golf and chiropractic

no one warms up properly before they exercise. Inside our tendons we have little organs called golgi tendon organs that are actually stretch receptors. When a doctor checks your reflexes, we take our little hammer and bang on this organ and it sends a signal to the spinal cord and back to the muscle and makes it contract.  When you hold a muscle stretch, this organ sends a signal to our brains and in turn our brains send signals to our blood vascular system to start rerouting more blood to that muscle. The more blood in the muscle, the more flexible it will become, and the more nutrients and oxygen will be ready for the exercise. The problem with golf is that no one stretches before they swing the clubs.  The golf swing causes a tremendous amount of strain on the lower back from the driving twisting motion, let alone the resistant forces that happen when you hit the ground. and this strain causes micro tears in your tendons and ligaments which leads to inflammation and scar tissue formation 6 weeks later and the begining stages of spinal degeneration. If you do this 2 times per week, the scar tissue builds up quickly and before you know you have a big problem the damage is already done. But it is fixable. I can show you how to proper warm up with some simple stretching exercises and i have a special traction table that will rehab the scar tissue in your spine and restore your normal range of motion so you once again swing pain free.
