Brandon Ramakko spent most of his adult life teaching college-level physics in Montreal, Canada, but when his own health and the health of his loved ones declined due to indifferent and unsatisfactory healthcare in Canada he took it upon himself to start his own healthcare education. He tries to share this knowledge as much as possible while also listening to the patient's problems and goals as fully as possible. He is not satisfied with people’s health being “good enough”, and strives to get patients feeling their best and optimizing their quality of life. He was trained in Portland, Oregon, and practiced in Austin, Texas, prior to coming to the Island. While happy to work with a variety of conditions, he has particular interest in chronic pain and the perinatal (pregnant) population. The former can benefit from a patient approach with effective communication and the latter group deserves all the support they can get. In terms of treatments he is an advocate of soft tissue work and rehab exercises in addition to joint mobilizations. He used to participate in acrobatics/gymnastics which has contributed to a broad repertoire of stretches and exercises beyond his chiropractic training. He tries to find forms of active care or lifestyle modifications to keep patients feeling their best between visits. He is well versed in gentle non“Cracking” joint mobilizations which may be useful for those who are apprehensive about traditional chiropractic adjustments or who haven’t responded well to them in the past. He recently achieved diplomate status with the international academy of neuromusculoskeletal medicine setting him apart as a specialist in diagnosis and management.
