Dr. Paul Shirk

Chiropractor Dripping Springs Office

Dr. Paul Shirk became a chiropractor to help people move better, live better, and feel more at home in their bodies. He started his career supporting special needs students and saw firsthand how the right kind of care could help people build strength, independence, and purpose. That same belief drives his work today.

With over five years of experience, Dr. Shirk has served in roles including clinic director, consultant, and hands-on provider in personal injury, family wellness, and physical medicine. He focuses on helping patients build real-world resilience—whether they’re dealing with sciatica, disc issues, shoulder pain, or chronic postural strain. His approach blends hands-on care, practical education, and long-term wellness planning, supported by training in nutrition and behavioral health.

Originally from Central Texas, Dr. Shirk went to middle school in Dripping Springs and once (optimistically) tried to raft from Hamilton Pool to Barton Springs. He’s glad to be back and hopes to offer a calm, organized, and down-to-earth approach to holistic care—something both effective and accessible for everyday people.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Shirk enjoys running the greenbelt trails, playing guitar, learning Spanish, and occasionally fixing up old bikes. He’s usually joined by his dog, Hilda—a social pup who loves to swim and take it easy afterward
