Meet Dr. Victoria Hughes
Dr. Victoria Hughes earned her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Ball State University before completing her Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Palmer College of Chiropractic. She is Webster-certified through the ICPA and holds a certification in dry needling from the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy.
Growing up, going to a chiropractor as an active kid, she still remembers how much better she felt after every visit. That experience is what led her to chiropractic in the first place, and it still shapes how Dr. Hughes treats every patient who walks through the door. She’s especially drawn to dry needling for patients whose soft tissue isn’t responding as well to other approaches, and loves seeing how much relief it can bring when paired with an adjustment.
Life at About Life Chiropractic
Dr. Hughes describes the team at About Life Chiropractic as feeling like family. She and Dr. Carleton lean on each other’s experience and enjoy a good laugh along the way, and that same warmth carries through to how patients are cared for. Dr. Hughes has a particular soft spot for younger patients, and she loves watching kids and their families learn what it means to care for their health together.
For patients who feel unsure or overwhelmed by the healthcare world, she focuses on making them feel heard, guiding them with clear answers, and taking the time to explain what’s going on so they leave feeling confident about their next step.
Outside the Office
Dr. Hughes lives in Fishers with her husband, their two-year-old son, two dogs, and two cats. Her family loves exploring new parks and trying new places without overplanning, letting the day unfold as it comes. After a busy week of caring for patients, she recharges by spending time outdoors with her family and animals.
