Want to improve your next round of golf? Consider Hampton Chiropractic for your first stop. With passion for the game and the history to back it, Dr. Hampton can help you to improve your golf game through a variety of techniques.
-
PERSONALIZED EXERCISE PROGRAM:
Based on your posture findings and exam findings, Dr. Hampton will put together an exercise/stretching program designed to give you greater flexibility and range of motion. If you want more power and consistency off the tee, you have to improve flexibility first. This is why you don’t see too many body builders on tour.
-
PERSONALIZED NUTRITION PROGRAM:
Golf is well known for being a mental game. If you want to play your best golf, you need to be focused. Food sensitivities can “gunk-up” the brain, causing fatigue and lack of focus. Dr. Hampton recommends food sensitivity testing to anyone wanting to lead a healthier life, and based on your results, he puts together a customized nutrition program so you start eating like a pro.

EXPERTISE:
Dr. Hampton was a division I golfer and has a strong understanding of the biomechanics of the golf swing. Through this knowledge, he can target specific muscles and areas that need to be adjusted so that your body moves like it is supposed to especially when it comes to swinging the club on plane. Also, while getting your adjustment, be sure to ask for some pointers such as drills you can do to improve your game.

IMPROVE MID-BACK RANGE OF MOTION:
In order to get a full shoulder turn, you have to have thoracic mobility. Chiropractic adjustments “free-up” the thoracic spine, giving you greater range of motion in your upper half, resulting in more power.
-
IMPROVE SHOULDER RANGE OF MOTION:
In order to get a full shoulder turn, you also have to have complete range of motion in your shoulders. Often times, poor posture leads to your shoulders being rotated and “stuck” in a forward position. Dr. Hampton does shoulder adjustments to not only improve range of motion but also to reduce pain in your shoulders. He will also stretch and work the muscles in the shoulder responsible for the shoulder being “stuck” forward.
-
RELIEVE GOLFER’S ELBOW:
Golfer’s elbow gets the name for a reason. If you’re having pain on the inside part of your elbow upon swinging the club, you
most likely have this nagging diagnosis. Dr. Hampton utilizes trigger point therapy along with chiropractic adjustments to the elbow to relieve the muscle tension that is causing your pain. -
IMPROVE LOWER BACK RANGE OF MOTION:
You also need to have range of motion in your lower half. Dr. Hampton does a great lower back adjustment for golfers which helps give you more rotation in your low back. More range of motion equals more power.
-
IMPROVE HIP AND KNEE RANGE OF MOTION:
If you suffer from hip pain and knee pain, Dr. Hampton can adjust those areas as well as stretch specific muscles that will help relieve pain and improve range of motion in those areas.
-
CORRECT SUPPLEMENTATION:
Based on your specific health complaints and health goals, Dr. Hampton can recommend the right kind of supplementation. He always recommends you start by taking Vitamin D, Fish Oil, Probiotics and a quality multivitamin daily for the rest of your life.
-
PREVENT INJURY:
Lack of range of motion, poor posture, and muscle Imbalances all lead to injuries to your back. Couple this with all the torque involved in a golf swing and you are even more prone to injuring your back. Dr. Hampton’s approach is on improving the biomechanics of your spine so that you are less prone to injury. This same approach not only prevents pain but can help relieve the active/acute pain you may already have.
