Swing and Backswing: Understanding Your Shoulder Pain

Golfers inevitably experience shoulder pain at some point. The pain varies among different types of golfers, often manifesting from backswing to follow-through, particularly in those who perform over-swing movements. Inflammation and pain should not be disregarded.

Professional golfers' shoulders are affected by numerous repeated swings, while amateur golfers suffer from technical and postural errors. Young male golfers are more susceptible to muscular issues and tendon strains, female golfers experience more articular cartilage damage due to greater joint laxity, and mature golfers may exacerbate age-related tendinitis and arthritis. During swing and backswing, tendon inflammation typically causes more acute pain, while articular pain prevents proper backswing completion. Excessive swing amplitude, excessive force applied to the ball, frequent shots with minimal rest, and unsuitable clubs can trigger persistent pain that often continues through the night.

Various conventional treatments exist for pain management (hyaluronic acid, corticosteroids, PRP). Scientific literature indicates that regenerative treatment using mesenchymal stem cells extracted from micro-fragmented adipose tissue via Lipogems technology, subsequently injected into the affected shoulder area, demonstrates superior clinical and functional outcomes compared to conventional therapies. The Lipogems method maintains and enables the body to safely utilize stem cell properties (anti-inflammatory and tissue regenerative) by preserving them in their natural environment. Lipogems is extensively utilized by athletes to repair and regenerate cartilage damage from overuse - as demonstrated by Italian national ski team champions - and to enhance clinical and functional outcomes while reducing recovery time following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Benefits duration varies by individual factors but typically extends beyond two years. Injections are repeatable.
