You can improve your golf swing and yards by using a custom made orthotic!
Many of my patients are regulars on the golf course. In fact, several of them have become a chiropractic patient to help to improve their golf swing by improving the range of motion in their backs and shoulders which is easily obtained by proper alignment of the spine.
What many of my golfers have also benefited from are custom made flexible orthotics. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapeutics had demonstrated the effects of custom made orthotics and club speed.
They used 12 golfers in the study wearing custom made orthotics preform a simulated golf game (including 9 holes) over a six week period. They also used an electronic device to measure the club speed or club head velocity. The results were astounding as the club head velocity increased by 3.5 miles per hour which transcended to approximately 15 yards per swing!
They also noted that those golfers using the custom made orthotics had appeared to have less fatigue and more consistent performance with their golf game.
Custom made orthotics have several benefits besides improving your golf game, such as reduced pain in the foot, ankle knee and hips. Less shock into the joints of the legs and spine, and pelvis and back stabilizers which decreases back pain and fatigue.
