Improve Your Golf Game!

Golf is a sport of repetitive motion, concentration and precision. Pain or limited range of motion can be detrimental to one’s game. The golfers I treat in my practice typically present with muscle strains, spasms, limited range of motion in the upper torso and lower back, and usually experience chronic pain. Lateral and medial malleolus tendonitis (golfer’s elbow), rotator cuff tears, iliopsoas pain, tight IT bands, and wrist pain are just a few of the most common ailments. Traditional Chinese Medicine can be quite effective to prevent injury while training and resolve acute and chronic conditions.  Often, immediate relief is obtained. This is because acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins. These are the body's own morphine-like substances. They are natural pain killers. These substances are responsible for the 'high' the runner feels after the effort.
How Can Acupuncture Improve Your Golf Game?  By increasing the blood flow throughout the body increases cellular nutrition. What this means in plain English: new muscle fibres can grow, lymphatic drainage can function properly and the synovial fluid can flow freely through the joint capsules. This will increase range of motion, resolve tightness and strain, eliminate pain and scar tissue.  The bottom line…your stroke will be freer, faster, stronger and much more precise.
