Every Top Golfers Secret - Maxwell Pro Line

Amateur and professional golfers should be aware of how regular chiropractic care can not only address golf injury but have also been shown to improve ones golf game by improving balance, flexibility and strength. Golfing injuries and repetitive stress issues can interfere with performance and daily activities. A variety of stretches and exercises can help amateur and pro golfers feel better and improve their performance. According to Dr. Todd Askenas, DC a member of PGA medical staff since 2012, “patients may reduce their need for medications with the use of a chiropractic pain management program for golf-related injuries.”

Total Life Chiropractic offers patients natural ways to support their body’s health and continue to participate in the game. Professional and amateur athletes should always take measures to continuously improve and enjoy their sport or activity while preventing injury.

The Golf Fitness Evaluation is the first step to take to assess balance, strength, posture, flexibility, and motion. As experienced chiropractors we identify physical limitations and deficits and how such issues may impair performance. Patients then begin a customized golf-specific corrective chiropractic, exercise and conditioning program to support the specific needs of the patient’s body and improve their game. Chiropractic helps golfers avoid injuries, reduce pain, speed recovery, and increase mobility.

Think about it, the golf swing puts a tremendous amount of stress on the body. The golf swing itself increases stress on the lower lumbar disks by 6 to 7 times normal. There’s also the stress of forcefully swinging in one direction along with the fact that you are bent forward while swinging, over and over. Don’t forget the fact that you have to keep your head pointing straight down while your whole body twists creating a significant torque and counter-torque. And how about that torque that occurs in your knee when your foot needs to stay planted while your hips twist so that they can face forward.

Chiropractic care is used to address biomechanical imbalances created by this repetitive stress and help with swing and stability. the benefits of regular chiropractic care are not just limited to reducing pain, and improving strength and stability, but as corrective chiropractors, we at Total Life Chiropractic realize that golf is a game of finesse not force, and this the balance, stability and freedom of movement which we strive to create will give you a healthier, happier and more productive game.
