Golfers Love Chiropractic

The motions required in golf are very demanding on the body. They require a lot of flexibility, good posture, and repetitive one-sided motion. Unfortunately many people do not have good flexibility. They also exhibit several types of poor posture and just about anyone's spine is stressed by repetitive unbalanced movement.

Chiropractic comes into play because we can detect joints in the spine and extremities that are not functioning at their full potential. Having all your joints working together in a balanced way will allow your body to produce the level of motion necessary to prevent golf injuries and even to take several strokes off your game!

Your chiropractor may also help with your posture. Having poor posture locks up your body and reduces it's ability to move fully. Try and experiment to see for yourself. Sit on a bench and slouch over. Cross your arms genie style and then try to rotate as far as you can to the left and right. Then sit up straight with good posture and repeat the rotational test. Notice how much further you can move? Chiropractors not only coach you on good posture, but by restoring the normal motion to all the joints it is simply easier to hold yourself in good posture.

Of course it is also your responsibility to maintain these changes and help avoid injury. Be sure to warm-up before each game. Get your blood and body moving, do some stretching and ask your chiropractor for a good core stabilization program. Fore!
