What Dr William does.

Dr Donaldson provides chiropractic care focused on:

  • Structural and postural assessment

  • Spinal and joint function

  • Functional musculoskeletal concerns

  • Nervous system coordination

Each consultation is based on a detailed history, physical assessment, and clinical reasoning.

Total Body Modification (TBM)

Dr Donaldson incorporates Total Body Modification (TBM) as part of his broader clinical framework where appropriate.

TBM is a reflex-based assessment system that explores how the body responds to stress and how communication within the nervous system may influence overall function.

This approach uses muscle reflex testing to assess patterns within the body and guide care strategies.
