Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Hands on Health Care emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big surge in the popularity of our wellness center.
We understand that arriving at a doctors office for the first time can be nerve racking. Filling out paperwork, learning new faces and names, and getting to know your way around the office can be an overwhelming experience. That's why at Hands on Health Care our aim is to remove any stress or causing unnecessary tension and to make you feel comfortable.
Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem.
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Sandra Castro to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Sandra Castro to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them - that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.

If I could give Dr Castro and the Chirothin weightloss program 10 stars I would! I Am Forever Grateful!!!
After completing the Chirothin diet I have lost between 40-45lbs. I have been able to keep the weight off and maintain a healthy life style. I currently live in S. Carolina and Dr Castro has been very supportive via phone and text. I have tried many diets and have yoyo'ed throughout my life. Once I hit 40, I was finding harder and harder to lose. I'm currently 49, and Chirothin has been a game changer. Within the first week/week and a half, my energy levels began to change, and overall

Amazing chiropractor. Sandra has a set of the most Magical hands you will find anywhere on planet earth. I could barely walk or move 24 hrs ago. I'm now a plane now she always manages to get me back on my feet in hours. She has been treating me for over 20 years. A real doctor that can treat any chronic condition. She is a master healer and unparalleled! Trust her dearly.

Chirothin and Dr. Sandra are AMAZING! Following the plan was easy and the results were beyond what I imagined or even hoped for. In six-weeks, I lost 26 pounds. It's been a month (without being overly conservative) and I've kept the weight off. I still weigh myself daily, and I've kept within a +/- 4 or so pounds. I feel like the old me from years ago! I'm looking forward to another round in a few weeks! Thank you, Dr. Sandra! 10 stars!

I came in to see Sandra after a friend highly recommended her. I had been experiencing some pain in my lower back around my left hip as well as in my left rib cage area. I have now been in to see Sandra 5 times and my rib cage is as good as new and my hip is almost 100%. Highly professional, personable, and caring. The treatment I received was customized to me and my issues... I never felt as though I was just another patient. If you want individual care in a friendly and professional manner... then go see Sandra!

Dr. Sandra Castro has been a friend and family Chiropractor for us for many years. I took a sabbatical for some time where I was not receiving Chiropractic care and I could really feel the difference when I was not going. Once I started seeing Dr Castro again, I knew that I could not go without her hands-on care. Not only have I benefited from seeing her, so has my son. He was born on September 3, 2013 and I brought him to see Dr Castro within the first week of being born. She used the activator on him to make some adjustments and I could tell from her work that first day with him that she had

Our family LOVES Dr. Castro! My kids have been seeing her since they were babies and they are never sick. She has helped my husband with some severe problems. Not only does she give amazing adjustments but she has extensive knowledge on what to do to keep us healthy. She is very thorough and cares about her patients. You come out of her office feeling 100%. She is extremely accurate in targeting what needs to be done and we all have not had to see a medical doctor in years. Not only is she great if you have a problem but she helps us prevent illness. Dr. Castro's office is a modern facility

I'm a chiropractor myself and Dr. Castro's been taking care of me for years. Needless to say, I've been adjusted A LOT, by A LOT of docs over the years and there's a reason why I trust my body and my health care to her. She's a great adjuster, she's always learning new ways to take even better care of people and she's caring. Her assistant, Donna is top notch as well. I'm happy to be a member of their practice.
