Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Thomas Keating, who serves patients in Galloway, New Jersey.

Dr. Keating, or “Dr. Tom” as most of his patients refer to him as, is a licensed and board-certified chiropractor with nearly two decades of experience. He offers non-surgical and drug free solutions to a large range of health problems at his private practice, Keating Chiropractic and Wellness, in Galloway, New Jersey.

Actively treating patients of all ages and all walks of life, Dr. Tom is well-versed in treating injuries resulting from car accidents, work injuries, and sports injuries. He utilizes a unique fusion of techniques such as Diversified, Cox Flexion/Distraction, Drop Table, Activator, Y-Strap, Myofascial Release, and Trigger Point Therapy to achieve his goals. 

Born in Atlantic City, Dr. Tom moved to Galloway when he was only 2 years old. Upon graduating from Stockton University in 1999, he continued his education at New York Chiropractic College of Seneca Falls and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2004. 

Shortly thereafter, he earned his license to practice in New York and quickly became the lead chiropractor and administrative director of a thriving multi-disciplinary facility on Long Island. During that time, Dr. Tom successfully treated acute and chronic neck and back pain, disc and nerve conditions, headaches, and various other injuries related to work or automobile injuries. 

In 2012, he decided to move back to his hometown of Galloway with his wife, Andrea, and has been busy serving the Galloway community with chiropractic care ever since. 

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery.

When he is not busy treating his patients, Dr. Tom spends time with his wife and children, a daughter and a son. As an active family, they enjoy bike riding, camping, boating, and going to the beach. 

In his free time, Dr. Tom can be found surfing, fishing, gardening or in his classic car, a 1955 DeSoto Firedome that he restored himself over 30 years ago.
