Meet Dr. John R. Zielonka

Enjoying the Benefits of Chiropractic

Dr John photoWith parents who were ahead of their time in thinking about health, Dr. John Zielonka, B.Sc, D.C., C.O.H., A.R.T., C.C.R.D. started wellness chiropractic care when he was just 10 years old. Some years later, he was playing rugby when the chiropractor helped him return from an injury.

“An opponent tried to tackle me around the neck, but I kept running. At the end of the match, it seemed as if my neck was twice as long on one side. The choices were to go to a medical doctor for a neck brace and painkillers to cover up the problem, or see the chiropractor. Within a few weeks of chiropractic care, I was back to normal.”
