Dr. Jose Cortes, D.C.

Dr. Cortes embodies the American Dream. Born in Cienfuegos, Cuba and raised in Brooklyn he has overcome many disadvantages through dedication to school and hard work.

A nationally ranked body builder Dr. Cortes spent several years working as a personal trainer before becoming a chiropractor. One day in November, 1996 he sustained a serious injury while training. Dr. Cortes had experienced injuries before while playing college football, but this was altogether different. He experienced shooting pains down one leg and sharp jolts with any movement in the low back. He met a local chiropractor and after successful treatments, Dr. Cortes found his life’s purpose in Chiropractic so he enrolled at Life University (Atlanta, GA).

Immersing himself in the in the Gonstead Technique, Dr. Cortes earned the Gonstead Student Certification for proficiency and became a lead instructor for the Gonstead Club. He also founded the Gonstead Mentorship Program at Life University, which continues today to prepare students for clinical work.

Dr. Cortes is a Gonstead Diplomate and recently received his basic extremity certification that allows him to treat conditions of the extremities. He is looking to continue to expand his abilities, and is pursuing his certifications in Wellness and Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP)

Dr. Cortes feels that chiropractic care is extraordinary in what it can do for his patients because it addresses the cause of the problem and doesn’t just try to treat the symptom. It also allows the body’s ability to heal itself to function optimally. Outside the clinic, Dr. Cortes enjoys spending time with his Family, tinkering with his Jeep, and rooting for the New York Yankees!
