Golf-Related Back Pain: The Problem

The motions that are least tolerated by the discs of the spine are bending and twisting. The repetitive rotation of the spine associated with the golf swing slowly degrades the integrity of the spinal discs causing them to eventually bulge, herniate or, worse, rupture.

Golf-Related Back Pain: Why Does This Happen?

The perfect golf swing (if there is such a thing) incorporates nearly every joint between the tips of the toes and the ends of the fingers. All these joints taken together create an unbroken chain. Any limitation in motion of any of these joints will shift the work burden up the chain to the spine causing increased strain, as well as wear and tear on the spinal discs. This can cause serious injury to the discs over time. In fact, research studies in sports medicine cite that approximately 30% of touring professionals are playing injured each week.

Unfortunately for golfers, the least tolerated spinal motion is twisting. The tough, outer layers of the disc overlap with one another like the layers of an onion. This design is effective at withstanding the compression due to gravity, but this design is extremely vulnerable to bending and twisting. Bending and twisting also happen to be the two main activities associated with golfing!

Golf-Related Back Pain: Spinal Decompression Solution

DTS Spinal Disc Decompression provides relief of golf related back pain. The bones of the spine are slowly and methodically separated using the breakthrough therapy utilizing the DTS machine. As the vertebrae are separated, pressure is slowly reduced within the disc (intradiscal pressure) until a vacuum is formed. This vacuum “sucks” the gelatinous center of the disc back into the disc thereby reducing bulged or herniated disc. Significant disc herniation reduction removes pressure of the spinal nerves and drastically reduces pain and disability. This “sucking” vacuum also pulls much-needed oxygen and nutrients into injured and degenerated discs allowing the healing to begin.

DTS Spinal Decompression is more effective than the earlier form of traction. The treatment motion is computer controlled to provide gentle and painless decompression of the injured spinal discs. Advanced spinal decompression techniques separate slowly and cycle between brief moments of pulling and relaxing (oscillation). This reduces protective muscle spasm that contributed the poor success rate of other “traction” techniques.
