Brad Gage
Chiropractor
Dr. Gage is Western Canada's only Advanced-Certified doctor in the "Chiropractic BioPhysics" (CBP) technique, an evidence-based spinal rehab system. CBP treatment includes condition and posturally specific exercise, adjustments, and multi-direction traction therapy. The CBP method can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions including abnormal posture, spinal deformities such as scoliosis and kyphosis, as well as pain.
He also utilizes Spinal Decompression Therapy for the treatment of disc problems and to reduce symptoms that radiate into the arms or legs.
All of the patients at the BetterBack clinic are encouraged to learn home-care exercises that help people "Get Better, Faster"!
Dr. Gage has experience in and utilizes other adjusting techniques to complement the more structurally-based CBP Technique to best match your individual needs, preferences, and goals, including several different low-force instrument-based techniques.
Dr. Gage's non-work interests include riding his motorcycle, fitness and exercise, woodworking, and a variety of outdoor activities such as camping, kayaking, hiking, and sport shooting. He is also an avid audio-video enthusiast! He has been married to his lovely wife Debbie for over 29 years and is the proud father of three active healthy young men.
Jerry Lam
Chiropractor
"To inspire, educate and help people for better health so that they can have a chance to live a more fulfilled life. I believe in addressing both functional and structural dysfunction of the spine and body, we get better results beyond pain relief, but also improved function, strength, and overall health and well-being."
Because of that, Jerry received post-graduate education in Chiropractic Biophysics and Scoliosis Management including Scoliosis specific physiotherapeutic exercises (PSSE)- ScoliBalance by ScoliCare.
Jerry is competent in utilizing both manual and instrumental adjustment, extremity adjusting, shockwave therapy, orthotics design and fitting, leg length inequality/uneven hip assessment, neck and lower back decompression therapy, multi-directional traction therapy, postural rehab/exercises, and X-ray diagnostics.
Jerry’s recreational interests include Judo since he was 6 years old. He was selected to train with the Hong Kong Judo Team when he was 16, and in 2015 he achieved his black belt 1st Dan and started his coaching career at the South China Athletic Association in Hong Kong. He currently is an active member in the judo club with University of Victoria. His hard work ethic, experience in coaching, and understanding in sports has now translated to provide excellent care to his new community in Victoria.

Bradley Kennedy
Chiropractor
Dr. Bradley's approach to care with patients and families is highly individualized since every person has unique strengths, beliefs, and preferences. He collaborates with a network of integrative health providers.
Taking an integrated, holistic approach to health care, believing that you need to be treated as a whole person. Not just a symptom or part. Using a variety of hands-on techniques, stretches, and exercises to help you improve your function and feel better.
I just wish I had known then what I know now. I experienced a decade of unnecessary chronic pain, from an injury that happened slowly over time, doing my favorite activity: competitive swimming.
This ultimately guided my first career as a Registered Massage Therapist. While working in a NUCCA chiropractic clinic, one of the doctors offered to assess my chronic shoulder injury. At first, I was skeptical, but when he explained the mechanics of this technique, it made perfect sense. I had regular NUCCA adjustments, and within 6 weeks, I was pain-free. Moreover, I was so inspired and convinced from this personal experience, that I decided to pursue NUCCA chiropractic as my career. Being a curious and stubborn individual I haven't stopped learning and continue to add new techniques and experiences to my practice
