hips and knees.
