Meet The Doctors

Dr. Graciela Carrau-Hernandez became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in Savannah, Ga. in 2022, and in 2023 she joined the team at the Athens clinic, doing the work she finds so rewarding.

“I love to help my patients reach their optimal health,” she says. “I strive to listen to every patient’s individual needs, and to help them understand how important their nervous system function is to maintain a healthy life. I really like the sense of community you gain as a chiropractor. It has led me to build relationships with people in so many different professions, and I get to learn from them as well.”

Dr. G., as her patients call her, is originally from Penuelas, Puerto Rico. “I grew up on a tropical island, completely different from living in Georgia,” she says. She has an Australian Labradoodle named Hope who loves to play and is obsessed with sweet potato treats and peanut butter. “I love a little bit of everything, from going hiking to sitting all day reading a good book,” Dr. G. says. “I love to cook and bake as well.”

Dr. G. went to Georgia State University where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Neuroscience. She got a Doctorate of Chiropractic at Life University in Marietta, Ga.

“I always wanted to be in the healthcare field,” she says. “At some point I thought about medical school, but it never fully resonated with my values and approach to health. I think when I changed my major to neuroscience and finally understood how chiropractic was directly connected to the nervous system that I knew this was the right field for me.”

One of her most memorable experiences as a chiropractor involved treating a patient who came to her as a last resource. “She had been to multiple providers before, and during her examination she brought forward all the conditions and issues she was experiencing,” Dr. G. says. “A couple of weeks later she came in and said ‘thank you’ for not dismissing her concerns, for taking the time to make her feel heard, and for helping her take action and gain control of her health.”

In Case You Didn’t Know

You can always find Poppi prebiotic sodas in Dr. G.’s refrigerator. “I cannot live without them,” she says.

If she could plan the ideal dinner party including four famous people, Dr. G. would invite Marie Curie, Frida Khalo, Julia de Burgos, and Rita Moreno. “All four were powerful and inspiring women, each in their respective field, striving for more,” she says. “These women bridged many of the gaps that existed in male-dominated professions.”

The most memorable experiences she’s ever had were while traveling. “I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel to many different countries around the world,” she says. “I had the ability to be immersed in different cultures and educate myself on their way of life.”

The best book Dr. G. has ever read is Night by Eli Wiesel. “This book portrayed the suffering of the Jews during World War II and their longing to be reunited with their loved ones,” she says. “It made me reflect and be grateful for the freedoms we have today and for my ability to be close to my family.”

Dr. Derek Negron, D.C. is a Chiropractor at Athens

Dr. Derek Negron Castro joined The Joint Chiropractic in 2023 when he became part of the team at the Athens clinic, where he does the rewarding work of helping people as their local healthcare provider.

“Chiropractic enables me to help people search for the cause of their symptoms to alleviate them through a holistic approach to health through adjustments, exercise, and nutrition,” he says. “I enjoy watching patients smile after getting up from the table. It recharges my day to see them feeling better than they did before lying down.”

. D, as his patients call him, grew up in Puerto Rico, where he was inspired to pursue chiropractic work after visiting a chiropractor for a shoulder injury and recovering in less than two weeks. “I always wanted a career in health services,” he says. “Once I felt how chiropractic can have an immediate impact on health and pain symptoms, I decided to pursue the chiropractic field.”

When he’s not at work, Dr. D likes participating in a wide range of sports. “Working out is the highlight of my day after taking care of patients,” he says.

He attended the University of Puerto Rico at Ponce, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training. He got a Doctorate of Chiropractic at Life University in Marietta

One of Dr. D’s most memorable experiences as a chiropractor involved a young girl with migraine headaches who had been to multiple practitioners for treatment, without success. “After receiving physical therapy there was no improvement in her symptoms,” he says. “It was a hard situation, but I trusted my instincts, trusted in my routine and the chiropractic approach. When she got up and most of the pain was gone, she was almost in tears. I cried with joy after she left.”

In Case You Didn’t Know

He always has orange juice in the refrigerator. “It’s been my go-to since forever,” he says.

Dr. D continues to be inspired by good advice, including: “Nothing material-wise defines you as a person, not even the profession you choose, the grades you get, or the good athlete you are. Being a good person comes from the heart and how you treat others – nowhere else

If he could offer advice to others, he would say, “Don’t stress about little things in life, be grateful for what you have, have a mindset for more, and enjoy the process.”
