She has not only learned a lot about the game of golf and local courses, but also golfers’ bodies. It is a unique sport, with specific movement patterns and stress to the low back, spine, pelvis, and rib cage. (She has not met a golfer who doesn’t need multiple ribs adjusted, from all of the swinging, although she/he might not know it!)
Many golfers initially come in because pain in their back or hips is interfering with their swings and ability to play golf. There are usually vertebrae in their spines that are out of place, putting pressure on the nerves that control their muscles.
This interfere can decrease range of motion in the spine and the body- as well as causing stiffness or pain. Often, golfers’ hips are also out of alignment- as well as ribs being subluxated, or out of place.
These misalignments negatively affect their enjoyment and ability to play the sport. Usually after one to several adjustments (depending on the person and their history) a golfer will notice an improvement not only in their pain level, but an easier swing- delivering more speed and distance. What golfer doesn’t want those results?
“Dr Heidi is the best! Ive been to a few chiropractors in my day but none that were better for the mind and the body than Dr. Heidi. She would always find the time in our adjustment time to ask how I was doing, and in doing so she would tell me that stress could play a role in some of my back and shoulder pain that comes from playing golf. I played college golf the last 4 years and the last 2 I have gone to see her with awesome results. Not only do I highly recommend a chiropractor in general for golf but I especially recommend Dr. Heidi because she has dealt with myself and many golfers and has an ability to recognize the problem and fix it as quickly as possible. She has also been able to get me back on the course after a few workout injuries faster than I thought possible. I go see Heidi every other week and my back and whole body in general feels better than it ever has before. I would highly recommend Dr. Heidi and look forward to my next visit.”
