About Dr. Patrick Walsh, DC - Owner & Chiropractor in Hagerstown

Dr. Pat's Story

Hey — I’m Dr. Pat Walsh, chiropractor and owner here at Walsh Wellness Center in Hagerstown.

I wasn’t always in this line of work. I grew up in the northern panhandle of West Virginia, moved around quite a bit—Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota—and eventually landed here in Maryland. Since 2015, I’ve been proud to call the Hagerstown area home. And since 2018, it’s where I’ve been helping folks move, feel, and live better.

Now, I didn’t become a chiropractor overnight. My journey started in locker rooms and training fields—sports were a big part of my life. But like a lot of athletes, I racked up my fair share of injuries. Between high school, college, and later on a nasty car accident, I found myself on the patient side of a chiropractor’s table. What happened next changed everything: I got better. And I knew this was the path I had to follow.

After spending over a decade in the corporate world, I made the leap. I earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic and a degree in Human Biology from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN. Since then, I’ve passed all four parts of the NBCE board exams, picked up a certification in physiotherapy, and became a fully licensed chiropractor here in Maryland.

But none of that matters as much as this: I know what it’s like to hurt. I know what it’s like to want your life back. That’s what drives me to do what I do—not just the science, but the story behind every patient who walks in our door.

How Pain From an Auto Accident Led Me to Become a Chiropractor in Hagerstown

All right—hi! I'm Dr. Pat Walsh, a chiropractor here in North Hagerstown, Maryland. I treat subluxations in my patients, and I'm also PT-qualified in the state of Maryland, which means I provide physical therapy and soft tissue treatments alongside chiropractic care. How I got started is kind of interesting. I was originally a patient. I saw a chiropractor in Dunbar, West Virginia—Dr. Russell Jones—shoutout to him. I was under his care after an automobile accident, and because I was there quite a bit, I learned a lot about chiropractic. That experience had a big impact on me, and around 1997 or 1998, I made the decision that I wanted to become a chiropractor myself. I started chiropractic school in 2009, and almost four years later, I graduated with my doctorate in chiropractic. I've been practicing ever since. Over the years, I worked in a number of clinics as an associate. Then, in January of 2020, I finally opened my own practice. I found this current location and officially opened Walsh Wellness Center on March 16, 2020. That was just four days before everything shut down due to COVID. It was a strange time to start a business—marketing was nearly impossible—but thankfully, chiropractic was considered essential, so I stayed open. Despite the challenges, I’ve grown every year thanks to my amazing patients, their satisfaction, and the power of word-of-mouth. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to do what I love every day. I've now been in this location for nearly five years, and I just want to say thank you—to all of my patients and to the Hagerstown community—for your ongoing support.

Why Choose Walsh Wellness Center?

Let’s be real—there’s no shortage of chiropractors out there. But if you’re looking for someone who listens, who explains what’s going on in plain English, and who treats you like a neighbor instead of a number… well, welcome.

Here at Walsh Wellness Center, we don’t chase gimmicks. We do the basics really well—adjustments, soft tissue work, rehab—and we tailor every plan to you. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from a sports injury, pregnant and feeling all the pressure in your low back, or your kid’s having trouble sleeping from tension—we’ve got you covered.

Hi, I'm Dr. Patrick Walsh, founder of Walsh Wellness Center here in Hagerstown, Maryland. At our clinic, we believe in the simple truth: what gets you better can keep you better. That's why we go far beyond just cracking backs or chasing symptoms. We actually help patients from newborns to athletes understand what's really going on in their bodies and guide them toward lasting, natural wellness. Let's be honest, most people who come to us are tired of the same cycle. Chronic pain that keeps coming back. Quick fixes that never last. Being told everything looks fine when they know something isn't right. Worse yet, they've seen chiropractors before—maybe even gotten some relief—but never understood why they felt off or how to prevent the problems from coming back. Does that sound familiar? That's exactly why I started Walsh Wellness Center. We don't just adjust the spine. We look at how the nervous system is functioning, how your muscles and soft tissues are working together, and what real-life stressors are doing to your health. Using a blend of structural chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue therapy, and real-world education, we help you connect the dots. Because when you understand your body, you're empowered to heal it. Here's what that means for you: relief that lasts, not just in your spine but your entire body. Personalized care plans for every age and stage of life. Clear, science-backed explanations to make sense. A warm, friendly office where you feel heard, not rushed. Empowered to take control of your health—naturally. Whether you're dealing with migraines, postpartum pain, chronic tension, or you're just wanting to feel better in your own body, we're here to help. If you wanted to book a, uh, free consult, go ahead and give us a call at 240-347-4360 or hit the link below and go fill out that form.
