In the America there are almost 40 million golfers, and every one of them can benefit from golf specific chiropractic treatments. Because of the unilateral movement in the golf swing, virtually every golfer at some point experiences some form of injury or pain: some chronic, and others acute.

There are three fundamental causes of golf injuries: poor posture, lack of flexibility and poor swing mechanics. The root cause of poor mechanics is often a result of a physical restriction or mechanical dysfunction, which may be alleviated through chiropractic procedures. Lack of flexibility can also be addressed by treatment and a prescribed stretching program specifically designed around each patient’s restrictions. Obviously, chiropractic care is ideally suited to deal with poor posture.

On the golf course, physical exertion is intermittent. A golfer will attempt approximately 50-70 violent swings every five minutes or so while playing 18 holes. The average amateur will swing his club at 80-100 miles per hour. On the driving range, the pounding is rapid and relentless. Most golfers’ rapid fire balls when practicing hitting as many as 100 balls in a half hour. Chiropractors are the perfect choice to, educate, treat, and condition golfer resulting in better golf, less injury, play longer and most important play pain free without eating a handful of drugs to cope with the pain.
