Why You Should Consider Chiropractic Care for Golf Injuries
Golf is a sport that demands precision, flexibility, and strength. However, the repetitive motions and physical demands can sometimes lead to injuries, affecting your performance and overall well-being. At Merivale Chiropractic and Massage Clinic in Ottawa, we offer specialised care to help golfers recover from injuries and enhance their game.
Common Golf Injuries
Golfers often experience injuries due to the sport's repetitive nature and the significant forces involved in swings. Common issues include:
- Lower Back Pain – The rotational forces during a golf swing can strain the lower back muscles and spine.
- Golfer's Elbow – Overuse of the forearm muscles can lead to pain and inflammation on the inner side of the elbow.
- Shoulder Injuries – The repetitive swinging motion can cause rotator cuff strains or impingements.
- Knee Pain – The pivoting action during swings can put stress on the knee joints, leading to discomfort or injury.
- Neck Pain – Poor posture, improper swing mechanics, or sudden jerking motions can lead to stiffness and discomfort in the neck.
How Merivale Chiropractic and Massage Clinic Can Assist
Our clinic provides a multidisciplinary approach to address golf-related injuries effectively:
- Chiropractic Care – Our chiropractors utilise techniques such as Diversified, Koren Specific, Thompson Technique, and tool-assisted adjustments to realign the spine and joints, reducing pain and improving mobility.
- Massage Therapy – Targeted massage helps alleviate muscle tension, enhance circulation, and promote faster healing of strained muscles.
- Acupuncture – This ancient practice can reduce inflammation and pain, aiding in the recovery process.
Personalised Treatment Plans
Understanding that each golfer's needs are unique, we develop individualised treatment plans focusing on immediate strategies to alleviate discomfort and providing strengthening and stretching routines to restore function and prevent future injuries. We also use techniques aimed at improving flexibility, strength, and your overall golf performance.
