Don Williams Profile Picture

Don Williams (Chiropractor) is internationally recognised for his work in rehabilitation and sports injury management. In the late 80 he was an elite junior triathlete. However, his career was cut short when a car ran over him. He was misdiagnosed and poorly managed, As a result he required spinal surgery and rehabilitation. This inspirated Don to develop excellence in the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal disorders.

Internationally recognised for rehabilitation and sports injury management
Don Williams is a highly experienced chiropractor and educator who specialises in diagnosing and treating complex musculoskeletal conditions. His commitment to patient care began with his own story: in the late 1980s, he competed as an elite junior triathlete until a car accident ended his sporting career. Misdiagnosis and poor treatment forced him into spinal surgery and a long rehabilitation. That experience inspired Don to dedicate his career to helping others recover properly and return to full function.
