Golf Injury Clinic in Bromley – Expert Diagnosis & Treatment

Golf is often seen as low-impact, but injury rates are higher than expected. Between 15%–40% of amateur golfers experience injury each year, with lifetime injury rates as high as 56%. At Bromley Sports Injury Clinic, we specialise in diagnosing and treating golf-related injuries using Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, helping you return to the green quicker and safer.

​

Why Golfers Get Injured

Key Risk Areas

• Lower back injuries occur in 15%–34% of cases

• Elbow injuries (like golfer’s elbow) in 7%–27%

• Shoulder pain in 4%–19%, often from overuse

• Wrist and hand injuries also common (~10–16%)

 

Why It Happens

Golf involves a repetitive, high-force swing, which can overload the spine, tendons, and joints—especially with poor technique or imbalanced muscle strength.

​

Conditions We Treat

Our Bromley Golf Injury Clinic commonly manages:

• Lower-back pain and lumbar strain

• Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)

• Rotator cuff & shoulder impingement

• Patellar tendon strain & knee pain

• Wrist and forearm overuse injuries

• Joint degeneration (osteoarthritis)

• Bursitis (shoulder, elbow, knee)

​

Advanced Diagnosis with Ultrasound

Clinical exams are useful—but ultrasound offers real-time imaging while you move, showing tendons, bursae, ligaments, and joints clearly.

We use ultrasound to:

• Detect tendinitis, tears, bursitis, arthritis

• Perform dynamic assessment during a golf swing or deep flexion

• Monitor healing progress

• Guide injections precisely, when needed

​

Golf-Specific Rehab & Treatment

Based on your scan and clinical findings, your personalised recovery plan may include:

• Golf-specific biomechanical coaching and swing analysis

• Targeted rehabilitation exercises for core, shoulder, and hips

• Manual therapy, myofascial release, and posture tuning

• Ultrasound-guided injections (e.g., hyaluronic acid)

• Shockwave Therapy

• Load management for returning to play

• Preventive strategies including strength, mobility, and warm-up routines
