Golf and Sports Injury Recovery Program

Optimizing Your Golf Performance with Chiropractic Care

As a chiropractor specializing in Network Spinal, Dr. Karen Denise (K.D.) McCurley understands the unique demands that golf places on the body. Combining her expertise with a passion for sports medicine, she provides tailored chiropractic care that helps golfers enhance flexibility, prevent injuries, and improve their overall performance on the course.

Why Golfers Need Chiropractic Care

Golf is a sport that requires precision, balance, and a full range of motion. Swing mechanics place repetitive stress on the spine, hips, shoulders, and wrists, which can lead to misalignments, muscle imbalances, and chronic pain. Chiropractic care addresses these issues by ensuring optimal spinal alignment, reducing joint restrictions, and enhancing neuromuscular coordination.

Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Approach

TPI is the leading authority on golf-specific fitness, biomechanics, and movement analysis. Dr. McCurley integrates TPI principles into her chiropractic practice to provide golfers with personalized care plans designed to optimize movement patterns, prevent injuries, and maximize their potential on the course.

By assessing biomechanics and spinal health, she helps golfers improve:

• Swing efficiency and power
• Stability and core strength
• Range of motion and flexibility
• Recovery time after play or injury

Steps of the TPI Assessment

The TPI assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a golfer’s physical capabilities and movement patterns. It consists of the following steps:

1. Physical Screening – A series of mobility, flexibility, and stability tests to identify limitations affecting swing mechanics.
2. Swing Analysis – Using video or 3D motion capture to assess swing efficiency and identify biomechanical inefficiencies.
3. Movement Evaluation – Testing functional movement patterns, posture, and core stability to detect weaknesses or imbalances.
4. Strength & Flexibility Testing – Evaluating muscle strength and joint flexibility to develop a customized corrective exercise program.
5. Customized Treatment Plan – Based on findings, an individualized plan incorporating chiropractic care, mobility exercises, and strengthening routines is designed to optimize performance.
6. Progress Monitoring – Regular reassessments to track improvements and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

How Chiropractic Enhances Your Golf Game

• Injury Prevention – Reduce the risk of common golf-related injuries, including lower back pain, golfer’s elbow, and shoulder strain.
• Increased Mobility – Improve spinal function and flexibility for a smoother, more powerful swing.
• Enhanced Performance – Optimize coordination, balance, and muscle activation for greater precision and consistency.
