Many golfers will be inspired to head out onto the fairway as they see their heroes tackle the course in Turnberry at the 138th Open Golf Championship but will be put off playing because of an old injury. Below we have compiled a list of what we have found to be the most common golfing injuries the best products on the market to help.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is normally linked to a medical condition such as diabetes, thyroid disease and gout and is a repetitive stress disorder. Golf is not listed as a direct cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome however the repetitive use of the hands and wrists as seen in golf is certainly seen as a contributing factor. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a relatively common condition that causes pain, numbness and a burning or tingling sensation in your hand and fingers. CTS is one of the most common conditions affecting the nerves of the hand. It is estimated that almost 5% of women and 3% of men have CTS. Most cases of CTS develop in people who are between 45-64 years of age.Products available for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:

Shoulder Pain – Shoulder pain in golfers is very common. The swinging action in golf is traumatic for many joints in the body, including the shoulder joint. One of the solutions to prevent this happening is taking a shorter back swing, though many golfers choose not to do this as they are worried it will affect the distance of the ball off the tee.
