One of the common weekly health practices of professional golfers involves being treated by a chiropractor or physical therapist. During the 2000 Florida swing, Tryba said he had to make special arrangements to visit local DCs because we are not part of the medical team at PGA events. Back pain is extremely common among professionals. In fact, most have back pain to some degree. Even fit and trim David Duval suffers from back pain.
Amateur backs are no different.
Back pain, as well as elbow and shoulder pain, is very common. In short, golfers in your area need to be made aware of how their ailing bodies can be helped by chiropractic care. You don't need to have ever picked up a club in your life to effectively treat golfers. During this past year, many DCs who attended our golf programs explained that they came to our seminar to learn more about golf because they treat so many golfers and would like to have some basic golf knowledge. In other words, you don't need to be a golfer yourself to have a lot of golfer patients.
