CAN CHIROPRACTIC CARE HELP ME WITH MY GOLF GAME?
Absolutely, yes! The best-kept secret in golf isn’t about the clubs you use or the balls you hit. Everyone who golfs the first time experiences the same shocking realizations – it’s more challenging than it appears and it’s a harder workout on your body than it seems like it should be. Every regular golfer will tell you that the most important thing to learn in golf is the correct posture for golfers and mechanics for your body. Even the slightest change in youhttps://eriechiro.com/athletes/r stance, approach, or swing can cause the ball to slice or fade in ways you didn’t expect.
With this in mind, imagine spending hours practicing and dialing in your swing. Excited to see your hard work come to fruition, you head out to the links the very next day. You set the ball on the tee at the first hole brimming with confidence despite being a little sore from your practice. Imagine your practiced approach and solid stance. Now imagine that perfectly practiced swing as you tee off. Unfortunately, if you’re like most people your ball went careening off in an unintended direction leaving you feeling a bit frustrated. At this point, most golfers can’t figure out what changed between one day and the next. However, many chiropractors can spot the change quickly.
SO WHAT CHANGED?
Your body changed! After practicing for multiple hours to perfect your game, your muscles betrayed you. This isn’t because they’re bad or because you’ve done anything wrong, what’s most likely is that your muscles were tense and can very easily have pulled your body out of alignment. When the spine is out of alignment, the connection between the brain and body is not at its’ optimum. Golf is particularly unforgiving because the game relies so heavily on repeatable body mechanics acting on such a small ball. If your body is out of alignment it could be causing minute changes in your swing that you may not notice. These minute changes create drastic effects on your drive from the tee box. In fact, bodies that are severely misaligned can have effects on your height, range of motion, or even the length of your legs. There is ample research evidence that reveals better accuracy and distance of drive after adjustments. One particular study can be found HERE
