Why Golfers Should See a Chiropractor
Because golfers spend hours on their feet, bent at the waist, and looking downwards, they often experience issues like joint pain, stiffness, neck and lower back pain, and loss of range of motion. And since there’s a lot of force generated in a golfer’s swing, this sport can also cause repetitive stress injuries over time, leading to shoulder or upper back pain.
At Aligned Integrated Health, our team is committed to determining the underlying cause of our patient’s condition, rather than just treating symptoms. We provide safe, non-invasive chiropractic care in Scottsdale, AZ, focused on the individual, and we don’t rely on dangerous treatment methods or prescription drugs.
Golfers can benefit from chiropractic treatment in the following ways:
Assistance With Ergonomics
At Aligned Integrated Health, our experienced and knowledgeable team can provide you with tips and information about proper posture and ergonomics that can reduce your risk of injury when exercising or playing golf.
Improve Circulation and Mobility
The chiropractic therapies we offer at Aligned Integrated Health, such as chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and massage therapy can all improve your circulation and mobility. When you are more limber and flexible, you will play better and with less chance of injury.
Reduce Pain and Inflammation
Our chiropractic treatment methods can also reduce pain and inflammation if you are suffering from an existing injury. We can develop a customized treatment plan for you that includes care and treatment for neck and back pain, stiffness, loss of range of motion, headaches, stress and anxiety, and issues with sleep or nutrition. In addition to chiropractic treatments, we also offer physical therapy to help athletes recover quickly from injuries.
Prevent Future Injuries
Our experienced team is also trained and educated in sports injury prevention. Dr. Gerwig is a certified golf fitness instructor, meaning he can both help you with your swing and teach you how to prevent injury. A lot of it comes down to your muscles. Dr. Gerwig can make sure your muscles are able to function properly, thus promoting a quality golf swing.
Our team can also assist in other preventative measures such as preventing dehydration, heat fatigue, exhaustion, and stroke.
Lifestyle & Nutrition Counseling
Our team has extensive education in lifestyle and nutrition counseling, and can assist you in modifying elements of your daily routine and diet so you are happy, healthy, and safe.
