Improving Your Golf Grip:

The weather this week is a golfer’s dream.  More time to practice and perfect your swing.  However, the cooler weather can create stiff and achy joints that make it more difficult to hold your grip through your swing.  If cold weather makes your hand joints feel stiff and achy, moxabustion is a great treatment to warm joints, decrease pain, and strengthen your grip.

Moxabustion is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy using moxa, or mugwort herb.   It plays an important role in the traditional medical systems of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Tibet, and Mongolia.   Moxa militates against cold and dampness in the body.  State certified acupuncturists are trained and licensed to perform this therapy.  Indirect moxibustion holds a cigar made of  mugwort near the acupuncture point to heat the skin, or holds it on an acupuncture needle inserted in the skin to warm the needle.  Practitioners will determine after an evaluation if acupuncture along with moxa is the best approach to resolve your hand stiffness and pain to strengthen your grip.

In my practice, I have used moxibustion on soldiers who have had frost bite and construction workers with great results.  Usually, the relief is immediate upon completion of a treatment.  However, the number of repeat sessions will depend on the underlying cause of pain and stiffnes, severity, and repeat exposure to the elements.
