Dr. Jeremy Hughes D.C

When Dr. Jeremy Hughes chose to become a chiropractor, it was a decision rooted in personal experience beginning with seeking chiropractic care to recover from a car accident when he was 5 years old. From then on, he frequently turned to chiropractic care for effective healing, whether from childhood skateboard accidents, martial arts injuries to adult car accidents. The thorough evaluations and long-term rehabilitation provided by his chiropractor had a profound impact on his bones, soft tissue, joints and neurological balance. 

 

Naturally, becoming a chiropractor didn’t mean Dr. Hughes would stop seeking chiropractic care. Despite his efforts, he seemed destined to find himself in unfortunate situations, including a severe car accident in his first year of practice that significantly affected his nervous system. He spent weeks in the ICU followed by an extended period of home care. This experience profoundly impacted Dr. Hughes. Without the intervention of a chiropractor and functional neurology, he likely wouldn't have discovered the importance of functional neurology. In essence, Dr. Hughes experienced the immense benefits of chiropractic neurological treatments firsthand and as a result he strives to help others find the care they so desperately need.
