Sore back remedies after a round of golf??

Bad back as well. You must stretch before the round. Never hit balls cold. Google some lower back stretches, get some bands and do it before every round/pracrice.

I would try stretching on a pull up bar. Hanging for 10-30 second increments helps me along with everything else you’re doing. Inversion table is similar. Forcing a stretch and either cold or hot water therapy after a round benefits me most

To add, get a standing desk at work if you’re sitting for most the week.

Stretching before a round is crucial. I'm 41 and been dealing with a bad back for years. Didn't take care of myself. Good stretching before I'd say. Heating pad and a bourbon after.

For soreness and minor back pain, The McKenzie Method works wonders.

For dealing with a stronger pain and discomfort like I get, The Radio Ablation Therapy procedure has been a miracle. It usually last a year or a little longer for me and my Doc does it in his office in 30 minutes.

Start lifting weights. Specifically strengthening your legs.

How much do you weigh and how often do you routinely exercise?

I don’t like needles at all but acupuncture works well. I tried it and was amazed. You are treating the symptoms and not the cause though probably.

I agree. I have lost 23 pounds and it's taken a lot of stress off the back and knees.

STRETCH!!!!!!
OR, like me ... marry a PT!!!

These stretches are CRUCIAL for my flexibility.
I'm 63 and sit all day at computer. Not good for flexibility.

Stretch your Hammies! More.
I try to hold all stretches 30 sec minimum and goal of one minute or more.

• Hip Flexors
- Start by kneeling on your left knee, putting your right foot in front of you.
– Put your hands on your hips, or on your knee in front of you for stability.
– Lean forward, making sure to extend your hips forward. You should feel the stretch in your hips and groin for the most part.
– Hold this position for about 20-30 seconds, and then return to your knees.
– Repeat this sequence by switching sides, putting your left foot forward.

• Lying Knee Roll-Over Lower Back Stretch
– Lie down, then bring your knees to your chest.
– Lay your arms out to your side and roll your knees to the right, as far down as you can. Rpeat other direction
– This will loosen your lower back, and make it easier to twist in your golf swing.

• Figure 4 Stretch
– Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor.
– Cross your right ankle over your left knee and keep your right foot flexed.
–Bring your left knee toward your chest. Reach your right hand through your legs and interlace your fingers just below the crease of your left knee.
–Using your arms, pull your left knee toward your chest, pausing when you feel a stretch in your right glute and hip.
–Hold there for at least five breaths (though you can hold the stretch for up to two minutes) then release and repeat on your left side

• Knee to Opposite Shoulder
– Starting in a supine position, draw (left/right) knee into the chest.
– Hold for (duration).
– Slowly draw that knee over to the opposite shoulder keeping your back on the ground.
