Spinal Health For Life
“A Hard Golf Lesson About Maintaining Good Spinal Health”
Today I am going to tell you a story of a patient I had a while back who threw his back out playing golf.
When he first came in he was extremely frustrated because he had just retired and his passion was to play golf 2 – 3 times per week.
He was also very impatient. He expected that 1 adjustment would cure him and he would be able to resume golfing the next day.

He thought that I could just ‘pop’ his spine back into place without any type of examination but he finally agreed to get them.
Well, the xrays were not good news. The xrays showed that the spinal disc at the very bottom of his back had almost completely decayed away due to a subluxation that had been there for at least 40 years. This was causing him to have a severely pinched nerve in his lower back. He did not start a program of care when I explained to him that a quick fix was impossible.
The reason that I am sharing this story with you is because I have seen this happen time and time again. Someone works hard all their life, retires and is ready to enjoy their hobbies and is then crippled with a back problem that they have paid very little or no attention to their whole life. This was not the first time this guys back went out.
The sad thing is this did not have to happen. You do have a choice. Regular chiropractic adjustments throughout your lifetime pay huge dividends later on.
