Common Golf Injuries and How SoftWave Therapy Helps You Swing Pain-Free in Calgary at Natural Way Chiropractic

Golf may appear low-impact, but the biomechanics of swinging a club place significant stress on the body—especially the shoulders, elbows, spine, hips, and wrists. Whether you're a competitive player, weekend golfer, or just returning to the game, injuries can limit performance and enjoyment on the course.

Fortunately, SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is now available in Calgary at Natural Way Chiropractic, where Dr. Kale Matovich is helping golfers recover faster, play longer, and prevent chronic injury—without injections, surgery, or downtime.

Common Golf Injuries We See in the Clinic

1. Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Irritation and degeneration of the tendons on the inside of the elbow from repetitive wrist flexion during swings.

2. Rotator Cuff Strains and Tears

Overuse or poor swing mechanics can damage the rotator cuff, leading to pain, weakness, and limited shoulder mobility.

3. Lumbar Spine Strain and Disc Issues

Rotational stress during the golf swing can lead to lower back pain, disc herniation, or muscle strain.

4. Hip Flexor and Gluteal Tendon Pain

Forceful rotation and weight transfer can strain the hips, leading to tendinitis or hip joint irritation.

5. Wrist Tendonitis and Sprains

Strong grip force and impact with the ground can irritate the wrist joints, tendons, and ligaments.

6. Knee Strain and Cartilage Irritation

The lead knee in the golf swing absorbs torque and can develop pain, particularly in golfers with osteoarthritis or a history of injury.

SoftWave Therapy: A Regenerative Solution for Golf Injuries in Calgary!

SoftWave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves—delivered via a broad focused energy shockwave—to stimulate a healing response at the site of pain or injury. It targets muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joints, making it ideal for treating golf-related injuries at their source.

How SoftWave Therapy Heals Golf Injuries

SoftWave initiates a cascade of biological responses that lead to pain reduction, improved mobility, and long-term tissue repair. Key mechanisms include:

  • Angiogenesis (VEGF Activation): Promotes formation of new blood vessels to improve oxygenation and nutrient delivery to injured tissues.

  • Nitric Oxide Release (eNOS): Enhances circulation and supports soft tissue and joint recovery.

  • Stem Cell Activation and Migration: Stimulates your body’s own repair cells to regenerate damaged tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscles.

  • PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen): Supports cellular replication and tissue remodeling at the DNA level.

  • Modulation of Inflammation: Regulates toll-like receptors to reduce chronic inflammation and pain.

  • Removal of Senescent Cells: Clears out aging or damaged cells to make way for new, healthy tissue.

This science-backed regenerative therapy is changing how golfers recover from injuries, stay in the game, and optimize performance—without drugs or invasive treatments.
