Treatment For Golf Injuries (2)
(5) DeQuervain's Tendinitis
Symptons:
Pain, swelling, and tenderness at the wrist near the base of the thumb. Pain typically occurs at the left wrist at the top of the backswing.
Treatments:
Among the possible treatments are: Rest, medication, thumb spica splinting, therapy, cortisone, surgery.
Do:
Avoid excessive cocking of the left wrist at the top of the backswing.
Don't:
Release the hands prematurely at the top of the backswing (casting maneuver).
Note: Arthritis at the base of the thumb will produce symptoms very similar to those of DeQuervain's tendinitis. Your doctor can differentiate the two conditions by performing a careful physical exam and getting X-rays of the thumb.
(6) Knee Pain
Knee pain includes:
• Torn meniscus
• Knee arthritis (osteoarthritis)
• Kneecap pain (chondromalacia)
Symptoms:
Pain, clicking, swelling of the knee aggravated by twisting, squatting, and walking.
Treatments:
Among the possible treatments are: Rest, medication, arthroscopic surgery (meniscus tear), total joint replacement surgery (severe arthritis), injection treatments, bracing, therapy.
Do:
• Consider switching to spikeless shoes to reduce twisting stresses on the knees.
• Focus on practice and play with short golf irons while recuperating from a knee injury (or surgery), to minimize stress on the knees.
Don't:
• Return to full swinging prematurely after knee injury or surgery—the golf swing (especially when using a golf driver or long irons) places enough stress on the knee to risk re-injury.
(7) Trigger Finger
Symptoms:
Painful locking and snapping of the finger.
Treatments:
Among the possible treatments are: Cortisone, surgery.
Do:
• Use a glove to pad the more susceptible left hand.
• Make sure that club handle grips are replaced as needed, or consider larger/softer grips.
• Reduce grip pressure on the club handle.
• Avoid the strong grip position by rotating the left hand counterclockwise.
(8) Minor Detection
Wrist Impaction Syndrome
Symptoms:
Pain and tenderness on the top of the wrist, usually on the right side at the top of the backswing.
Treatments:
Among the possible treatments are: Rest, splinting, cortisone, or, rarely, surgery.
Do:
Slow down the backswing to minimize right wrist extension at the top of the backswing.
ECU Tendon Subluxation
Symptoms:
Painful clicking in the wrist near the knobby bump at the end of the ulna bone.
Treatments:
Among the possible treatments are: Casting, surgery to repair the torn tendon sheath.
Do:
Avoid taking fat shots and stay away from rocks, roots, etc.
Hamate Bone Fracture
Symptoms:
Pain and tenderness in left palm, numbness in ring and pinky fingers.
Treatments:
Among the possible treatments are: Surgery, casting.
Do:
Make sure that your clubs are fitted properly so that the butt end of the club extends beyond the fleshy pad on the pinky-side of the left hand.
Don't:
Take fat shots or swing at balls near rocks, roots, or other obstructions.
