The chiropractic treatment plan for our Georgetown neck pain and back pain patients always consists of patient participation. And this newest study about tennis players and their serves interested us.

This new study of tennis players and back pain points to a link between back pain, the kinematics of the serve and the range of motion it demands. Intriguingly, all the tennis players in one study attained the end of their lumbar spine range of motion while serving. (1) Wow! That’s pushing the spine! Coaches may want to help their players adjust their serves to protect their spines.
