If you’re hitting the links regularly at beautiful local courses like The Bridges Golf Club or Canyon Lakes Golf Course, you know that golf is way more than just having the right clubs or perfect technique. Your body is the most important piece of equipment, and when it’s not moving the way it should, your game suffers.
Why Your Body Matters More Than Your Swing
Here’s the thing about golf—it’s very demanding on your body. You’re rotating your spine through movements that require wide range of motion, transferring power from your legs through your core, and doing it all while trying to stay balanced. If you’ve got tight hips, a stiff mid-back, or shoulders that don’t move freely, you’re fighting against yourself every time you swing.
Most golfers we see have dealt with:
- Lower back pain after a long round
- Shoulder stiffness that limits their backswing
- Hip tightness that throws off their rotation
- Neck pain from looking down at the ball repeatedly
How Chiropractic Care Improves Your Game
At Alexander Chiropractic and Wellness, we don’t just crack your back and send you on your way. We look at how your whole body moves together. When your spine is aligned and your joints are moving freely, you’ll notice:
- Better rotation: Your backswing becomes smoother and more complete
- More power: Energy transfers better from your legs through your core
- Less fatigue: You can play longer without getting sore
- Fewer injuries: Your body handles the repetitive motion better
Through precise, gentle adjustments and personalized care plans, Dr. Eric Westover and our team at Alexander Chiropractic and Wellness help restore natural movement, improve alignment, and support better overall function. From increased rotation to better follow-through, chiropractic care can be a powerful tool in refining your game.
Beyond the Adjustment Table
Chiropractic care for golfers isn’t just about adjustments (though those are pretty important). We also focus on:
- Soft tissue work to keep your muscles loose and flexible
- Movement exercises you can do at home or before you play
- Posture tips that help both your golf game and your daily life
- Recovery strategies so you bounce back faster after those long rounds
