Chiropractic adjustments may boost golfers' swing performance, according to a report in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine.

The study followed 43 golfers at two golf clubs in São Paulo, Brazil. The participants were divided into two groups. Between the two groups "average age, handicap, and initial swing were comparable."

Both groups took place in a stretching program. In addition, one group also received chiropractic adjustments once a week for four weeks.

At each session, "all golfers performed 3 full-swing maneuvers. Ball range was considered as the average distance for the 3 shots."

After four weeks, golfers who underwent both stretching and chiropractic care enjoyed significant improvement in full-swing performance. On the other hand, full-swing performance did not change significantly in the stretching-only group.
