Back and Hip Pain Slowing You Down? Chiropractic Care for Runners and Golfers in Mendon, Pittsford, and Beyond

Whether you're lacing up for a run on the Lehigh Valley Trail or hitting the greens in Victor, back and hip pain can put a serious dent in your active lifestyle. At Rochester Sports Chiropractic, we help patients in Mendon, Pittsford, Honeoye Falls, Henrietta, and Victor get back to doing what they love—without nagging pain.

Why Back and Hip Pain Are So Common

Back and hip pain often go hand in hand, especially for people who run or golf regularly. Common causes include:

  • Muscle imbalances or joint restrictions

  • Poor posture or biomechanics

  • Old injuries that never fully healed

  • Overuse from repetitive motions like swinging a golf club or pounding the pavement

Left untreated, these issues can lead to compensation patterns, decreased performance, and chronic discomfort.

Runners: Stop Letting Pain Dictate Your Mileage

Running is great for your heart—but tough on your joints if your body isn’t moving efficiently. Many runners we treat from Pittsford, Victor, and Henrietta suffer from:

  • Low back pain from poor core stability

  • Hip pain due to tight hip flexors or glutes

  • Sciatica or piriformis syndrome caused by muscle imbalances

Chiropractic adjustments, combined with soft tissue therapy and custom rehab exercises, help restore proper alignment and mobility so you can run stronger, longer, and pain-free.

Golfers: Improve Your Swing by Improving Your Spine

A good golf swing demands flexibility, rotation, and balance. If your spine or hips aren’t moving correctly, your swing suffers—and so does your back. Golfers from Honeoye Falls, Mendon, and Pittsford often deal with:

  • Low back pain from spinal restrictions

  • Hip tightness that limits rotation

  • Shoulder and elbow strain from compensations

We take a sports-specific approach to chiropractic care, helping golfers restore mobility and stability through the spine and hips. That means more power, better control, and less pain.
