It is easy to see why so many people have fallen in love with these sports. At the same time, injuries can happen while playing golf and tennis. When this happens, it is important to see a chiropractor in McMurray who has experience dealing with sports injuries. That is where we can help.
Common Injuries Seen During Golf and Tennis
As a chiropractor in the local area, our office has seen a variety of injuries that have taken place during these sports. Some of the most common injuries that we see include:
Low Back Pain: Low back pain is common in both tennis and golf. The twisting rotation of a golf swing can place a lot of stress on the back, leading to injuries. The serving motion in tennis also places stress on the lower back. We know how to look at the back and alter the alignment of the vertebrae to help people with low back injuries.
UCL Sprain: A UCL sprain is common in golf. This type of injury can make it hard for someone to not only grip a golf club properly, but also swing it with any force.
Medial Epicondylitis: This is the term used to describe something commonly known as golfer's elbow. This is inflammation that develops on the inside of the elbow. This happens during the repetitive swinging motion of the golf club. This can lead to pain and swelling. Our team knows how to address this injury quickly.
Lateral Epicondylitis: In many ways the opposite of the prior injury, this is the term used to describe tennis elbow. This is inflammation that develops on the outside of the elbow. This develops due to the repetitive motion of swinging a tennis racket. This can lead to pain and swelling of the elbow. Trust our team to diagnose and treat this injury quickly.
