Chiropractor
Dylan Hernandez D.C.
Dr. Dylan is the founder of Axis Spine and Sport. He graduated as Valedictorian and Summa Cum Laude from Los Angeles Chiropractic College in 2018. Dr. Dylan knew he wanted to be a Chiropractor after numerous sports injuries that were holding him back from performing at the level he wanted to.
He found a Chiropractor who was able to look deeper than symptoms and find the source of his injuries, opening Dr. Dylan’s eyes to something he always believed, that the human body was too complex to try to isolate and needed to be treated as a dynamic, complex system including body, mind, and spirit.
After finishing at the top of his class in Chiropractic school where he met his wife Pam, he moved back to AZ where they had their first child, Skylar Rose Hernandez. Dr. Dylan enjoys spending his free time working out, playing basketball, reading, being outdoors, and spending time with his family. He is a staunch believer in the old saying, “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life”.
