‘Knowledge Is Power’: Days After a Heroic Solheim Cup Comeback, Lexi Thompson Makes an Honest Admission About Her Injury Struggles

USA golfer Lexi Thompson is no stranger to injuries. In fact, it was primarily due to injuries that she slipped from world No. 6 to her currently held 26th rank this year. Her injuries, at one point, almost put a question mark on her long-term career. That was, until she fought back!

The 11-time LPGA winner now shares some valuable lessons she has learned in her fight with injuries. However, it’s not even traditional drug treatments or surgery that she puts her faith in. Sharing on her Instagram, she endorses an innovative, fully natural, “non-drug” method.

Thompson’s secret to long-term relief from pain

Early today, the US golfer posted a clip on her Instagram handle advocating a pain-relief method named Iovera treatment. Writing that over the years she has learned the benefits of non-drug treatments, she wrote on her Instagram, “I’ve learned about the power of non-drug options like Iovera pain relief.”

Explaining further in the video, the one-time major winner remarked that Iovera, unlike other established drug treatments, uses the human body’s natural response to cold and provides long-term pain relief. Furthermore, its easy-to-adopt and totally hassle-free nature has made it more appealing to her. Remarking on its convenience, the 28-year-old golfer added, “It can be done right in your doctor’s office.”

Thompson has had her fair share of injuries over the years. Her personal struggles must have contributed to her knowledge about managing injuries. Ultimately, her final advice is, “Knowledge is power in managing pain.”

Fans will be delighted to see that the two-time LET Tour winner has found a better way to deal with her injuries than drug treatments. The veteran golfer has had major career setbacks due to injuries. And despite her brilliant performance last week in the Solheim Cup, where she won 3 out of 4 of her face-offs, 2023 has not been a great year for the LPGA star, all thanks to her injuries that came back to haunt her!

Lexi Thompson has had a long history of dealing with injuries

Earlier this year, in the Chevron Championship, her taped-up wrist gave rise to speculation that she might miss the Solheim Cup squad. Fortunately, the inflammation around her tendon didn’t deal a major blow to her aspirations. But 2023 is not the only year where injuries almost jeopardized her career goals.

Earlier in 2018, she had to withdraw from the Diamond Resorts Invitational due to a wrist injury. Back in 2019, after the USA’s narrow loss to Europe at the Solheim Cup, it was reported that her back spasms might have prevented her from having a solid game. She lost to Georgia Hull in the singles, eventually.

Lexi Thompson, despite suffering heartbreak last week at Finca Cortesin, has pulled back and is currently playing at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship at Pinnacle Country Club. Fans hope that this time, the veteran golfer will be able to perform at her best and recover her old form.
