Recover faster with non-invasive injury treatments for golfers in Los Angeles.
For golfers, injuries can be both frustrating and disruptive. Although golf is a low-impact sport, it’s not without risks—the repetitive motion of swinging a club can lead to overuse injuries in the lower back, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and knees.
If a golf-related injury is keeping you from performing at your best, Dr. Sheps, D.C., in Brentwood, Los Angeles, offers expert care using manual therapies, targeted rehabilitation, and noninvasive treatments to help you recover safely and get back on the course.
Golf injuries often result from the repetitive motion of the swing, combined with poor technique, overuse, and inadequate conditioning. Most are overuse injuries affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints, commonly in the back, elbows, wrists, and shoulders.
Common golf injuries include lower back pain from rotational stress, golfer’s elbow from repeated gripping, shoulder and rotator cuff strains, wrist tendinitis, knee and hip pain from pivoting, neck strain, and hand or finger injuries from overuse or improper technique.
If not properly treated, they can worsen and limit your ability to stay active or continue training.
Every body is different, so injuries and conditions can affect people in unique ways.

Golf may seem like a low-impact sport, but the repetitive motions and rotational forces involved in each swing can put significant stress on the body. Over time, this can lead to a variety of injuries that affect the back, joints, and upper extremities. Some of the most common golf-related injuries include:

“Dr. Sheps and his laser are miracle workers. I sprained my mcl skiing a few years back and went directly to Dr. Sheps for six consecutive days for laser treatments. I skied Jackson Hole ten days after my accident. Literal miracle. I’ve recommended him to so many people over the years and to a person, they’ve all made huge strides that PT alone just can’t do. I think the highest recommendation is that I drive from East Hollywood across the 405 just to visit him. He’s that good.”
