Keeping golfers and pickleball players in the game
Dr. Dold has cared for PGA Tour golfers and treats many recreational golfers and pickleball players. The same problems come up again and again: hip pain with the turn, a sore shoulder, and heel pain from hours on hard courts.
Hip pain, impingement and labral tears
Pain in the front of the hip or groin during the golf swing can come from hip impingement (FAI) or a labral tear. In a large randomized trial, hip arthroscopy improved hip-related quality of life more than a structured physical therapy program at one year.1 A later meta-analysis also found better short-term results with surgery than without it.2 Many patients still do well with therapy first, and Dr. Dold helps you decide. See hip arthroscopy and labral tears.
Shoulder pain and rotator cuff tears
A rotator cuff tear can make the backswing or an overhead smash painful. When repair is needed, a review of ten-year results found lasting improvement and low rates of repeat surgery after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.3 See rotator cuff tears.
Heel pain on the court
Plantar fasciitis is common in pickleball players and walkers. A national physical therapy guideline supports stretching, taping and supportive shoe inserts as first-line care.4 Most people improve over time, though some still have symptoms years later.5 See plantar fasciitis.
Also treated for The Colony patients
Golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow, meniscus tears, Achilles ruptures, and hip and knee replacement.

It varies with the procedure and your recovery. Dr. Dold gives you a return-to-golf plan with your therapist before surgery.
