What does a TPI Certified chiropractor do for golfers?

I'm Dr. Dave Atlas, a TPI Certified, sports-focused chiropractor. TPI is the Titleist Performance Institute, the organization behind the certification. My aim with every patient is the one in my bio: helping athletes and active people move better, perform at their best, and stay injury-free.

Golf isn't abstract for me. Alongside weightlifting, pickleball and paddleboarding, it's one of the things I do for fun, so I know what it's like when your body won't do what you're asking of it on the course.

Pick your starting point

Where should a golfer start?

  • My lower back is sore after a round

    Start with lower back pain after golf. It's built on one of my reels: “Lower back sore after a round of golf? You may need to train opposite side rotation.”

  • My rotation feels stiff or one-sided

    Read golf rotation exercises for both sides of your swing: why I train anti-rotation and counter-rotation in both directions, and what that does for your speed and for your thoracic spine and hips.

  • My back hurts off the course too

    Dr. Abby's page on seeing a chiropractor for lower back pain covers lower backs in general, golf or not.

Screening

What is a TPI screen?

One golfer wrote this in a Google review:

"As a golfer, I'm always looking for a practitioner who understands my specific frustrations when it comes to playing pain-free and Dave has the training and the Titleist Performance Institute Certification that gives me confidence I'm in credible and capable hands. Thanks team!"
