Woods said the sacrum bone in his back was dislodged when he played his second shot on the second hole on Sunday, but that his physio had "popped the bone back in".
"My physio is here so if it goes out he is able to fix it," said Woods, who arrived at Valhalla on Wednesday and played the front nine alongside Steve Stricker, Davis Love and Harris English before speaking to reporters.
"I still need to build up strength and it going to take more time. The treatment has been fantastic,
ping g25 driver, once the bone was put back in the spasms went away and from there I started to get some range of motion."
Woods beat Bob May in a play off to win the US PGA the last time it was held at Valhalla in 2000,
titleist ap1 714, but missed the Ryder Cup when it was held at the Kentucky venue in 2008.
The course has since undergone extensive renovation led by designer Jack Nicklaus, but Woods caddie Joe LaCava has been scouting the layout.
"I had my (yardage) book from 2000 but it useless. Joey has been here and got a pretty good handle on it," added Woods, who opted to just chip and putt on the back nine. "I feel pretty good about how I played. I need to get more of a feel how this course is playing.
"I going to try and go out and win this event that all I focusing on."
Woods has not won a major in six years and returned from surgery at the Quicken Loans National in June, but missed the cut before finishing 69th at the Open earlier this month.
His participation at Valhalla is good news for US Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson,
titleist ap2 714, who admitted Sunday withdrawal "did not bode well" for his selection for the team to take on Europe at Gleneagles in September.
The former world number one cannot qualify automatically and Watson has previously said he would pick him if he was healthy and playing well.
"I am encouraged,
titleist ap2 714," said Watson. "Obviously he not in great health and he hasn played very well. So the question is, will I pick him? Well, I can tell until things happen in the next three or four weeks.
"He said to me he really wants to make the team in the worst way,
titleist 915 d2. This Ryder Cup is a big thing and these players really want to make the team and bring that cup back to the United States."
