​Golf Injury

Golf injuries often develop gradually and may affect the lower back, neck, shoulders, hips, elbows, or wrists. Symptoms can arise from repeated swings, poor swing mechanics, limited mobility, or inadequate recovery between rounds or practice sessions.

In many cases, golf injuries originate from restricted joint motion, muscular overactivity, and poor movement control throughout the kinetic chain. These mechanical dysfunctions increase stress on specific joints and tissues, eventually leading to pain and decreased performance.
 

Common Contributors to Golf Injuries

Golf injuries often occur when the body is repeatedly exposed to inefficient or overloaded movement patterns. Common contributing factors include:

• Repetitive rotational stress from the golf swing

• Limited mobility in the hips, spine, or shoulders

• Poor swing mechanics or movement sequencing

• Muscle tightness or imbalances

• Inadequate warm-up or recovery

• Previous musculoskeletal injuries

• Overuse from frequent play or practice

Golfers of all skill levels may experience injuries when movement inefficiencies are left unaddressed.
 

Symptoms Commonly Associated with Golf Injuries

Individuals experiencing golf-related injuries may notice:

• Lower back or neck pain

• Shoulder, elbow, or wrist discomfort

• Hip stiffness or reduced rotational mobility

• Pain that worsens during or after play

• Decreased swing power or consistency

Ongoing symptoms can interfere with training, performance, and enjoyment of the game, both on and off the course.
 

How Golf Injuries Are Treated at Ramar Chiropractic & Rehab

Golf injury treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation of posture, joint mobility, strength, and movement mechanics related to the golf swing. Care is designed to restore efficient movement and reduce physical stress during play.

Customized treatment plans may include:

• Chiropractic care to restore joint mobility in the spine and extremities

• Hands-on soft tissue techniques to reduce muscle tension

• Physical therapy exercises to improve strength, stability, and rotational control

• Golf-specific movement and mobility training

• Dry needling, Class IV laser therapy, or electrical stimulation, when appropriate

• Education on warm-up routines, recovery strategies, and injury prevention

By addressing both joint function and muscular control, our approach helps reduce pain while supporting improved performance.
 

A Movement-Based, Integrated Approach

Golf injuries rarely result from a single cause. Lasting improvement requires addressing mechanical restrictions and movement inefficiencies throughout the body. Our combined chiropractic and physical therapy model goes beyond symptom relief by targeting the underlying contributors to golf injuries and promoting healthier movement patterns over time.
