One of the unfortunate things about playing golf is that spine injuries can be quite common if you�re not careful. In many ways, this shouldn�t be entirely surprising when you consider the strain you put on your back and neck when you swing a golf club. Ultimately, you are rotating on an axis, twisting your shoulders, hips, and back, and then uncorking the pent up tension to explode through the golf ball. In other words, it isn�t a natural movement. Plus, when you think about how many times you swing a club during the course of 18 holes of golf, the extent of the wear and tear can become more prevalent. So how can you reduce the likelihood of hurting your back and neck while playing a round of golf with your friends?
The first thing to understand is that back and neck pain can develop two ways from golfing. For starters, the most common reason that you might be experiencing discomfort in your spine after a round of golf is that you slightly injured yourself by pulling a muscle, straining a ligament, or tweaking something. This is entirely normal and something that just about everyone deals with from time to time in their lives. Generally speaking, treatment for a minor golf-related injury can be done at home and usually entails the use of over-the-counter painkillers or anti-inflammatories, the use of ice to reduce swelling or heat to promote healing, and taking it easy for a few days.
Alternatively, being a golfer can also contribute to the onset of a variety of degenerative spine conditions. Over the years, as we grow older, the anatomical elements that support the back and neck naturally begin to wear down. The intervertebral discs that cushion the spine deteriorate, the vertebral joints that connect adjacent vertebrae become arthritic, the spinal canal becomes constricted, and other forms of deterioration occur. The problem with being an active golfer is that the strain that the golf swing puts on the body � to say nothing of the burden of lifting and carrying a heavy golf bag � can accelerate this degeneration, potentially exacerbating problems. Furthermore, individuals who already struggle with a herniated disc, facet disease, or another degenerative spine condition may be dissuaded from golfing for similar reasons.
In order to help limit your back and neck pain after playing a round of golf, it is important that you exercise proper precaution both before and while golfing. For starters, stretch thoroughly before golfing, and if you start to feel tight while you�re playing, take time out to loosen back up. Drink plenty of fluids, as well, to avoid dehydration. And above all else, don�t overdo it. Odds are good you aren�t trying to qualify for the PGA Tour so just have fun out there.
To learn more about how to practice good spine health and avoid problems stemming from your weekend golfing, speak with your doctor or a spine specialist in your area. You�ll be glad that you did. Golfing can be great exercise and a fantastic release, but you don�t want to put yourself in harm�s way needlessly.
