It is Dr. Gallagher’s passion to provide the highest quality in patient care by using an integrative approach of multiple disciplines – chiropractic, manual therapy, functional rehabilitation, strength training & exercise. It is his goal to develop unique strategies for his patient’s to eliminate pain, enhance performance and elevate wellness.
