With golf back in full swing, we want to remind those who play regularly to listen to their bodies! ⛳

Golf is a wonderful game, but it does put awkward pressure and strain on the lower back that can lead to the following injuries if ignored:

Muscle strains - Rough, forceful golf swings or sudden shifts during the downswing can lead to strained muscles.

Muscle and tendon attachment - Excessive muscle use, accidents, or swing irregularities tend to cause this type of injury.

Disc injuries - Swing irregularities aggravate pre-existing disc problems, leading to disc injury.

If you experience any pain during your round, we encourage you to stop playing and give us a call at 210-202-4300 and discuss your pain. We would love to help alleviate that pain and get you back on the course as quickly as possible.
