Is there a way to rid of pain for good, or at least minimize it? My lower back and neck have always bothered me, from sports and taking cheap shots in the back when I was younger from some d-bag football players.

Anyway, is there a way to get rid of the lower back pain and neck pain for good, or will it always be with me? What are some things you do to get rid of pain, or at least minimize it. I notice the pain in my back affects my full turn in my swing, also the pull down etc.

Tiger Woods has back pain, but he says it's going away. What do you think pros like him do to get rid of it? Obviously I don't have thousands of bucks to spend on some professionals etc.. but will massages help, and possibly chiropractic, or are those myths? Love to hear any tips.

Note: I do stretch a lot, and get my muscles warmed up before a practice or workout.. but I still have pain.

No Doc, but I do know about back pain. Depends on what's causing the pain, and what you do to minimize it, i.e. stetching and not over extending yourself.

My spine is twisted and curved, and I have Arthritis in my lower back, the pain has been with me for 53 yrs, as I got kicked in my back while sitting on the beach when I was 18, and yes, I wound up beating the crap outta the dude, but I pay the price for that every day.

Go see a Doctor, it may be something you can cure with rehab, ect. Don't wait like I did.

Okay, I'll ask my parents to see if I should see a doc. I went to a chiropractic nearly a year ago and my spin was all messed up, kinda sickened me.. it helped but was expensive. IDK really, they cracked my neck wayy too hard and gave me headaches. I want my back fixed though, it's effecting my swing. The neck pain doesn't really bother me much

If you're in high school and having back problems there could be some deep issues. None of which can be diagnosed by us non-doctors over the internet. See a doctor.

Alright, we'll see. It's not like crippling pain or that kind, but I can feel it just sitting down and it affects my swing.

I'm thinking it's just all the time I've worked, and my back is just hurt / sore.. practice a ton this week

We'll see.. doctor visits are expensive. IDK if it's serious, or just from the over massing work I did. I probably practiced nearly 50 or so hours this week

Your folks must have insurance..? at your age it's better to catch whatever is hurting you, Early, and to get it treated. I would gladly give 100k to have not had this pain all these years, better to safe than sorry...ya know..?

My point is that as a teenager, not much should be hurting, which is why there could be something wrong.

Well, seeing as we're not doctors and we're not actually performing any exams, it's hard to tell you to do anything other than see a doctor. Golf is obviously something you are passionate about and want to pursue, so, considering that's the case, go see a doctor; it'd be a shame for it to be something that hinders your game, especially if you could have prevented it.

Also, I know you want to improve and that you beat balls non stop trying to improve, but reading the thread on how to practice properly might help. You'll get better quicker and won't suffer from so much overuse if that is the problem.

If you didn't like Chiro try an Osteopathic.

You wrote earlier your neck and back have "always bothered you" due to cheap shots to the back, now you think it's overuse.  You asked for advice, you received very good advice, i.e. go see a doctor.  We can't examine you, we're not doctors, so you can either ignore the pain and hope it's not something serious or do the smart thing and go to a doctor.

Go see a chiro or a sports therapist.  If someone on this list is close to you, definitely go see them.  http://neurokinetictherapy.com/certified-practitioners

Get assessed and see what's going on.  I had some lower back pain several months ago and the exercises below were recommended to me by my chiro, worked well for me.  You might have completely different issues, back pain is definitely not a one fix cures all type of deal.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.

      Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
