Meet Dr. MacKenzie McDonald
From Runner to Healer
Dr. MacKenzie knows firsthand what it’s like when your body won’t cooperate. As a competitive runner at Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she battled injury after injury that kept her off the track. Sidelined from both cross country and track & field, she grew frustrated watching from the sidelines, until chiropractic care changed everything.
After experiencing remarkable results herself, Dr. MacKenzie realized that the body’s structure and alignment are key to proper function and healing. That realization didn’t just get her back to running—it set her on a path to help others do the same.
A Foundation Built on Excellence
Originally from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Dr. MacKenzie earned her bachelor’s degree in biology from Cardinal Stritch University before pursuing her true calling. In June 2023, she graduated with her Doctor of Chiropractic from the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. During her time at Palmer, she was an active member in campus wide clubs and organizations such as pediatrics, Wisconsin, and motion palpation.
Dr. MacKenzie’s dedication to learning, leadership, and community involvement shaped the compassionate, patient-centered approach she brings to every visit.
Passionate About Family Wellness
Since beginning practice, Dr. MacKenzie has discovered her greatest passion: guiding entire families toward optimal physical and mental well-being, from infancy through adulthood.
“I believe the largest impact that can be made is in the pediatric years.”
Dr. MacKenzie practices a range of techniques including Thompson, Gonstead, Activator®, Diversified, and Webster. She’s certified in the Webster Technique by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and holds certification in Chiropractic Pediatrics through the Pediatric Experience. She’s also nationally board certified in physical rehabilitation, ensuring comprehensive care for patients of all ages.
Her holistic outlook focuses on empowering families with knowledge, movement, and consistent care to support lifelong wellness.
Life Beyond the Clinic
When she’s not in the office, Dr. MacKenzie loves spending time in the great outdoors—hiking, cycling, or climbing with family and friends. Other favorite activities include discovering new restaurants and going to concerts.
