Free Zone Healing Chiropractic at the HTC
January 20th, 2010The HTC is proud to provide Zone Healing Chiropractic on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Dr. Nick Balovich, and avid martial artist and Zone Healer will be providing this revolutionary form of chiropractic to the students of HTC and the first appointment is FREE! Take advantage of this amazing treatment used by MMA legends and BJJ champions such as BJ Penn, Bas Rutten, Eddie Bravo, and John Macahdo to keep them in peak physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Here is what BJ Penn has to say about Zone Healing:
“I was a little skeptical and hesitant at first [of Zone Healing], but the alternative was to get surgery,” says Penn, who, at one point, could not lift his arm over his head. When Goldman made the initial adjustment, the discomfort was gone in 60 seconds, says Penn. When Goldman moved to the next area, the treatment and results were the same. “It was pretty crazy,” says Penn. “I still work with him to this day to help tune me up for my fights. Call it whatever you want, but the stuff works.”
Our ver own Team Hybrid Coach has been treated extensively by Dr. Nick Balovich over the last year and had this to say about him:
Dr. Nick has done an excellent job of melding the physical side of chiropractic work with the emotional side of everyday life. He has done an amazing job of keeping me whole during my most trying times and I cannot thank him enough.
To learn more about what Zone Healing is, watch the video above, or go to www.drbalovich.com. To schedule your first FREE appoinment call 757-483-0177.
