Join Dr. Choll Kim from Excel Spine and Dr. Chris Rogers from San Diego Orthobiologics Medical Group as they chat golf and back pain. Chances are, your back isn’t messing up your swing – it’s golf that’s messing with your back.
Golfing strains your back in unnatural ways. A golf swing using all the inner core muscles, compresses the spine disc and joints. The discs, joints, and ligaments in your back are meant to give you stable motion, but if the motion is disrupted, pain occurs.
