There’s still plenty of time left in the year to break out the clubs, head out to the links, and try your best not to embarrass yourself in front of your friends. A day out on the golf course can be a real joy (even through the frustration), but it becomes much less fun if you’re dealing with an injury. If you follow some steps before, during, and after your game, you’ll be better able to prevent and recover from injuries like golfer’s elbow.

Tips to Prevent an Injury While Playing Golf

GET WARMED UP

If you’re engaging in any kind of prolonged physical activity, you need to make sure that you take time beforehand to stretch. Daily stretching offers a ton of great benefits, including building strength and lowering stress, and it can have a positive impact on your golf game. By keeping your muscles loose and promoting proper circulation, you’ll be better prepared to prevent golfer’s elbow, tightness in your lower back and hips, and other golf-related injuries.

FOCUS ON POSTURE AND FORM

You need to make sure you’re using good form on the golf course, and that doesn’t just mean your swing. Obviously, a proper golf swing will be a big help with preventing an injury like golfer’s elbow or pinched muscle. But you also need to be mindful every time you bend down to pick up your ball and when you carry your clubs. Make sure to bend using your legs and avoid rounding your back, and if possible, use a cart to shoulder the weight of your clubs.

GET TREATMENT TO PREVENT GOLFER’S ELBOW

Whether you’re looking to prevent or recover from golfer’s elbow, Wills Chiropractic can help you get back into the swing of things. Treatment like deep tissue massage, chiropractic adjustments, and personal training can keep you strong and help you ward off golf injuries. And if you’re dealing with a lingering elbow, back, or knee problem, SoftWave stem cell therapy can help expedite recovery so you can return to doing what you love.
