Is this you?
Many golfers come to us before they have a diagnosis. Something feels off during a round, and it keeps showing up.
- A catch in your lower back after the first nine holes.
- Stiffness in your lead hip that makes it hard to rotate through the ball.
- Legs or core losing power by the back nine.
- Soreness in the trail-side shoulder or lead-side elbow that appears only after hitting balls at the range.
- A blocked feeling during your backswing or follow-through.
- Several days of rest after a single round before you feel normal again.
- A swing that changes from day to day because your muscles feel tight or unresponsive.
These sensations are often signs that your body is compensating for a lack of range of motion somewhere else. By addressing these physical signals, we help Barrington golfers move past the "playing through the pain" mentality.

I'm 53 years old and love being active by working out, walking and playing lots of golf. … Chirofit is an integral part of my fitness/recovery program.

Visit 1 is where the assessment happens.
What the assessment looks at
It feels more like an athletic assessment than a standard doctor's visit. The TPI assessment is a series of physical tests that measure your balance, flexibility and core stability as they relate to the golf swing. We look at how your ankles move, how your hips rotate, and how well you can separate your upper body from your lower body.
TPI calls this the Body-Swing Connection: a physical limit in a joint or muscle showing up as a specific swing characteristic. It is how we can explain why something like S-posture or loss of posture is happening, rather than guessing at it.
TPI's Medical Level 2 course is built on the Selective Functional Movement Assessment, and Dr. Crosson is SFMA Level 2 certified. You'll be told what was found, in plain language, before anyone touches a treatment plan.

Golf chiropractic and TPI assessment in Barrington, Illinois
ChiroFit assesses golfers in Barrington with a history, an examination and a TPI-based assessment of how the body moves through the swing. What that finds decides which of these go into your plan, in one building, with one team.
Care here is active. You won't just be lying on a table; you will be learning movements that help unlock your swing.
Depending on what the assessment finds, care may include:
- Chiropractic adjustment
- Manual and soft-tissue therapy
- Dry needling
- Shockwave and laser
- Corrective exercise, the movements that matter for your swing, taught so you can keep doing them between visits
We work with your instructor, not around them.
You already have an instructor. We don't replace them; we work with them. With your say-so, what the assessment finds is shared with the person coaching your swing, so the two of you aren't working from different pictures of the same body. You won't have to carry findings from one appointment to the other yourself.
What your first two visits look like
Your appointment starts when it's scheduled to start, a standard we hold ourselves to.
Before work · after work · Saturday mornings
Visit 1 takes about 30 to 40 minutes: your history, an examination, an assessment, and digital X-rays if they're warranted. If you do need imaging it's done here, that day, so you're not sent somewhere else and asked to come back.
Visit 2 is where you hear everything.
What was found, what the plan is, how your insurance applies and what it will cost, all before any treatment starts.
Your intake forms are done online before you arrive, so there's no clipboard and nothing standing between you and your appointment time.
Wear what you can move in. Shorts or loose trousers if the trouble is in your back, hip or knee. You don't need to bring a club or a video of your swing.
What it costs, and when you'll know
The TPI assessment is $75. That's the cash price if you weren't injured playing golf. If you were, insurance may cover it, and we'll check your benefits at your first visit.
We accept most insurance plans. Upon your initial visit, we will request a copy of your insurance card to verify benefits. Should you require payment for a copay or co-insurance, we will promptly inform you of the applicable charges.
No insurance. No worries. Cash visits are available. The cost of a cash visit can vary between $65 and $100, contingent upon the specific services rendered during your initial appointment. We also offer cash pricing for routine visits, which can range between $50 and $75.
Your second visit is complimentary. That is where the findings, the plan and the cost are laid out, before any treatment starts.
Any additional testing, such as X-rays, will be discussed with you before it takes place. Shockwave, RPW and laser cost extra, and we will discuss that with you in advance. Outside our scope? We'll refer you immediately.
Questions golfers ask
Will you change my swing?
No. That's your instructor's job. Ours is to make sure your body has the mobility, stability and power to execute the swing your coach wants you to have. If the assessment finds a physical limit behind a swing characteristic, we treat the limit and, with your say-so, tell your instructor what we found.
Do I need a diagnosis before I come in?
No. Visit 1 is your history, an examination and the assessment. Visit 2 is where you hear what was found and what, if anything, to do about it.
Can I book with Dr. Crosson specifically?
Yes. There are three doctors here, in one location. You choose yours when you book, and you see the same one at every visit. Dr. Crosson is the TPI Level 2 Medical provider, so pick him at the provider step.
Does insurance cover the TPI assessment?
Only if you were injured playing golf. If you weren't, it's a $75 cash visit. Either way, you'll know the cost before any treatment starts.
