Dr Josh Glass has been in practice since 2001. His successful care of athletes is based upon his life-long background in sports and his academic and chiropractic education. Road races and youth track in the mid 1980’s in East Cobb led to being an All-Region Cross-Country and Track athlete and team captain at Wheeler High School. He went on to compete for the varsity cross-country and track teams at the University of Georgia from 1991 – 1996. At UGA, Josh was a varsity letterman, cross-country team captain and received academic All-Conference honors. At UGA, his academic emphasis was exercise physiology and biomechanics, graduating with a B. Ed in Exercise Science in 1996. Josh received his Doctorate in Chiropractic, Cum Laude, from Life Chiropractic College in 2001. Josh also completed a lengthy internship in sports chiropractic during his undergraduate and graduate studies from his father, Dr. Hank Glass. Since finishing his collegiate athletic career, Josh has continued to compete in road races and added road/mountain biking, adventure racing, snow boarding, duathlons and triathlons to his pursuits.

Georgia Sports Chiropractic opened its doors to athletes in 1991 with a goal that has remained constant: To help injured athletes get healthy and keep them that way. To accomplish this goal, each athlete’s structural biomechanics are analyzed and then compared to the biomechanical demands of their sport. In this format, each athlete is treated and given a specific recovery/rehabilitation plan that makes sense for them and their training program. Consideration is also given to the daily demands and postural ergonomics that can be contributing factors. The end result is recovery for injuries quicker and having a plan in place to prevent future occurrence and stay at peak performance in their respective sport. Most major insurance companies are in- network.
