Dr. Hughes is a 1995 graduate of Life College in Marietta and studied at Florida State University for her undergraduate degree. Her interest in natural pain management started when she was young, coming from a family of chiropractors, it sparked her interest in natural relief of chronic pain at a very young age.

What really separates her from many of her peers is her philosophy of combining several different types of physical medicine under one roof all in the effort to benefit patients and help treat their pain faster and more effectively. She believes that not only is there a need for chiropractic to move the bone but also the need for Physical therapy/Athletic training to stretch and strengthen the appropriate muscles, ligaments, and tendons supporting the bones and structure (curves of the spine) in order to completely alleviate the symptoms and the problem. The last piece of the puzzle is combining traditional forms of medical pain management and medical diagnosis to help speed the recovery time and more effectively diagnose conditions that need referrals.
