The exam, before anything else
Find the cause. Build the right plan
Dr. McDonald is a fully licensed physician, residency trained in Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. Where it hurts and what is causing it are often two different places; the exam is how he finds the difference, before any treatment starts.
If you are anxious or have had bad experiences with manual treatments in the past, you are in great hands.
- Diagnosis by anatomical landmarks
- Motion testing, joint by joint
- Soft tissue exam, muscle and tendon
- A plan tailored to your goals

Treatment, and a plan
Careful manual techniques matched to you, aimed at restoring motion and easing pain, and a plain answer on what he found and what comes next.
