Golf Foot and Ankle Injuries
Although golf doesn’t involve running or jumping, golf foot and ankle injuries do occur. Golf related foot and ankle injuries can occur either from a traumatic event or more commonly from overuse type injuries. Golfers should be aware of the following risks:
- Heel pain (or plantar fasciitis) can be exacerbated by excessive walking on the golf course.
- The golf swing can also place stress upon the feet and ankles. Common complaints are especially noted to the ball of the foot that pivots to help drive the golf club through the swing. The stress on the ball of the foot can cause capsulitis of the second toe, neuromas, and increased pain in the great toe joint (often hallux
rigidus ).
