What Are Common Golf Sports Injuries?
Like all sports, golf can lead to some serious sports injuries. Common golf sports injuries may include:
- Rotator cuff tears, which are muscle tears that form in the shoulder region (or rotator) area. These are extremely painful and can occur due to overuse or a sudden movement.
- Shoulder pain due to tendonitis, which is an inflammation of the tendons surrounding the shoulder area
- Back pain in the upper and lower areas of the back. While swinging a club, you use almost every muscle of the back, which can lead to soreness and possible injuries if not swinging properly
- Knee pain, which is caused by placing too much pressure on the knee during a golf swing. Golf fields are also large, and walking long distances with pre-existing knee pain can worsen your condition
- Neck pain caused by excessive twisting during your golf swing
- Wrist injuries that occur due to the heavy weight of the golf club and swinging it improperly
