Chiropractic Care and Longer Golf Drives

How Chiropractic Care Can Help You Hit Longer Golf Drives

Every golfer wants more distance off the tee. While many invest in expensive new clubs or tweak their swing, there’s a natural way to improve performance—chiropractic care.

The Research Behind Chiropractic and Golf Performance

A study from Brazil tested how chiropractic adjustments combined with stretching impacted golfers’ driving distance.  The study included 43 experienced golfers with handicaps between 0 and 15. These players already trained regularly but wanted an edge to improve their game.

The golfers split into two groups:

  • One group followed a structured stretching program.
  • The second group followed the same stretching routine but also received chiropractic adjustments targeting dysfunctional areas in the spine.

After four weeks, the results were clear:
Stretching alone increased driver distance by just 0.5 metres.
Chiropractic care + stretching improved driver distance by a massive 8 metres!

Why Golfers Use Chiropractic Care

This study reinforces what many professional golfers already know—chiropractic care enhances golf performance. In fact, 75% of professional golfers receive regular chiropractic adjustments to improve mobility, increase power, and reduce injury risk.

By correcting spinal dysfunction, chiropractic care helps optimize movement, allowing golfers to generate more clubhead speed without changing their swing.
