golf and chiropractic: don’t blame the tee

golf and chiropractic

It’s just a golf tee, a small piece of wood that barely weighs an ounce. But when he bent down to pick it up after finishing the last hole, it could have been a weight of 135kg. He noticed a small pop in his back and then began to feel a sharp spasm.

How could such a small thing cause such a big problem?

What he didn’t realize is that his spine had been already bad for some time. At some point, the vertebrae lost their alignment – possibly a few months ago due to a minor slip or perhaps due to years of neglect.

A subtle nerve pressure (subluxation) occurred and now his muscles are doing everything they can to keep him upright. Bending down on the 9th green was literally the last tee that tipped the scales.

When a minor act becomes a major injury, what concerns the Chiropractor the most is not what you did – what concerns him is what you are NOT doing.

Let it be a lesson for you to pay more attention to the maintenance needs of your spine. Do the smarter thing – be regular with your spinal adjustments to prevent it from happening again. Golf and chiropractic is like in many sports a good combination to optimize the functioning of the body. More info at quiropractica1.com Marc Bony, DC
