Aligning Body and Mind: The Power of Chiropractic Care with Dr. Caroline Hernandez

Hey Bellingham

In this episode of Hey, Bellingham, host Kyle Gillette interviews Dr. Caroline Hernandez, co-owner of Natural Way Chiropractic in Ferndale. Dr. Hernandez shares her journey from military service to becoming a chiropractor, emphasizing chiropractic care's holistic, inside-out approach.
She discusses the importance of spine alignment and the body’s healing ability. She offers insights into how chiropractic treatment can prevent injuries, improve overall health, and even help with conditions like infertility. Dr. Hernandez also touches on her life in Whatcom County, sharing her love for the local community and lifestyle.

Three Key Insights:

1. Holistic Healing from the Inside Out: Dr. Hernandez explains how chiropractic care focuses on the body's innate ability to heal by ensuring proper communication between the brain and body through the nervous system. This process helps correct subluxations and allows the body to function optimally.
2. Chiropractic Care as Preventative Medicine: Many people only seek chiropractic care when in pain, but Dr. Hernandez advocates for regular adjustments to prevent injuries and maintain overall health. She compares it to brushing your teeth—you don’t wait for cavities to start brushing; similarly, you shouldn’t wait for pain to visit a chiropractor.
3. Chiropractic’s Broad Impact: Chiropractic care can influence many areas of health beyond back pain. Dr. Hernandez shares stories of patients who have experienced improvements in fertility, reduced migraines, and even better emotional regulation in children after receiving chiropractic treatment.

Quote from Dr. Hernandez: "Everyone's body has an innate ability. It's the ability of the brain to communicate down into the body through the nervous system, through every single nerve. And when we have subluxations, it causes the brain and the body not to communicate properly. So, chiropractic care helps remove that interference and allows the body to heal itself."
