meet the Doctors
Clinical Director Dr. Shawn Martin moved to Louisville in 2008 after a request to oversee the patients currently under care at Louisville Chiropractic. Dr. Martin had previously graduated from the world-renowned Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. After a brief stint in Lexington, with a group practice, he moved his wife and daughter to Eastern Louisville and soon became one of the most sought-after Louisville Chiropractors. Dr. Jack Gallagher, also a Palmer graduate and athlete, joined our team in 2022 as our primary treating physician.

Treating Chiropractor
Jack Gallagher D.C.
Dr. Jack was born and raised on a cherry farm in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan, where he spent the majority of his time enjoying the outdoors, and playing sports. His first chiropractic experience came after injuring his back while lifting weights. His curiosity with the profession began immediately after having his pain relieved after a single treatment.
Read More
He went on to attend Grand Valley State University, where he originally studied business and then switched to the health sciences after chiropractic treatment helped him resolve a major shoulder injury. Following his undergrad education, he attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. During his time at Palmer, Dr. Jack earned an athletic scholarship for the rugby team and became an intern in the sports rehabilitation clinic.
In his free time, Dr. Jack enjoys working out, reading, and being active outdoors. He is passionate about human performance and is constantly learning the newest and most innovative ways to keep his patients pain-free.
