Hudson Doctor Heads to Guatemala to Spread Chiropractic Care to the Underprivileged

Hudson, NH- We all have that one thing that we wish we could do ‘if only’ the circumstances were right, if only we had enough money, if only we weren’t so scared we’d fail; maybe it's starting a business or going back to finish your college degree.  For one Hudson chiropractor all the ‘if onlys’ are officially off the table and the one thing he’s always wanted to do is finally becoming a reality.

 

From October 15th - 23rd Dr. Ryan Barclay of Barclay Chiropractic will be one of 11 chiropractors serving on a mission trip to Guatemala City, Guatemala extending patient care to several poor areas of the city.  This is a trip of a lifetime for Dr. Barclay and he couldn’t be more excited.

“I saw many of my fellow colleagues pursue chiropractic mission trips right out of school.  At that time I didn’t have the means to go and decided to focus on patient care in my hometown of Hudson.   Now, I have the time and means to go abroad and didn’t want to put this opportunity off any longer,” Barclay said.

This mission team of chiropractors has been travelling to Guatemala City for over ten years and the community anticipates their arrival every year with lines of people waiting to receive care.  Dr. Barclay will be specifically working in the San Juan Sacatepéquez Village, Railroad Track City, downtown Guatemala City, as well as many churches and schools.

 

“Serving the people of Guatemala City and educating them on the benefits of chiropractic care is the main focus of this trip however I’m hoping to bring back a greater appreciation of the opportunities we have in the United States.”
