Take your golf game to the next level — by taking care of yourself first.

We might not be able to turn you into Rory McIlroy or Lilia Vu, but chiropractic care can help improve golfers’ performance by improving spinal alignment, joint mobility, and muscle function, leading to enhanced flexibility, range of motion, and biomechanics during the golf swing.

Here's a brief overview supported by reputable sources.

Improved Range of Motion

Chiropractic adjustments can restore proper spinal alignment and joint mobility, which are essential for achieving a full range of motion during a golf swing. The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics published research suggesting chiropractic adjustments can increase cervical spine range of motion, potentially benefiting golfers who require optimal neck flexibility for their swing.

Enhanced Flexibility and Muscle Function

Chiropractors can address muscle imbalances and tightness through techniques such as soft tissue therapy and corrective exercises. A study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine found that, combined with soft tissue therapy, chiropractic adjustments resulted in improved hip flexor flexibility and lower extremity muscle function, which are crucial for generating power and stability in the golf swing.

Injury Prevention

By optimizing spinal alignment, joint function, and muscle balance, chiropractic care can help prevent common golf-related injuries such as low back pain, shoulder injuries, and golfer's elbow. According to a review published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, chiropractic treatment, including spinal manipulation and soft tissue techniques, have been shown to effectively manage and prevent musculoskeletal injuries in athletes, including golfers.

Chiropractic care has benefitted some of the world’s top golfers for years, and is a valuable adjunct to golf training and performance enhancement strategies. Chiropractic care is a must have for everyone’s golf bag!
