The Spine
I think the spine must play a part in a golfer's ability.
I have always had mild scholiosis. After going to the chiropractor for adjustments for the past 2 years I have a much, much better turn. I have always had a hard time turning and used to slide more than I turned.
The goal of chiropractic is to eliminate subluxations, or misaligments, in the spine, with the end result being a normal spine. A normal spine looks straight when viewed from behind. When viewed from the side, it has three curves- one in the neck, one in the upper back, and one just above the pelvis.
I'm not completely sure if my pivot is improved because I have practiced so much or because my spine is more in line...
...but if you think of it, it makes sense that it would improve. Think of anything mechanical rotating around a bent centre pin. It just doesn't work.
I think there is something to this. What do you guys think?
