Foot Notes

Pain Ruining Your Swing?
June 26 , 2007 - Morning Call Article

When your feet aren't in top condition, your golf swing won't be either.

Arthritis can cause pain in the joint of your big toe that makes it difficult to follow-through on your swing. Heel pain from tissue inflammation makes it uncomfortable to maintain a solid stance. And neuromas, nerves that become thickened and painful because they've been compressed or irritated, can cause significant pain as your body transfers its weight from one foot to the other.

For the majority of patients, simple treatments, such as custom shoe inserts, stretching exercises, changes in shoes, medications, braces, steroid injections and physical therapy, will relieve pain. However, if these conservative measures fail to provide adequate relief, surgery may be required.
