Dr. Michael Ramar is a Rochester, Michigan native and the founder of Ramar Chiropractic & Rehab, where he specializes in sports chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, and performance based treatment.

Dr. Ramar is passionate about helping patients understand the connection between functional movement, physical performance, and long term pain relief. His approach focuses on identifying root causes, restoring proper movement, and building resilience whether a patient is recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or working to improve athletic performance.

 

Rather than simply treating symptoms, Dr. Ramar works to restore function and elevate performance beyond pre injury levels. Each treatment plan is progressive and individualized, with every visit building on prior improvements to ensure measurable and lasting results. His clinical focus has made him a trusted provider for athletes, active individuals, and patients seeking modern chiropractic and rehabilitation care in Shelby Township and throughout Macomb County.

Dogtor Reggie

Dogtor Reggie

Dogtor Reggie is one of the most beloved and highly decorated “providers” at Ramar Chiropractic & Rehab. When he’s not greeting patients at the door or offering a calming presence during visits, he’s usually on the lookout for scratches, belly rubs, or a willing partner for a game of fetch.

 

Reggie is a goldendoodle, a hypoallergenic breed that rarely causes allergic reactions, making him a great fit for a healthcare environment. He is a Level 1 therapy dog and has completed advanced training in dog assessment standards, environmental cue recognition, and stress prevention techniques. His calm demeanor and friendly personality help create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere throughout the clinic.

 

Outside of patient care, Reggie takes his role as morale booster very seriously and is always happy to brighten someone’s day.
