What does it take to build a successful chiropractic practice from the trunk of a Cadillac and a fold-up table?
In this episode, Dr. Joseph Hans proves that resilience, discipline, and tenacity can outwork almost any obstacle.
Dr. Joseph “Dr. Joe” Hans joins Darrell Burrow to share a remarkable journey that spans competitive bodybuilding, labor-intensive jobs, teaching physical education, and ultimately building one of Georgia’s most respected chiropractic and injury care practices.
From placing third in Teenage Mr. America at 19 to launching a mobile chiropractic clinic that served accident victims before rideshare existed, Dr. Hans’s career is a masterclass in hustle and service. He explains why chiropractic care plays a critical role in injury recovery, especially after auto accidents, and how early treatment can protect both health outcomes and legal claims.
This conversation goes beyond credentials. It is about perseverance, patient advocacy, and doing whatever it takes to help people heal.

A car crash can leave injuries that are easy to see, like a broken nose or facial bruising. Other changes may become clear later, when someone notices they cannot breathe as well, hear as well, or smell the way they did before.
A car crash rarely creates just one legal problem. The injury claim may receive the most attention, but the financial, insurance, traffic, bankruptcy, and estate-planning consequences can continue long after the vehicles are removed from the road.
This special drop-feed episode features Crashes, Claims & Clarity host Darrell Burrow as the guest on Legacy Blueprint Plan It Forward, hosted by Georgia estate planning attorney Mike Bascom.
