Reduce Pain & Restore Movement with Gentle, Proven Chiropractic Care

I spent some time thinking about how to write this review because I wanted it to truly reflect how impressed I am with Boxborough Vitality. It’s rare these days to find a business where every interaction feels genuinely centered on your well-being, but that’s exactly what I found from Dr. Evan to Tina and Stephanie; they have created a culture that makes you feel cared for, supported, and valued. Deciding to work with Dr. Evan has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my health. At 43 years old, as a former athlete and busy father, I had started to accept the aches, stiffness, and daily discomfort that seemed to come with a life well lived. Within just a few weeks of following Dr. Evan’s program, I was waking up without pain, moving more freely, and feeling better than I had in years. I even found myself running up stairs, which was wild, and getting through my day with an energy and ease that I honestly didn’t think was possible anymore. What sets Dr. Evan apart is not just his expertise in his craft, but also his ability to explain the "why" behind everything he does. He takes the time to educate you about your body, helping you understand the root causes of issues rather than simply treating symptoms. His approach is thoughtful, personalized, and remarkably intuitive. Time and time again, he seemed to know exactly what my body needed before I could even articulate it myself. Tina and Stephanie are equally exceptional. They keep everything running smoothly while making every visit feel welcoming and personal. Beyond scheduling and logistics, they play an active role in supporting your progress through posture and strength-building exercises. Just as importantly, they are genuinely kind, down-to-earth people who make you look forward to coming in. Over the years, I’ve worked with highly regarded chiropractors and holistic practitioners on both coasts, and I’ve always been selective about who I trust with my health. I can honestly say I’ve never experienced an approach quite like Dr. Evan’s. It’s comprehensive, intentional, and unlike anything I’ve encountered before. Most importantly, the impact has gone far beyond physical improvement. Feeling good in my body has made me a better father, a more engaged person, and someone who approaches each day with greater confidence and enthusiasm. It has improved my quality of life in ways I never expected and given me excitement about what I can continue to achieve physically in the years ahead. I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Evan, Tina, and Stephanie, for the care they provide. If you're considering making an appointment, my advice is simple: go have a conversation with Dr. Evan and experience it for yourself. It may end up being one of the best decisions you make for your health. Thank you, Boxborough Vitality. You’ve made a lasting difference in my life.

Dr. Hughes and his staff make you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. I have been seeing a chiropractor on and off for years with no real solution or explanation for my pain. After just one visit with Dr. Hughes, he was able to give me answers and a plan moving forward. I finally feel like I’m being listened to and not just getting a quick adjustment.

I had an L5 disc herniation. I literally couldn't do anything throughout the day without being in excruciating pain. I was out of options and scheduled to go in for a second surgery in two weeks. I got referred to Dr. Evan by a friend who had also seen Dr. Evan. She had such great results, she said I should at least try one visit. It was just over an hour drive for me which again excruciating pain just to take the ride there. On my first visit, we were supposed to just have a consult, But he could tell the pain and hell that I was going through. After x-rays, he decided to do a minor adjustment. I could barely lay face down on the table and he couldn't even touch the affected area on my lower back. Whatever he adjusted on that first day made a slight difference so I decided to go back two more times after that. After three visits, it was almost a complete 180. The relief I felt was incredible! Fast forward, Three visits a week for two months straight, I'm back to normal activities and 100% full duty at work as a Lineman! No surgeries necessary! I recommend Dr. Evan to anyone and everyone that I hear complain about neck or back issues!! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

Dr. Hughes is an outstanding chiropractor and an exceptional diagnostician. I’ve been seeing him for almost two years, and I’m continually impressed by his ability to truly read the body and know exactly which adjustment I need each session. Nothing ever feels generic — his care is precise, intentional, and very effective. After a serious accident in March of 2025 that resulted in a burst fracture of my L2 vertebrae and required a spinal fusion, he's been instrumental in getting me back to 100%. His expertise, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to my recovery made all the difference. I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough!

Dr. Hughes and his staff are fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and friendly.

I cannot attest to his abilities, (we never got to that point) but his "bed side" manners were horrible. He was disrespectful in his words and lacked patience.

Highly recommended! After several years of suffering from crippling migraines and neck pain, Within three months, Dr. Evans was able to get me back to living a pain-free life where my migraines are almost nonexistent. His office is very warm and welcoming. The ladies at the front desk always greet me with a smile. He’s extremely flexible (haha) With his scheduling, which is extremely important for my crazy life. Overall, just a wonderful experience in a pleasant atmosphere..

Dr. Evan is thorough, knowledgeable and informative when it comes to treating my back/body pain. I have visited several other chiropractors in the past, which I have nothing bad to say about any of them, but I have received the best results since being treated by Dr. Evan and the techniques he uses. I've noticed big improvements when it comes to performing manual labor, going to the gym or trying to keep up with my two kids. It may not happen overnight for some conditions but my advice would be to trust his plan and schedule for your treatment and follow his recommendations.

I couldn't imagine finding a better chiropractor!! Dr. Hughes and the staff are incredible people, warm and welcoming the moment you step through the door! I walk in looking crumpled and walk out feeling like a million bucks!! That's exactly how I felt today!

Dr. Evan is thorough and incredibly knowledgeable. I have been to many chiropractors and he is, by far, the best. I am able to FINALLY sleep soundly and wake up without neck and back pain. My digestive system is back to normal and I’m able to stand tall without the lower back I’ve been living with for years. I can not recommend Dr. Evan highly enough.

I was given Dr. Evan’s name by my previous chiropractor when I moved further away from her location, and I was lucky she did. Dr. Evan is a very thorough provider with a vibrant personality who makes appointments fun to attend. He takes the time to explain all that is happening with my spine and his approach to strengthening the whole body has really made a difference in improving my mobility. He also works with my 12 yr old, and Dr. Evan has a great way of talking to and connecting with kids. My kiddo and I always look forward to our adjustments and will continue with Dr. Evan as our provider for the foreseeable future.

I drive over 1 hour each way to get adjusted by Dr Evan Hughes. Super through exams that I wasn't getting from other offices in Southern NH. Im walking taller and feeling much better after Dr Hughes adjustments

Dr. Evan is an excellent chiropractor. I am in healthcare for about 35 years, working in different areas. I know that being a good chiropractor needs vast expertise and experience. Dr. Evan has this expertise. He changed my body posture from an old woman to a young woman. I have more energy and strength. I appreciate him a lot and highly recommend him.

I’ve been going there for a while and the staff and the doctor are great and they have helped my back in feet issues dramatically. I am so happy I found them and I will be a loyal patient forever., thank you so much!!

I had been suffering with accumulating lower back, right leg, and neck pain for 28 years since my twin pregnancy. I had gone to so many doctors to include my primary care physician, physical therapists, other chiropractors, foot doctors, spine doctors, orthopedics, massage therapists, and acupuncturists to name a few, with no improvements. Instead, I had been prescribed years of pain meds, anxiety meds, depression meds and shots because of the physical pain I was in. My insurance companies and I have paid so many medical bills with no renief. After going through Dr. Evan Hughes's 3 month program, for the first time in 28 years, I am making so much progress. There is light at the end of the tunnel. My body has made space to heal. Things are moving back into the places they belong. Scar tissue is disappearing. Inflammation is decreasing. Following Dr. Evans’s plan, I have built up the small muscles required for my posture and balance to improve. I am sleeping better. I no longer have daily reflux. My pain is minimal. No more Meds!!!! I am amazed with how much better my body feels in 3 months.

Make sure your insurance covers. Couldnt have stressed it enough that i really couldnt afford to pay out of pocket and after he assured me that it would be all figured out, it wasn't. He made it sound like I would be all set but didn't even check if his service was covered by my insurance. Knowing what i know now, businesses usually check with the insurance first before starting anything. This guy never checked, charged me up front and waited until the end of it all to then leave it up to myself. I got no help at all and ended up paying in full out of pocket. He said if I had any questions to ask the girl at the front desk. After trying myself and not knowing what to do at all I tried to ask her and she told me it wasn't her that dealt with that and it was the other lady that worked the front desk. Problem is out of all the times I went there over the course of 3 months I only saw this one girl no other girl. Pretty much just got the run around from them. He totally took advantage of me and didn't even fix my problem. Im still in pain to this day. His only suggestion was to come back in and spend more money.

I came to Boxborough Vitality through a recommendation of another patient. I had years of back pain built up and I was struggling to stay active. I had been to other Chiropractors with no success. Within two weeks of seeing Evan Hughes, I felt like a new person and after two months I am running again. I have been seeing him regularly for 2 years now. Everyone on his team is fabulous and is focused on your success. I am so thankful for his care.

I couldn't work or do my workouts because I felt a lot of pain, but after three months I can do everything again. Thank you Dr Evan and team you are the best!

I was referred by a friend to Boxborough Vitality. Because my arm would go numb when riding my motorcycle for 15-20 minutes. I was a little skeptical at first but within a couple of weeks. I knew I was in good hands. They set me up with a plan and after a few months, I feel great and have learned a lot about my body, and I am on a great road to success. I can ride my motorcycle for hours now without getting numb. and I look forward to the future of riding without getting numb at all.

I have been going to Dr. Evan for a few years now to treat a myriad of injuries sustained over prolonged periods of my life from sports, computer work, and poor posture / stress. After seeing Dr. Evan, my migraines have alleviated, my lumbar back pain is entirely gone, and my joints feel stronger and more fluid. I can't recommend him enough. He and his staff are fantastic, and he is incredibly in tune with sensing where blocks and stiffness are in the body. He is incredibly talented and skilled at what he does.

Boxborough Vitality has simply made a tremendous impact upon my life, physical health and well-being. It almost feels as though the wear and tear that life had put on my body is reversed (and it’s the closest thing to it!) I was also able to lose 49 pounds, weight that my body simply was unable to shed until I started working with Dr. Evan Hughes and his absolutely wonderful team. This outcome and education on how the body works were beyond anything I have ever received from my PCP or doctors office, and if I could go back in time, I absolutely would’ve gone so long ago. I now feel so much more empowered to handle and care for my body, physically while going through life. This release of my physical tensions has done wondrous things for my mental health. I am all the more excited now that one of my family members has also decided to become a client of theirs, and I can’t wait to vicariously re-experience the what I got to go through.1000% recommend these guys!!!

When I first started going to see Dr Hughes I could barely walk on the treadmill at the gym because my right toe and right knee hurt so badly (And I have a high pain tolerance) I couldn't sleep, when I lifted weights I felt like my shoulders were going to rip off and I could not sit up straight because my posture was so off. I saw a Facebook video of Boxborough Vitality and I thought if I feel this way at 43 how will I feel at 53, 63 and down the line so I reached out. Within a few hours I had a consultation set up and off I went to meet the team. When I arrived I there was a sign set up that said "Welcome Jeff!" I was instantly at ease. Doctor Hughes listened to me, took notes and asked me a simple "What do you want to be able to do again" I answered I want to be able to run again. I have been to a couple of Chiropractors before and none of them ever asked that question...I liked it because I am goal oriented and now I had something to strive for. X-rays were taken that day and then I went back the following day to get the results...as expected I was all crooked and my vertebrae's were a mess. Doctor Hughes slowly and patiently explained what was going on and then told me with confidence how he was going to correct it. He then asked me do you want a quick tuneup or do you want to go all in and correct all the issues? (contrary to some tv shows I have seen / articles I have read, long term neglect does not get solved in one visit) I went all in and I am glad I did. Every one of my visits starts with a greeting from Tina and then being assigned a room. Once you are laying on the table Dr Hughes comes in and starts his work. He will give simple instructions on how he wants your body positioned and then he starts the correction. That is the best part...Dr Hughes knows what adjustment he is looking for and sometimes your body won't give it up so but he knows what needs to be done and will try different techniques and when he finally gets your body to adjust he will give out a celebratory phrase like "There it is! or I got it" It shows he is passionate about what he does as well as thorough. The adjustments / techniques will change from visit to visit (he knows a lot of techniques and will use the best one for your situation) Then comes the hard part (for me) you go across the hallway and Tina gives you an exercise or a task to get your body stronger, looser and teach it how to respond to the adjustment you just had. I would ask her each morning how she was going to embarrass me today (joking of course) but she is always patient, non judgmental but insistent that you get the task correct to help your body. With all the adjustment and exercise the whole visit only takes about 10-15 minutes so getting to work on time is was not an issue and they have a good range of hours Fast forward to today...I am in phase 3 of my journey and I can say I feel better than I have in a long time. I can not only walk on the treadmill pain free I am now running for distance, walking at 12 inclines and I can lift weight at the gym like I haven't in 10-12 years. I stand straight and most of my pains are gone. Its hard for me to remember how I couldn't even walk a quarter of a mile due to pain. The Doctor and the staff will get you know you, they send you thank you's in the mail, they will give you equipment to bring home so you can keep progressing. I am not one to write a lot of really any reviews but this experience has been a very good one for me so and I hope that if someone is on the fence about going to Boxborough Vitality it gives them the push to go and at least meet with Doctor Hughes for a consultation. My novel is concluded....I look forward to my next adjustment Monday morning!

Couldn’t be happier with my experience at Boxboro Vitality. I felt major results based on my commitment of visits. Every time I visited the office my appointment was very prompt and pleasant. I’ve met several chiropractors and Dr Evan is certainly one of the best.

De Hughes is great! Went to see him at 39 weeks pregnant to help engage baby and within one appt he was able to help engage baby in right position!
