Winter may feel like the off-season for golf, but for your body, it’s one of the most important times of the year. As a sports chiropractor in Roanoke, VA, we regularly see golfers lose mobility, develop stiffness, and experience early-season injuries simply because winter prep was ignored.
At Highland Spine & Sport, we help golfers maintain movement, protect their spine, and return to spring golf feeling stronger—not rusty.
