Golf is a unique sport which involves both physical and mental strength. Biomechanics, focus, coordination, and timing are extremely important for a successful round of golf.
The golf swing involves a powerful rotational movement. Proper ankle, hip, spinal, and shoulder mobility are needed to withstand the repetitive swinging motion. Lack of function in even one of these areas will increase the load on the others. This can lead to pain, commonly in the back.
Dr. Tom LaFountain, PGA Tour Director of Chiropractic Services, estimates that 80% of golf injuries involve the back. These injuries limit performance and sideline many golfers.
With back injuries so prevalent in golf, roughly 75% of professional golfers use regular chiropractic care to treat and prevent these injuries to stay on top of their game.
Tiger Woods: "I've been going to chiropractors for as long as I can remember. It's as important to my training as practicing my swing."
