Unique Healing Method For Disc Issues Proves Highly Successful

Unique Healing Method For Disc Issues Proves Highly Successful

 

As was mentioned in a recent article, disc issues often plague grapplers during and often after their active years of training. Many methods of relief are tried, often with mediocre results. But maybe there is a solution.

There is a chiropractor in San Francisco, California that seems to be the exception here. Dr. Peter Goldman sfgoldman.com has a client list that includes Kron Gracie, BJ Penn, Rigan Machado, Gilbert Melendez, Clark Gracie, Carley Gracie, Rhalan Gracie, Ralston Gracie, Denny Prokopos, and Adem Redzovic to name a few. In fact, many of his clients fly from all over the world to see him in SF for treatment. The healing results appear to be in a class by themselves.

This recent quote from BJ Penn is eye opening:

“10 years ago Dr. Pete gave me so much relief from my herniated disc in my neck that it has never been a problem again. From that point on I have been a loyal follower of Dr. Pete and his work. Whenever I have a physical sickness or injury Dr. Pete is the person I contact right away for treatment or advice.”

Here is what Ralston Gracie, black belt under Carley Gracie and brother of Clark Gracie had to say:

“After having chronic pain for years due to knots in my neck and upper back, Dr. Pete has subsided that pain since I’ve been seeing him. I have dealt with many years of wear and tear to my neck, from acute injuries due to intensive training and heavy lifting, to chronic injuries from years of college studying and long term commuting. Any time I have a neck flare up he treats it like nothing, and the pain always disapears in the morning just like he says it will.”

Rhalan Gracie, son of Relson Gracie had this to add on the subject:

“I’m a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and I’ve been training in the art of jiu-jitsu for most of my life now, ever since I was a little kid. I’m on the mats almost every single day, training with people of all sizes and all ages. Anyone that lives the jiu-jitsu lifestyle will tell you that if you’re in the game long enough you’re bound to take impact and contusions. That’s where Doctor Pete comes in! Dr. Peter Goldman keeps me performing at my best, day in and day out. From dislocated ribs, to strained necks and slipped discs; Dr Pete keeps me going!”

What is the secret to success here? It could be the very unique technique of healing that Dr. Goldman has been working with for the last 21 years. It is called The Zone Technique zonetechnique.com and was created by Dr. Thurman Fleet in 1931.

Adem Redzovc of Team Redzovic in Chicago had this to say:

“Over 10 years ago I was suffering from herniated disks in my spine that made it impossible to walk at times. It was a very depressing time in my life. When I would look for help through Internet searches and doctor visits I would become even more depressed, I was told by doctors that without surgery I would not be able to return to competition or high intensity training. Thankfully the doctors were wrong. After working with dr Pete I am happy to say I have returned to an active life, have won titles at the black belts level in competition and have a positive outlook on my bodies ability to heal itself, all while avoiding back surgery.

 

Dr. Goldman has black belts in bjj and kyokushin full contact karate, so his understanding of the martial artist may also play a positive role.

If you are in pain and/or suffering from disc issues, maybe a trip to San Francisco will be worth your while to get back on the mats healed and pain free.
