Swing Smarter, Not Harder: The Key to Pain-Free Golf

Golf might seem like a low-impact sport to the untrained eye, but every golfer knows that it takes precision, power, and repetition. Unfortunately, that repetition can lead to common issues like low back pain, elbow tendonitis (golfer’s elbow), and shoulder tightness—especially when there's an underlying dysfunction in how the body moves.

At Highland Spine + Sport, we work with golfers of all skill levels to address these issues at the source. Whether you’re teeing off at Roanoke Country Club or hitting a casual round at Ole Monterey, we want to help you swing better, feel stronger, and stay pain-free. Utilizing chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, and sports rehab we know that we will get you on the path to reach greater heights in your golf game.

Common Golf Injuries We See:

• Low Back Pain: Often caused by poor core control or over-rotation through the lumbar spine.
• Golfer’s Elbow: Pain on the inside of the elbow due to overuse or faulty mechanics.
• Shoulder Tightness or Pain: Stemming from limited thoracic rotation or instability.
• Hip Restrictions: Can lead to compensations throughout the swing and increase the risk of injury.

The Highland Approach to Golf Pain

We take a 3-step approach to helping golfers move better and play longer:

1. Evaluate: We assess your movement, posture, and mechanics to uncover the root cause of your pain or limitations.
2. Eliminate: Through hands-on care like adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and dry needling, we reduce pain and improve function.
3. Elevate: Using targeted rehab exercises, we build strength and mobility so your body performs better on the course.
