The patients range in age from newborn to 95+ years old. Dr. Callaghan sees patients who present with sudden onset of pain to those that have chronic or long-term pain.
Volunteering is very important to Dr. Callaghan and she does a great deal of outreach in the community. Although she enjoys supporting many different charities, she devotes most of her charitable time with CASA. and currently holds a position on the board. CASA stands for court appointed special advocate and these advocates work with the foster child and they strive to deliver the best possible outcome for the child.
In addition to her work with CASA Dr. Callaghan delivers lectures in the community. She has addressed multiple police departments including at the Anthony Canale Police Training center and the Atlantic City Fire Department. She has also enjoyed speaking with several schools and the teachers on health-related topics. Many senior centers have also enjoyed having Dr. Callaghan as a keynote speaker.
Her practice, Atlantic County Family Spine has offices in Galloway, Egg Harbor Township, Atlantic City and Hammonton. Dr. Karen Callaghan and her team are experienced in treating those suffering from injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents as well as sports-related, workplace, and in-home accidents. She and her team enjoy providing maintenance care to those patients dedicated to maintaining their health and mobility through regular chiropractic checkups. Her greatest joy in practice is the fact that she is now treating the children of patients who were originally children themselves when they first were adjusted by her and Dr. Holvick.
