Don't Let Your Desk Leave You Distressed

Whether you like to sink a few holes at the local pitch-and-putt, or compete in international tournaments with million-dollar sponsorships on your shirt, one truth in golf remains universal -- a bad back means a bad game. Consequently, anybody who plays golf with any regularity should make sure their backs are free of pain, weakness, cramps and other conditions, and having regular appointments with an accredited chiropractic practitioner can be one of the most effective ways to maintain spinal health and mobility.

Lower back pain, whether acute or chronic, can severely impact your quality of life. The symptoms may be localised or scattered, persistent or intermittent, and sometimes they can't be traced back to a single event such as an accident. We all know to visit a doctor when there's severe pain, but how else do you know when your pain warrants medical evaluation, and what should you expect from such a visit?
