GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Over the last 10 years, Dr. Josh Sannar has made it his mission to encourage the health and wellness of his patients, while offering much needed relief from pain. Pairing his passion for exercise and his medical services, he’s created a winning combo for many Gridley area residents with his gym and private chiropractic practice, Spin & Sport.

Dr. Sannar graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology & Sports Medicine from Brigham Young University in Utah and went on to Palmer College of Chiropractic in San Jose, CA, for his Doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine. After his graduation in 2001, Dr. Sannar primarily practiced the art of hands-on spinal manipulation, the foundation of the Chiropractic practice, to help those suffering from an array of back and sports related injuries.

In 2009, he combined his area of expertise with his love for cycling and exercise, opening Spin & Sport with his wife Erica Sannar, a certified body pump and Zumba instructor, in downtown Gridley

In 2015, the couple bit the bullet and purchased a large building located on the north end of Gridley on Hwy 99 originally used as a showroom and repair facility for large Ag equipment and tractors. The building took four years of grueling work to renovate, requiring everything from reinforced ceiling trusses to endless hours of drywall, down to fresh paint schemes.

The result of the work is the Sannars’ dream gym, which currently features a large cardio area, weight area, dedicated spin studio, an extremely large studio for classes, on-site massage therapist – Shannon Decker-Emerson with the Grounding Stone, and of course, Dr. Sannar’s private chiropractic office. While Dr. Sannar meets with patients, CEO and lead instructor, Erica, teaches classes and manages the business end of things.

In an exciting development for the family, Dr. Sannar will soon be offering his chiropractic services to patients at Orchard Hospital Medical Specialty Center two days a week, when he joins the team starting in early September. His private practice is fee-for-service and currently does not do any medical billing. In regard to being part of the Orchard team, Dr. Sannar expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I think it’s going to be a great opportunity to provide access to chiropractic services for patients with insurance coverage, plus working with providers in the same facility will allow for referrals,” so that patients get high quality, customized care needed from the MSC team.

The future is looking bright for Dr. Sannar and his personal business, with a partnership in the works between Orchard Hospital and Spin & Sport to provide discounted gym memberships for eligible hospital employees (Orchard Hospital also offers employee discounts for Gridley Fitness. Eligibility, terms and conditions set by Orchard Hospital).

Dr. Sannar will continue seeing patients at his private office at 1788 Hwy 99, in Gridley, Mon, Wed, Fri by appointment and is accepting new patients at the Orchard Hospital Medical Specialty Center in Gridley located at 284 Spruce St., Gridley.
