Dr. Barry L. Hughes, D.C. specializes in back, neck and extremity pain. Chiropractors are unparalleled in their knowledge of the back and neck. Chiropractic treatment offers you hands-on, effective treatments which can help to relieve your back, neck, and extremity pain. Chiropractic treatments do not include surgery or medications, which means you will be offered alternatives which are non-invasive, hands-on and effective.

Dr. Hughes provides an effective option for the chronic lower back pain sufferer in an environment of goal-oriented support that encourages hope, increases strength, enhances health and improves the patient's overall enjoyment of life.
