Meet Amelia Hughes (nee Laxton)
Chiropractor, Crossgates & Colton Clinics
DC Amelia Hughes (nee Laxton) first encountered chiropractic after receiving successful treatment to manage her long-standing neck pain and headaches/migraine. She went on to complete the four-year degree at AECC in Bournemouth, qualifying in 2019 as a Doctor of Chiropractic with a First-Class honours degree. Amelia works across two of our clinics, Crossgates Chiropractic Clinic and Colton Health Hub.
Chiropractic for Headaches & Migraines
Amelia has a special interest in the treatment and management of patients suffering from chronic headaches and migraines that originate from the neck, upper back and jaw (TMJ) and she thoroughly enjoys the challenge of treating these conditions. She understands the toll these conditions can take on a patient’s life (having previously experienced migraine herself!) and knows the benefits chiropractic care can offer. Her final year research paper during her studies investigated the effects of chiropractic treatment on tension type cervicogenic headache.
Pregnancy, Postpartum and New-born Care
Amelia treats patients of all ages, with a strong belief that chiropractic care really is for us all! From the very young to the very old, she finds this variety is the part of the job she loves the most. Whilst studying she assisted in running a breastfeeding clinic for new mums and their new-borns. This experience allowed Amelia to develop her knowledge on the effects on the musculoskeletal system from pregnancy and birth and the effects of musculoskeletal dysfunction on breastfeeding.
Outside of the Office
In her spare time, Amelia is a keen traveller and enjoys trips away with her husband in their campervan, being somewhere in the wilderness, hiking a trail is their happy place! Amelia also enjoys running and strength training and she realises the importance rehabilitation plays to reduce the risk of injury – this is something she incorporates into the treatment plans she creates for her patients to allow them to manage their own condition!
