There are a number of ways a golf chiropractor can treat the golfer and enhance his golf experience. Spinal and shoulder adjustments, preventative swing advice, rehabilitation exercises, electric muscle stimulation, chiropractic massage or Graston, deep heat therapy, laser therapy and anti-inflammatory nutrition are just some of the ways that golf chiropractors can treat golfers who are injured and who are trying to prevent injury. Basically, a golf chiropractor will treat the golfer who wants to play the game pain-free.
"Seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis has made me a better golfer. I've been going to chiropractors for as long as I can remember. It's as important to my training as practicing my swing"
-Tiger Woods, 14 time PGA Championship golfer
People that suffer from golfer’s elbow are often involved with racquet sports or golf. As with tennis elbow, they may overuse the forearm, traumatize the elbow by hitting several “fat” golf shots, or have poor swing technique.
Pain at the inner aspect of the elbow and reproduction of symptoms with resisted wrist flexion are common.
Rotator cuff and general shoulder problems can occur from golf for the same reasons as shown above for golfer's elbow.
Wrist tendonitis can set in even of you have good swing technique. This is often called "golf wrist" by golfers.
Knee injuries like Infrapatellar Tendonitis (jumpers knee) are very common in golf for a multitude of reasons.
