Extractions: Bakersfield California Chiropractor - Auto Accidents- Family Care- Massage Therapy- Laser Therapy Anatomy of a Golf Injury by Jeffry Blanchard, DC The typical amateur golfer can swing golf club 90 miles an hour. When your patients swing their clubs out of position or out of balance, they put tremendous strain on their joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. When the force applied to the tissues exceeds their resistance, they will tear. For more information on good swing biomechanics go to http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1999/07_99/metz.htm We call tissue tears "strains" or "sprains," depending on their severity. Soft-tissue injuries can heal in six to eight weeks, depending on the severity of the injury and the age of the patient. However, when soft tissue heals, it becomes weaker than before the injury occurred. The injury site will mend with scars you cannot see. Scar tissue (fibrocytes) will infiltrate and replace the original tissue in and around the injury site. Fibrocytes are weaker, less elastic and more pain-sensitive than original soft tissue. When challenged by the movement of the body, fibrocytes will not lengthen and give way; instead, they get angry; become irritated and inflamed; and restrict normal joint motion.

Extractions: By Carlton Vinson Winston-Salem's Beacon Golf and Its Putter On a Roll Beacon Golf was a hit at the recent PGA Show. And at the recent Greensboro Golf Show, there were large numbers of people trying out and purchasing the new putter. Like many good ideas, this putter had its beginning on the golf course. C.H. McMahan of Advance was having one of those days. From tee to green, he was flawless, but once on the putting surface he couldn't convert. That experience, and two years of research and development, led to the founding of Beacon Golf and an entire line of putters designed to keep the putter head on line and send more balls to the bottom of the cup. McMahan's design features a patent-pending Tri-Balance technology. By rearranging the elements of the club head such that the center of mass of the putter head is disposed further away from the face, rather than near the face, McMahan has reduced the tendency to rotate the clubhead away from its intended travel path, greatly improving accuracy in putting. "The heel-toe weighting in putters has been a substantial improvement in design, but it doesn't go far enough," said McMahan. "By adding a third weight area, we have completed a triangle of sorts, and everyone knows the strength and stability of the triangle." Both lines of Beacon putters (blades and mallets) utilize the Tri-Balance technology and all carry the names of something golfers hold near and dear-"birdies"-such as robins, orioles and hummingbirds.
