Philosophy
Dr. Hughes has been certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners since 1988 and has been in practice for 17 years. He is a PPO Provider for Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
Dr. Hughes has recently moved to a new location in Springfield. His expanded facilities include: a warm and friendly staff, Disc Rehydration Therapy to help degenerating discs recover, roller massage therapy to loosen tight and tender muscles, posture remodeling equipment to correct slouched shoulders and rounded backs, exercise equipment to strengthen weakened muscles and onsite X-ray facilities.
Chiropractic is the mainstream healthcare choice for people who want to get healthy by correcting their problems instead of just covering up their symptoms.
An independent study from the prestigious RAND Corporation think-tank showed that chiropractic patient satisfaction ranked at an incredible 98%! No other form of health care has ever ranked that high.
Although chiropractic shares much with other health professions, its emphasis and application of philosophy distinguishes it from modern medicine. Chiropractic philosophy gravitates toward a holistic ("total person") approach to healing.
Chiropractic philosophy states that disease is caused by chemical, physical or emotional stress on the body thereby weakening the the body and its immune system. Our goal is to help you move well, eat well and think well. This entails chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilization, exercise, awareness of posture, proper eating, nutritional supplementation and a positive outlook on life.
