While golf may not be as physically demanding as some sports, it does cause its share of injury to the body. The foot and ankle can be injured in any activity that requires movement over uneven terrain, or when un-natural rotation of the foot has to take place. A particularly bothersome injury seen in golf is the development of a pinched nerve in the ball of the foot, also known as a neuroma. This nagging injury can make golfing decidedly not fun, but can have simple solutions for both treatment and prevention.
In my in-progress sports injuries section of my website, I have posted an article discussing this injury as well as treatment options and ways to prevent it from occurring in the first place. Check it out through the link below!
