Chiropractic Enhances Your Golf Experience

By Aras Ignatavicius D.C.


The growth of golf in Asia over the last decade has made Country Club membership a highly competitive industry. Aside from course quality, location and facilities, clubs are now looking at other services to separate themselves from their competition. One such area is chiropractic care. But why? Because healthy golfers are happy golfers. This translates into more profit and membership retention for clubs.

How does Chiropractic treatment help golfers?

Chiropractic treatment in golf clubs is probably one of the most effective ways to promote health and injury prevention within a club setting. Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in treating neuro-musculo-skelatal conditions, which account for the majority of golf injuries Examples of these would be shoulder pain and low back pain. Regular chiropractic adjustments are both effective in maintaining golf fitness, as well as in providing pain relief and speeding up injury recovery. In many cases, the realignment of joints immediately relaxes sore muscles, providing pain relief and expedited injury recovery.

Key benefits of chiropractic care:

For Golfers:

Pain reduction/alleviation and injury prevention

Quicker recovery times

Improved golf performance

Increased flexibility and range of motion

Natural, non-invasive treatment without the use of drugs or surgery

Treatments are quick, safe and effective with an average adjustment lasting only 5 min.

Doctors of Chiropractic can work with personal trainers/golf coaches to provide them with a more holistic, golf specific training approach

For Clubs:

Healthy, injury free members will play more often

Satisfied members are more likely to renew their membership and refer new members

Having Doctors of Chiropractic onsite to treat golf injuries enhances membership value, this is a competitive advantage

New golfing injuries can be evaluated and treated immediately

The needs of a chiropractic clinic are low, only a portable chiropractic table needed

Golfers have access to treatment at participating golf clubs and at Healing Hands Chiropractic Centers

How can golf courses offer chiropractic services to their members? Many options are available for golf courses wanting to offer chiropractic services to their members. This can range from providing injury prevention / health talks, to having chiropractic coverage during golf tournaments. An option is also to have a chiropractic doctor onsite (full/part time).

The most successful golf courses in North America and Europe invest in injury prevention for their members as well as actively marketing the benefits and availability of chiropractic service at their club. For many golf courses, contracting or outsourcing chiropractic services makes the most sense. Healing Hands Chiropractic Group is a full service chiropractic center. Its services include:

Chiropractic consultations and treatments

Golf injury/ prevention talks and seminars

Chiropractic staffing for events/tournaments

Chiropractic clinic set up and staffing
