Internationally Published Author | Chiropractor | Lecturer | Consultant

With over 40 years of experience in Chiropractic care, I am dedicated to enhancing health, resilience, well-being, and longevity through personalized treatment and education. As the founder of Donkin Chiropractic in Lincoln, Nebraska, I focus on helping individuals transition from pain to health and onto wellness. One of my guiding principles is reflected in a quote attributed to DR. Jan Jirout: ‘The highest aim of a specialty is to prevent what it treats.’ That is why I devote much of my efforts to writing books, educating and consulting with public and private sector organizations and individuals.
