Dr. Phillip Shaw, D.C.

Dr. Phillip Shaw grew up going to the chiropractor with his mother frequently. Then when he was in middle school, he threw his back out running track. Being familiar with chiropractic, he knew exactly where to turn to. After even one adjustment he was feeling great relief and that’s when he truly realized the power of the chiropractic.

Later in life, while serving a volunteer mission for his church in Japan, he came to see just how much chiropractic meant to him. Needing a chiropractor, he struggled to find one in his vicinity. He was fortunate enough to find a traditional Japanese bone-setter and was able to finish out his time in Japan with the aid of their skilled hands.

Upon returning to the states he decided that he wanted to make chiropractic available to all those around him. He entered Chiropractic school at National University of Health Sciences in 2005 and was amazed at how much science went into the practice. Upon graduation in ‘08 he
found a position as an associate in Mount Prospect, IL. Shortly after that he had the opportunity to take over a family practice in the Buffalo Grove area and continued to serve people from all walks of life for 16 years.

He’s excited to bring his experience and skill now to the people of Algonquin and hopes to share the power of chiropractic with everyone that enters his practice doors.

Dr. Phil is blessed with six children and loves to spend time outdoors and cooking for his family.
He also likes to share his love of music and languages with those around him. Don’t be surprised if you find him singing karaoke at the adjusting tables!
