Meet Dr. Shaun M Gallagher
Dr. Shaun M Gallagher is a practicing chiropractor in Allentown, PA. Raised in and around the Lehigh Valley, he holds this area very close to his heart, and he is passionate about helping people of all ages reclaim their energy, mobility and vitality!
After deciding to be a chiropractor at 17 while attending Nazareth High School, he started his continuing education at local colleges before ultimately graduating from Life University in 2011 with his Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree. After that, it was straight back to PA to practice as an associate for another chiropractor.
While working hard to clear spines and help the people heal at that office, Dr. Shaun began to develop interest in practicing a low-force, tonal chiropractic technique called "Network." He realized that using his hands to help people in this new way was his passion, and he started Healing Wave Chiropractic in 2014.
In his time outside the practice, Dr. Shaun enjoys going on adventures with his fiancé and Easton chiropractor, Dr. Masae Hori and spending time with his family and pets.

A Chiropractor Focused on the Spine, Nervous System, and Human Healing Potential
Dr. Shaun Gallagher is the founder of Healing Wave Chiropractic and has dedicated his work to helping people optimize health and healing through gentle chiropractic care, NetworkSpinal, Somato Respiratory Integration, and nervous-system-based assessment.
Why Dr. Shaun Chose This Work
Dr. Shaun chose this work because healing, service, and hands-on care were woven into his life from an early age. Growing up in eastern Pennsylvania, he was deeply influenced by family members who shaped both his character and his calling. His father, an artist and maker of exquisite handmade acoustic guitars, showed him what it meant to create something beautiful and meaningful with skilled hands. That left Dr. Shaun with a lasting desire to practice a healing art that he could carry with him anywhere. His stepfather taught him the value of hard work and dependability, while his mother, stepmother, and grandmothers nurtured his compassion, his love for children, and his respect for natural healing. Those influences led him to choose chiropractic while still in high school. After pre-med studies at local colleges, he attended Life University and graduated in 2011 with his chiropractic degree. He then returned north to work alongside his mentor for three years before changing techniques, embracing NetworkSpinal, and building his own practice from the ground up. Since then, Dr. Shaun has remained committed to helping people in the Lehigh Valley and beyond heal more deeply, live more fully, and reconnect with the wisdom of their own bodies.
Advanced Training and Clinical Focus
Dr. Shaun has completed extensive postdoctoral training in NetworkSpinal and has achieved Level 3 certification in NSA, along with passing the NetworkSpinal proficiency examination. His advanced studies reflect a deep commitment to mastering gentle, precise, nervous-system-focused care. In addition to his work in NetworkSpinal, Dr. Shaun has pursued extensive training in pediatric, pregnancy, and perinatal chiropractic care, allowing him to serve individuals and families with a thoughtful, highly specialized, and holistic approach.
What It’s Like to Receive Care From Dr. Shaun
Being under Dr. Shaun’s care is a uniquely personal experience. He brings a rare blend of deep presence, careful listening, clinical insight, and intuitive touch to every visit. People often feel genuinely seen, supported, and at ease in his presence. Dr. Shaun also takes time to share thoughtful guidance so you can better understand your body, care for your nervous system, and move toward a healthier, more connected way of living. His work can feel gentle and subtle at first, yet with consistency many practice members begin to notice meaningful shifts in how they feel, function, and respond to life. Because real healing unfolds over time, he often recommends regular care to help create momentum and support lasting change.
Outside the Office
When not serving practice members at Healing Wave, Dr. Shaun enjoys spending time at home and outdoors with his fiancé, Dr. Masae Hori (fellow NetworkSpinal chiropractor and owner of Bodhi Tree Chiropractic in Easton, PA) and their cats. Dr. Shaun loves to see live music, hike, travel, watch films and cook healthy food.
