For Golfers with Arthritis, Glucosamine May Hasten Return to the Green: Dr. Kevin Plancher Discusses Role of Glucosamine & Chondroitin for Active Boomers
Golf is thought to be a gentleman's (or gentlewoman's) game, refined and stress-free. Yet, in reality, golf puts a strain on virtually every major joint in the body. The shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and back are all 'power points' in every golf swing, and repeating those swings dozens of times each week can lead to overuse injuries -- a leading precursor to arthritis for the active Baby Boomers who enjoy the game.
Pitcher's Poison
Rotator cuff shoulder injuries in sports are usually a result of microtrauma from repetitive movements. For competitive or recreational athletes involved in baseball, tennis, or swimming, shoulder disorders – especially rotator cuff injuries – can be debilitating and cause significant disabilities. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and treatment can improve symptoms profoundly.
