Dr. Herman Glass has built a sustainable and thriving practice in the chiropractic industry spanning over four decades. During this period, he has garnered many accomplishments, such as being the sole owner and director of Glass Chiropractic Health Plaza since 1985.
Dr. Glass was appointed the first chiropractor to the Michigan Cancer Foundation Board in 1985. He was appointed to the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners by Gov. James Blanchard in February 1988 through January 1992, and re-appointed to the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners by Gov. John Engler from February 1992 through February 1996. He served as a staff physician in New Center Hospital’s pioneering Chiropractic Program in 1988 and an adjunct professor at Texas Chiropractic College in Houston from 1985 to 1995. He served as past president of the American Black Chiropractic Association from 1989 to 1992.
We were delighted to catch up with Dr. Glass to talk about his holistic journey as one of the leading chiropractors in the nation.
BLACK ENTERPRISE: You have an extensive, tenured career—but what does your practice look like today?
GLASS: I practice holistic wellness practice, with an emphasis on holistic weight loss as alternatives to the injectables (i.e., Ozempic and Wegovy). I have been in Detroit and recently celebrated 39 years at the same location. I’m the only chiropractor holistic doctor among the members of the Detroit Medical Society. Weekly, I get referrals, but I’m proud to say that all of my referral doctors “look like me.” Arabs refer Arabs, and Jews refer Jews. So, it’s great to have a strong Black referral network here in Detroit.
BE: Are there a lot of Black chiropractors across the country that you know or are aware of?
BE: Let’s talk about your practice’s “holistic” aspect.
BE: Share more on achieving wellness through holistic health.
GLASS: The key is the chiropractic doctor is the only doctor who does not prescribe pharmaceutical medications. Because of this, we are the leading licensed doctors who can truly concentrate on a holistic emphasis. The chiropractors in our scope are not physical therapists, but we write the orders for the physical therapists to carry out their work.
BE: Do you pursue other hobbies outside of medicine?
