Doctor of Chiropractic, Founder

Brandon Linatsas, D.C.

Dr. Brandon Linatsas, originally from Marrietta, GA, has been closely connected to the chiropractic field from a young age, inspired by his father, Dr. David Linatsas, a founder of Nashua Family Chiropractic. Growing up in Nashua after moving at the age of one, Dr. Brandon developed a deep-rooted connection with the community. His initial academic pursuit led him to Nashua Community College, where he earned an Associate of Arts degree in Automotive Technology, nurturing his passion for mechanics.

However, Dr. Brandon's true calling lay in the path paved by his father. This realization steered him towards Life Chiropractic College West in the Bay Area of California. During his time there, he was not only a dedicated student but also an active member in various chiropractic organizations, including the Student International Chiropractic Association and Delta Sigma Chi professional chiropractic fraternity, showcasing his commitment to the field. His hard work and dedication were recognized with Clinical Honors upon his graduation in September 2013.

Returning to Nashua in 2015, Dr. Brandon fulfilled his lifelong dream by joining his father at Nashua Family Chiropractic. He has since taken the helm of the family business, evolving it into an integrated practice, while his father enjoys a well-deserved retirement. Outside of his professional life, Dr. Brandon is a family man, sharing his love for the outdoors with his wife and two children. Together, they enjoy skiing, hiking, camping, and soccer, reflecting Dr. Brandon's belief in an active lifestyle for maintaining holistic health.
