Golf swing analysis for pain‑free power and consistent ball flight

If your back, hips, or shoulders complain every time you take a swing, a golf chiropractor can help you unlock more speed, better control, and long‑term golf spine health—without guessing or generic tips.

What is golf chiropractic swing analysis?

**Golf chiropractic swing analysis is a clinical assessment where a golf chiropractor (Dr Andrew McHardy) evaluates your swing mechanics, joint mobility, muscle control, and golf spine health to identify the physical causes of pain, inconsistency, and lost distance. It combines video swing review with hands‑on orthopedic and neurological testing to create a personalised chiropractic golf performance plan that improves movement, reduces injury risk, and supports long‑term golf injury prevention.

** Only available at our Town Hall, CBD location.

Why see a golf chiropractor instead of just taking another lesson?

Traditional golf lessons focus on club path, grip, and technique. A golf chiropractor looks at the one variable your coach cannot change: how your body is built and how it moves. When your joints, muscles, and nervous system are optimised for the golf swing, every lesson and club fitting works better.

• Body‑first, not swing‑first

We assess your spine, hips, shoulders, and ankles to see what your body can safely do before we ask you to copy a tour‑pro move that may not fit your structure.

• Objective, measurable change

Range‑of‑motion testing, strength checks, and video golf swing analysis show exactly where you are losing power or loading your back, then track improvement over time.

• Golf injury prevention built in

We design your plan to reduce stress on discs, facet joints, and soft tissues so you can play more rounds with less flare‑ups and faster recovery between games.

• Works alongside your coach and fitter

We communicate in golf language and can share key findings with your coach, personal trainer, or club fitter so your technique and equipment match what your body can actually do.

Golf chiropractor vs standard golf lesson

How our golf swing analysis session works

Every golfer is different. Your session is structured to uncover the exact physical reasons your swing hurts or underperforms, then give you a clear, step‑by‑step plan to fix it.

Video & biomechanical swing analysis - Using slow‑motion video and clinical testing, we analyse how your body loads during backswing, transition, and impact. We identify where limited mobility or control is forcing compensations that stress your back, hips, or shoulders.

Golf‑specific history & movement screen - We start with your golf story: current handicap, typical ball flight, pain history, and goals. Then we run a golf‑specific movement screen covering spine rotation, hip turn, shoulder mobility, and balance.

Chiropractic treatment & performance plan - You receive targeted chiropractic adjustments, soft‑tissue work, and a simple home program to improve mobility, stability, and sequencing. We outline a clear chiropractic golf performance plan with expected milestones and review dates.

What results can golfers expect from golf swing analysis?

Our goal is simple: help you play more golf, with less pain, and more predictable performance. Below are clear, factual answers to the most common outcome‑based questions golfers ask.

Reduced injury risk

Q: Does golf swing analysis reduce golf injuries?

A: Yes it can, by correcting faulty movement patterns and improving joint control, we reduce excessive load on your spine, hips, and shoulders, which lowers the risk of overuse golf injuries.

Increased swing power

Q: Can a golf chiropractor increase my clubhead speed?

A: In many cases, yes. Restoring rotation through your thoracic spine and hips, then sequencing that motion efficiently, allows you to generate more speed without swinging harder.

Better consistency

Q: Will this help my strike and ball flight?

A: Yes it should. When your body moves the same way every time, your low‑point control and clubface delivery become more repeatable, which improves strike quality and shot dispersion.

Faster recovery

Q: Can chiropractic care speed up recovery after golf?

A: Yes it should help. Targeted treatment and recovery strategies reduce post‑round stiffness, support tissue healing, and help you tolerate more practice and play with less downtime.

Golf chiropractor FAQs

Straightforward answers to common questions about golf swing analysis, chiropractic care, and how it fits with your coaching and training.

Key questions about golf chiropractic swing analysis

Is golf swing analysis only for injured golfers?

No. Many golfers book before they are injured to improve performance and prevent future problems. We work with both injured and pain‑free players who want better movement and more efficient swings.

Will you change my swing completely?

Usually not. Our priority is to improve how your body moves so your current swing becomes safer and more repeatable. Any technical changes are made in collaboration with your coach where needed.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your history, goals, and findings. After your first visit, we outline a clear plan with recommended frequency, review points, and expected timeframes for change.

Is chiropractic treatment safe for golfers with back issues?

Yes, when delivered by a registered chiropractor following a thorough assessment. We tailor techniques to your age, history, and comfort level, and we always explain options before treatment.

Do I need a referral from my GP or coach?

No referral is required. However, we are happy to communicate with your GP, physio, or coach to keep everyone aligned on your care and performance goals.

Can I keep seeing my current golf coach?

Absolutely. Our role is to optimise your body so your coach’s technical work is easier to apply. Many golfers find their lessons become more productive once physical limitations are addressed.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Wear or bring golf‑appropriate clothing, your usual golf shoes, and at least one or two clubs (typically a 7‑iron and driver). If you have recent scans or reports, bring those as well.
