Improve your golf swing-shave strokes off your score

Professional golf instructors estimate that 80-100% of golfers’ swing problems begin from faulty posture.

Therefore, having a San Marcos Chiropractor evaluate your posture should be the first and most important step toward building an optimal golf swing. Most postural faults are caused by muscle and connective tissue imbalances that pull a golfers body out of alignment. The result of an unbalanced or asymmetrical standing posture will always be unbalanced and decreased performance. If the golf instructors are correct, a poor posture, when addressing the ball, will result in a poor and/or inconsistent golf swing.  Moreover, sooner or later, golfing with a poor posture and swing motion will cause injuries:

Research states that 80% of the population has lower back pain.

An onlooker may assume that the never-ending quest to put the little white ball into the cup calls upon little of the athleticism required by other warm-weather sports such as tennis or cycling.  Not true.  Many avid golfers contort their bodies into oddly twisted postures, generating a great deal of torque-the twisting force that opens a bottle cap-on the back. Couple this motion with a bent-over stance, repeat 90 to 120 times over three or four hours, add the fatigue that comes with several miles of walking, and you’ve got a good workout-and a recipe for potential lower back trouble.

As America’s love affair with the game continues to grow, chiropractors advocate taking a proactive approach that will prepare your body for many years of pain-free play. Most golfers play until they are in pain, then look for immediate relief. Your San Marcos Chiropractor advocates a different approach-by helping patients look at what they can do right now to reduce the likelihood of future injury.  We want people to be able to play without pain and have the greatest potential for a lifetime.

If you take this approach, you’re in good company.  At Chiropractic San Marcos, we have found there is a direct connection between the spine and sports performance.  Nerves control every muscle in your spine.  A pinched nerve will decrease performance.  Stan Sheppard states, “The difference between winning and losing could be just one stroke.”  Many professional golfers such as Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Davis Love and Tom Watson rely on regular chiropractic adjustments to increase their performance.  To find out if San Marcos Chiropractic could increase your performance in golf please call our office to schedule a free evaluation at (760) 510-5919.
