Chiropractic and Golf
Millimetres in golf can be the difference between winning and losing a competition. That’s one reason that professional golfers will do everything they can to help them in their search for the perfect swing.
About 75% of professional golfers receive regular chiropractic care
Hitting the Golf ball further
Researchers in Brazil found from a research study that the golfers that got adjusted could hit the ball 8 meters further after the adjustment whereas the control group only improved by half a meter after the stretching session.
Chiropractic and Stretching
This study suggests that chiropractic care, in association with muscle stretching, seems to improve the ability of golfers to drive the ball when compared with muscle stretching alone.
