We had the good fortune of connecting with Katheryne Castro and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Katheryne, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I was inspired to go to chiropractic school and then start Vitality Family Chiropractic after seeing firsthand the failure of our healthcare system on myself, my family and the rest of the world. I suffered a motor vehicle accident July 2, 2009 that changed my life. At the time I was a pre-nursing student at Kennesaw State University. EMTs at the scene could not explain how I was walking from that accident and even told me “God has a greater purpose with you.” Although, the external injuries were minor the internal injuries were tearing me apart. I had a neck brace for about a month, sought medical treatment for recurring migraines and all I was given was pain medication which in turn caused side effects such as constipation
and irritability; this was no way to live at the age of 18. The pain medication was only masking my symptoms but not truly addressing the root cause of these issues. After being referred to a chiropractor my life changed for the better and within a couple of months of safe, natural and precise care my body started to heal from the inside out. It was in that moment that I decided I wanted to be a chiropractor and change people’s lives in the same way. Today I know that the best approach to health is from the inside out, which all starts with having a properly functioning nervous system. I specialize in pediatric and prenatal care and overall family wellness,

What should our readers know about your business?
I’ve spent nearly my entire life in pursuit of why I exist and how I can impact others. Almost 6 years in practice and I have discovered the how to my WHY — It’s every single person that walks through our doors.

At Vitality Family Chiropractic our mission is to offer state-of-the-art chiropractic care, while nurturing and empowering those we serve to live a lifetime of vitality. We specialize in pediatric and prenatal care – it sets us apart from others because we prioritize the needs of children and expectant mothers, tailoring our care plans to ensure their comfort and well-being.

We are often asked – why do kids need to be adjusted? My answer is simple – healthy kids grow up to be healthy adults. We are giving them the best chance at optimal health and wellness.

Our journey to where we are today has been driven by a deep passion for improving the health and well-being of the families we serve. It has not been an easy journey and we have had to overcome quite a few obstacles along the way. My biggest takeaway- everything in life is a season and that as long as I trust in God I will always be okay, no matter how dark it gets there is always light at the end.

The success of Vitality Family Chiropractic has been in part to my perserverance. I like to focus only on that which is INTERNAL. Throughout the years in practice I’ve realized that my relationship with myself, God and the frequency in which I do things that make me feel useful greatly influences my mood, actions, and behavior. I figure that so long as I continually strengthen and improve upon the relationship I have with myself, and give what I learn to others, I will increase my chances of creating POSITIVE impact! Why I exist and what I live for has never been in question for me. I feel fulfilled when my actions touch and inspire positive action in others, and nothing warms my heart more than warming another’s. What I do and how I satisfy my desire to inspire is ever evolving.

I am so grateful for this amazing journey called LIFE and that God chose to use me as instrument to facilitate HEALING from Above, Down, Inside and Out to those that come to Vitality Family Chiropractic in search of ANSWERS. HOPE. HELP!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Favorite place to show – Helen, GA – I am obsessed with this small town and the waterfalls around it Another place to show – Georgia Aquarium – it’s a must for anyone in town
Place to eat – the Garden Room if we want it to be fancy or something as simple as brunch at First Watch
Place to hang out – Piedmont Park for a stroll and chit chat or you can’t go wrong with Suwanee Town Center Park or Downtown Roswell
