Broke my back in December- had to learn a far different swing

[rodge]

Hello!  As the title says, I broke 3 vertebrae on Dec 6th.  It was pretty awful, would not recommend it.  43 and zero broken bones…decided to go big for my first time.  
 

I’m just getting back (ha) to swinging again and obviously there are some fairly major tweaks I had to make to accommodate my inability to separate my hips.  I used to be much more resistant, upright and steep, so maybe this change to a more rounded and inside/out swing will be a better thing in the long run because I have to turn my entire body together.   
 

My main question is- does this swing look like it’s back-friendly?  I have to ask because swinging never hurt me, and still doesn’t.  I could hit balls for hours before and can’t do that yet, but so far it feels good, but wondering if there’s anything more I can do.  
 

Thank you!

I'm not able to see the swing video, but I can share some personal experiences that might help.

 

The short version is that I have issues with T10-12 that can flare up if I overwork myself. In speaking with my ortho I showed him my two swing options. A single-axis dechambeau style and a "Mike Austin" style. I have never done a conventional swing. My question to him was about longevity which will stress my back the least. He said the Mike Austin style without a doubt. Over a single axis and conventional. 

 

This has been demonstrated in my golfing. While I much prefer the single axis for accuracy. The Mike Austin swing does not give me issues. 

If you are not familiar Austin was the first person to get a degree in Kinesiology and he designed the swing with the most natural human movements in mind. Check it out it might be your answer.
