Golf season is in full swing (couldn’t resist), with stunning courses like Cordova Bay Golf Course and Victoria Golf Club offering some of the most scenic and challenging play on Vancouver Island. Whether you’re a weekend duffer or working on lowering your handicap, one thing can quickly ruin your round: back pain. At Aria Health and Wellness Clinic, our team—led by chiropractor Dr. Amar Sandhu—helps golfers stay mobile, powerful, and pain-free all season long.
Why Golf Can Be Tough on Your Spine
While golf may appear to be a low-impact activity, it’s not. That’s because the repetitive twisting and bending can place considerable strain on the spine, shoulders, and hips. A powerful backswing followed by a fast rotation during the follow-through can irritate spinal joints and soft tissues, especially if your posture or alignment is off. Even subtle imbalances can lead to pain, stiffness, or reduced range of motion that affects your performance on the course.
Chiropractic Solutions for a Smoother Swing
Dr. Sandhu, who has advanced training in Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®), Active Release Techniques (ART®), and Graston®, provides targeted care to help golfers improve their posture, reduce inflammation, and maintain spinal flexibility. His approach addresses the root cause of discomfort so you can enjoy smoother swings and stronger drives.
