Golfing as a sport may appear gentle and easy. But someone who has played even one round of golf will know the repetitive nature of the golf swing can create significant physical stress. At Nicali Sports Medicine we understand the intricate relationship between spinal health and golf performance helping players optimize their game while preventing injuries.
The Swing’s Impact
The simultaneous engagement of multiple muscle groups and their joints in rapid succession is what makes up a Golf Swing. The rotational force, when combined with the speed of movement, puts a lot of stress on the spine, shoulders, and hips. Understanding this biomechanical chain helps identify potential weak points and areas needing attention.
Common Golf Injuries
Lower back strain tops the list of golf-related injuries, followed by shoulder impingements and elbow tendinitis. These issues often stem from improper form, restricted mobility, or underlying muscle imbalances. Regular chiropractic care helps address these concerns before they affect your game.
The Chiropractic Advantage
Our approach focuses on improving overall body mechanics. Through targeted adjustments and soft tissue work, we enhance spinal mobility and joint function. This improvement directly translates to a more fluid, powerful swing with reduced injury risk.
Swing Enhancement Strategies
Proper posture forms the foundation of an effective golf swing. We assess your stance, spinal alignment, and range of motion to identify areas needing improvement. Regular adjustments help maintain optimal body mechanics for consistent performance.
Preventive Care
