The Joint Chiropractic - Ballantyne

Dr. John Bovard has been practicing Chiropractic in the south Charlotte and Fort Mill area ever since graduating from Logan Chiropractic College in 1996. He is originally from Minnesota and has lived in Iowa, Michigan and Missouri, before moving to the Carolinas. He received his undergraduate degree from Western Michigan University.

Dr. Bovard spent over a decade in private practice, before becoming the lead Chiropractor at one of the top integrated Chiropractic/Medical clinics in the Charlotte metro area. After eight years of integrative medicine, he made the decision to get back to his roots in natural health and healing by joining The Joint Chiropractic.

Dr. Bovard has been receiving chiropractic care since he was 5 years old. He doesn’t come from a family of chiropractors, however, he was raised in a family that believes that true health comes from good lifestyle choices, while keeping your body and nervous system functioning at its peak potential, through regular spinal adjustments. “It is my passion to help individuals achieve their health goals and live a more functional, active and pain-free life.”

Dr. Bovard enjoys spending his free time outdoors, either working in the yard or on a hike. He is a member and supporter of the Anne Springs Close Greenway, in Fort Mill, SC. He and his finance’, Kim, enjoy vacationing north of the border in Canada. They have been to Banff National Park, Quebec, St. Lawrence Seaway and as far as Alaska. While on a hike in Alaska, they met a couple who recognized Kim’s unmistakable North Carolina accent. That couple happened to be from Hickory, NC.

Dr. Bovard has a son in the MCJROTC at Nations Ford High School. His daughter runs track at Butler High School and is studying health sciences. Maybe she will follow in her dad’s footsteps.

Dr. Andrew Evec was raised in Louisiana, Missouri, a small town north of St. Louis. He attended University of Missouri and received a BS in Biology. His love for Mizzou football is still strongly present in the Carolinas. Dr. Evec went on to attend Logan Chiropractic College and received a BS in Human Biology and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. After graduation, he headed to the Carolinas to pursue his dream to be a business owner and opened up his private clinic in Indian Trail, NC. He served the community of Indian Trail for 19 years. He enjoyed getting people out of pain and loved treating sports injuries. As a high school athlete himself, Dr. Evec, could relate being injured in sports and being on the side lines. He suffered neck pain and lower back pain from a hit in a football game, so his parents took him to several MD’s but nothing would help relieve his pain. Finally, they took him to a Chiropractor and after a few adjustments, he was pain free and could play football again. His team went on to win the State Title that year!

In 2018, Dr. Evec sold his private practice due to the increasing demands and lack of coverage with insurance companies. While pursuing other business options, Dr. Evec covered several Chiropractic offices and one was The Joint Chiropractic. He came home from filling in at The Joint and immediately told his wife, Sue, that they needed to look into opening up The Joint. He fell in love with The Joint model because he could still practice quality chiropractic care at an affordable price for patients without having to deal with the headaches of insurance companies.

Dr. Evec’s love of sports continues as he has coached baseball for his son, Chase, for many years. He loves family time, especially when its revolved around a sporting activity, such as golf, fishing and boating. But most of all his passion is to enjoy whatever his son, Chase, is into, while keeping him healthy with regular Chiropractic adjustments.
