Does low back, hip, or other pain keep you from achieving all you can on the course?  Do you lose consistency on the back nine due to soreness and pain?  The golf swing is all about efficient energy transfer from the lower body into the hips, through each of the joints of the spine, into the shoulder girdle, down the arm, through the golf club, and finally into the golf ball.   If any one of the joints involved is injured, or not moving effectively, your handicap will suffer.

Posture at the address of the ball is important to position yourself to effectively transfer energy and hit that long straight shot you are visualizing. 

If back pain and dysfunction are impairing your posture, your swing will suffer.  That means compensating during your swing, that can lead to more biomechanical problems, and pain in other areas of the body.  Without good posture, pain can be a self-perpetuating cycle that inhibits your game.

Although address posture is very important, golf is without a doubt a dynamic sport.  Your swing must be consistent over the course of four to five hours in order to shoot the low scores you desire.  When a spinal or extremity subluxation is present, the kinetic chain is disrupted, and force transfer is sub-optimal.  This leads to swing compensations and inconsistent swings over the course of your game.

As any golfer will tell you, an inconsistent swing is the quickest way to add unnecessary strokes to your score card. 

Today, many golfers rely on expensive clubs and fancy new equipment to help them shave strokes off of their score.  All too often, this approach does not prove to be effective.  With all the state of the art tools available to today's golfers, why is the average score no better than it was 50 years ago?  The answer is that, the problem does not lie within the equipment, but rather in our body's ability to move efficiently over and over again on the course.

Chiropractic care is a very effective method of enhancing your athletic ability in golf as well as other sports.  Chiropractic can reduce your pain, and improve your motion, both of which will enhance your golf game.  Chiropractic care when combined with corrective exercise and stretching protocols, is a cost-effective, functional, and realistic way to cut your golf score and add to your enjoyment of the game!
