Golf and Chiropractic Care

Did you know that there is a definite link between chiropractic care and success on the golf course? Golf is a terrific hobby, and as an activity it provides tons of health benefits both physical and mental. And while most people will go through different sets of clubs and utilize coaches and training aids to improve their play, not everyone will realize that getting their body in peak physical condition is a terrific way to shed strokes on the course; it may even be the thing that improves their play the most.

Most golfers will experience some type of back pain associated with the sport. Golfers, both professional and amateur, can experience pain and discomfort due to the physical demands placed on the spine when a golfer swings a club. The pain can be both uncomfortable or chronic, and recovery from injury can range between the extremes of a few days rest to intensive surgery.

Chiropractic care helps the entire body to perform in as optimal a condition as possible. The golf swing requires a coordinated effort between numerous parts of the body, and when one body part is sore or broken down it can affect the rest, causing overcompensation and imbalance.

Back pain is the most common injury associated with golf. And a regular wellness checkup and adjustment performed by your chiropractor at Larson Chiropractic will tend to current pains and discomforts and also correct any problems that could lead to future problems. And everyone can benefit. You don’t have to be the type of golfer who plays a round every day to benefit; if you want to improve your play, strengthening your skills and shedding a few strokes, then call Larson Chiropractic and make an appointment today.
