About Dr. Hughes
Todd Hughes grew up in Elmhurst, a suburb of Chicago. His uncle was a chiropractor and that prompted him to research chiropractic to find out what they do. He was intrigued by the simple premise that God made the body to be healthy. If the body wasn't healthy, that meant something was interfering with the body's ability to heal itself. The chiropractor didn't try to overpower a person's problem with drugs like traditional Western medicine. Instead, chiropractic works on restoring the natural healing mechanisms of the body by eliminating interference in the body's communication system-- the nervous system.
Dr. Hughes received his undergraduate B.A. from Iowa State University. He went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic, the oldest and most prestigious chiropractic college. He received both a B.S. in Science and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. While at Palmer, Dr. Hughes pursued extra-curricular studies in the Gonstead Technique, Activator Methods, and advanced studies in radiographic interpretation.
Striving to give the most up-to-date care possible, Dr. Hughes continues to pursue his education with ongoing post-graduate studies in Neurology, Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP), Whiplash, Trauma, Radiology, new chiropractic treatment methods, and current clinical research.
He began his private practice in Schaumburg, Illinois in 1989. He and his wife, Peggy, moved with their two sons to Springfield in 1993 to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Springfield has been a wonderful city to practice and raise children.
Dr. Hughes specializes in correcting poor posture which he believes causes most health problems. “Not only does poor posture make us look bad, it is responsible for our body wearing out sooner than it should. However, with a little work, there is a lot we can do to improve your posture. That way you can look as good as you feel!”
