Chiropractor

Paul McAllister D.C.

Dr. Paul McAllister, a Muskegon native, earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and graduated as Valedictorian from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2014. After eight years as an associate chiropractor, he started Kentwood Family Chiropractic.

His interest in chiropractic grew from witnessing its positive impact on his family’s health. Initially planning to become a medical doctor, he shifted to wanting to become a chiropractor due to its holistic approach – focusing on addressing causes rather than symptoms, and avoiding aggressive medical interventions. Ensuring that patients not only receive superior and thorough care, but also understand why their care is effective and how it can improve their quality of life, is a passion of Dr. McAllister.

Dr. McAllister lives in Kentwood and enjoys running, cycling, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

Whitney Phillips

Whitney Phillips is a licensed massage therapist and Certified Personal Trainer specializing in sports massage, recovery, and performance care. She brings a unique combination of clinical skill and athletic understanding to her work, helping patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and return to the activities they love.

As an ultramarathon runner herself, Whitney deeply understands the physical demands placed on active bodies and uses that insight to support both recreational and competitive athletes.

Her treatments blend deep-tissue techniques, targeted muscle work, and mobility-focused approaches to address chronic tension, overuse patterns, and movement restrictions. Whitney tailors each session to the patient’s specific goals—whether that’s easing pain, enhancing performance, improving posture, or accelerating recovery from training.

Her grounded, calming presence is shaped by her volunteer work in hospice care, where she provides therapeutic touch and emotional support to residents. Whitney is also expanding her expertise through advanced study in wellness coaching and sports nutrition to further integrate bodywork and whole-body health.

At Kentwood Family Chiropractic, Whitney is dedicated to helping every patient move better, feel better, and thrive in their active lives.
