Shoulder Health in the Aging Athlete
Make an Appointment or Give us a call .
The Aging Athlete
- Golf has long been popular in part due to the fact that as people age, they can continue to participate
- Pickleball has seen wildly increasing popularity in recent years; also in part due to the fact that people can continue to play even as they see decreased mobility with age
- One of my roles as a surgeon is to keep the aging athlete on the court or the golf course and help them continue to enjoy their sport
Preventive Measures
Preventative measures are the most important way to avoid both acute and overuse injuries. Remember the goal: keep you on the court or on the course.
Treatment of most overuse injuries typically begins with conservative measures with surgery reserved for patients who do not improve with conservative care.
Pickleball can lead to severe acute injury, but safety on the court can help prevent these injuries!
