Whether you simply play occasionally for fun or find yourself on the green every weekend, if you are a golfer you can benefit from chiropractic care. Even professionals like Tiger Woods are known to seek out the assistance of a chiropractor—and for good reason. Doing so can spare you discomfort and keep you playing your best. Find out why below.

3 Reasons to Seek Out Chiropractic Care as a Golfer

1. Avoid Injury

While golf has many health benefits and can even increase life expectancy, as with any sport, it is possible to hurt yourself. Lower back injuries are common; this is likely because the sport requires repetitive movements involving a twist in the spine and every time you take a swing with the club, you are stressing the muscles and ligaments around your vertebrae. Regular adjustments alleviate strain on muscles and ligaments, reducing the odds of injury.

2. Gain Mobility

Stiffness in your back, joints, or muscles will leave you with reduced mobility. Chiropractic care keeps you loose and limber by removing constrictions and negating misalignment throughout the body. This is especially important for golfers who may not take the time to stretch and warm up as other sportsmen would—even though they should!

3. Heal More Quickly

Experiencing an injury that keeps you from golfing is frustrating. A chiropractor will get you back out on the course more quickly, particularly if it’s back pain that’s holding you back. Research shows that spinal manipulation is especially effective in addressing this area.
