Master Golf and Your Chiropractor
Masters Season
April 11-14th is some of the greatest days of the year. I am certain you don’t need to ask why. It’s the week of the Masters Golf tournament. Ninety of the best golfers in the world invade Augusta Georgia to play golf in the year’s first major tournament.
What does this have to do with chiropractic care in Rolla Mo? First off I enjoy Golf, I love chiropractic care and so if I can write about both I am ecstatic. The PGA of America hires several doctors and physical therapist to help keep the best golfers in the world in tip top shape. The PGA also employs the services of chiropractors as well.
Dr. Tom LaFountain, DC initially worked with the US Olympic speed skating team before he began working with the PGA in 1997. He states the since 2000 approximately 72% of the golfers on the PGA receive chiropractic care.
Think about it, 72% of the best golfers in the world use the services of a chiropractor to maintain their most important tool, their body. These professionals’ livelihoods depend on their spines mobility and range of motion.

Over these past 18 years he has had the pleasure of treating PGA golfers, professional football players and baseball players.
