Chiropractic is a natural form of health care that uses spinal adjustments to correct misalignments of joints and restore proper function to the nervous system, helping your body to heal naturally. Chiropractic is based on the relationship between the body's structure, primarily the spine, and its function, coordinated by the nervous system, as it affects the patient's health.
Dr. Nguyen was born in Vietnam where he graduated as a medical doctor and licensed in Oriental Medicine. He received his diploma in Acupuncture in Paris, France in 1989, his masters degree in Oritnetal Medicine in California in 1993, and he also received his Diplomate in Acupuncture of the NCCA.

Extremely Poor client relations. Still have prepaid services on there books that I haven't been able to get an appointment for. Book in advance there are no follow-up confirmation/ reminders nothing. My body feels worse than when I started services there. I wasn't going to write a review. Unfortunately I am in constant pain in areas I didn't have pain before. When I try to explain to Dr. Gallagher he walks off. You have no idea how much I regret investing my money at this practice. I should have read the reviews first. I read them after I was getting worse. This is the absolute worst chiropractic

I have been going to Dr. Gallagher for more than 10 years. I have tried other chiropractors that seem like the goal is 3-5 sessions to get me feeling better. And many times I felt worse after a my initial session. With Dr. Gallagher I always leave with some relief and complete relief usually takes only 1-2 sessions. I surf and snowboard, after falls or just the pain from the rigors of sport, his services can get me back to the activities I enjoy. My wife has also had similar results. His office staff is kind and the cost for his therapy is very reasonable. Our family highly recommends Dr. Gallagher

A complete scam.
Not only did the services do absolutely nothing to calm my symptoms, but Dr Ghallager really rushes the process.
If you have questions, he has brief answers that are so vague that you could likely find better advice for free on the internet.
I also got an Xray taken for roughly $180, and I was never able to see the Xrays. Likely because there was nothing to see in them, and if there was (herniated disc in neck), I never was informed.
When you come in, it feels like he is more eager to crack your neck and move on to the next patient, than to actually address and correct your

I have been a patient at Gallagher Chiropractic and Sports Medicine for more than 15 years seeking treatment for a lower-back injury. As aging ailments progressed, I added acupuncture and massage treatments to my visits. All treatments provided to me by Dr. Gallagher, Dr. Calahan and Dr. Nguyen have led to increased functioning and less pain in my daily life. I highly recommend the services provided by the doctors at Gallagher Chiropractic and Sports Medicine.
