Healthcare News - Fairfield County

After helping hundreds of Westchester County herniated disc sufferers eliminated their pain, Local Doctor explains how…

“Back Pain Technology Cheats Mother Nature Helps Herniated Discs Heal Naturally… In As Little As 25 Minutes!”

At Last! Westchester County Doctor Offers Technology That Doesn’t Just End SEVERE Pain From Herniated Discs, But Helps Your Body To Start Rebuilding Them… As Fast As Humanly Possible!

Best Part: You can check it all out for FREE if you like!

There is no doubt… technology has made all of our lives better… and easier.

Just about every miraculous medical cure and comfort of modern living can be attributed to amazing breakthroughs in technology.

Heck, laser eye surgery can give people who are almost as blind as a bat perfect 20/20 vision. How amazing is that?

That’s why it’s no surprise that technology might be able to solve your back and neck pain from herniated/bulging discs or sciatica…for good.

Here is why: Back and neck pain can be devastating. And nothing is worse than going to doctor after doctor… trying treatment after treatment… spending money you can’t afford… and still suffering in pain. That’s why…

I bet you would love to instantly end your pain… without any risk what-soever… and have it never come back for the rest of your life?

Well, that might NOT be so easy. But, what if there was a wonderful advancement in technology that, with a handful of simple, non-invasive treatments, could possibly have you out of pain and on your way to healing naturally?

Better yet, what if this technology could possibly heal your herniated/bulging discs (instead of cutting it out like surgery) so you have the best chance to live pain-free and do all the things you want and love to do?

And what if this technology was: 3 FDA cleared!

3 Proven safe and effective!

3 Allows your herniated discs to heal naturally without the risky and dangerous side effects of surgery!

3 Relieves pain fast… in some cases in as little as 25 minutes!

Well, guess what? There is such technology and there is a very good chance it can help you… like it has already helps thousands of herniated/bulging disc and sciatica sufferers all around the country…

No Matter How Bad Your Pain Is, How Long You’ve Been Suffering Or How Many Other Treatments And Doctors Have Failed You! Don’t laugh. It’s really true. Here’s proof…

When you have a herniated disc, compressive forces cause your spinal bones to come together… basically squashing your disc. The space in between your bones decreases and the soft, jello-like disc material leaks out.

This disc material that leaks out is called a herniated disc and can cause severe pain, numbness and tingling in your neck, back, arms or legs when the herniation pushes into and “pinches” a nerve.

So it makes sense, if you could slightly pull the spinal bones apart… that would open up the space, take the pressure off the disc, the disc off the nerve and solve the problem.

Right? But the only problem is… how do you do that? For years and years, doctors have been trying to do it with traction.

But traction has been proven ineffective and often very painful. Why? Traction doesn’t work because when you have a herniated or bulging disc, the area is injured and when you try to move, your muscles go into spasm. Spasm is your body’s way of trying to protect you from causing further injury. That’s why traction hurts so much.

As soon as the traction starts… your muscles overprotect the area and spasm.

But the good news is: Now there is technology that out-smarts your body’s natural spasm reaction. In other words: It fools mother nature!

This technology is called non-surgical spinal decompression (NSSD) and here’s how it works…

NSSD is very different from plain traction because it has advanced computer technology that actually senses your spinal muscles. When it starts to gently pull, it immediately knows when your muscles start to contract and it stops pulling. As soon as your muscles relax, it starts pulling again.

The amazing thing is: the computer senses your muscles contraction so early… you don’t even feel what is going on. Which means you never feel any pain!

In fact, the only thing most patients feel is… RELIEF!!!

But the best part is: NSSD is able to gently separate your spinal bones which, in many cases, actually sucks the herniated disc material back into the disc where it belongs! This takes away your pain and allows your herniated and bulging discs to heal naturally!

And check this out: Treatments are pleasant and simple. All you have to do is lie on your back, listen to your favorite music, read a magazine… or… take a nap!

The wonderful technology does everything while you simply RELAX the pain away!

To sum up NSSD: • For most patients it is 100% painless… in fact many patients actually fall asleep during treatment!

• Works fast! Most patients get relief after a handful of treatments – some after the very first!

• Is non-invasive so it does not have the dangerous risks of surgery!

• Gets to the root cause of the problem and helps it heal naturally!

Isn’t modern technology wonderful?

And wouldn’t you like to…

Give This Great Technology A Try… For Free?

If you would, there’s great news. There is a Doctor located at 222 Westchester Ave. Suite 405 in White Plains who has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in this wonderful technology and has been treating herniated/bulging disc and sciatica patients with incredible success.

His name is Dr. Jonathan Donath DC, MS and he is so excited about the results he’s been getting, he would like to share it with as many pain sufferers as possible.

But There Is A Catch…

There’s always a catch... isn’t there?

Even though this technology has helped a majority of the patients Dr. Donath has treated… it is not a wonder cure and it does not help everyone.

On the right: healthy disc.

Center: Herniated disc with soft disc material leaking out.

On the left: Herniated disc material compressing or “pinching” nerve.

For that reason, Dr. Donath does a complete examination on every potential patient and only accepts you if he feels you are most likely to get the pain relief and outcome you are looking for.

Dr. Donath’s Special Deal For You! Because the economy is so bad and Dr. Donath wants to help you if possible, he is offering the first 17 people who respond to this article a free consultation and NSSD qualification examination.

And if you qualify for NSSD treatments, Dr. Donath will also give you one treatment for FREE! And if you do not qualify, Dr. Donath will help you find the best option for you.

That’s why, if you suffer with pain from a herniated/bulging disc or sciatica you should call 914-259-8104 right now. When Barbara answers the phone, simply tell her you would like your free non-surgical spinal decompression consultation and examination. If you are one of the first 17, she will schedule you within the next few days. If you are in a lot of pain or already scheduled for surgery, tell Barbara and she will be sure to get you in immediately.

Maybe even today.

On right: Herniated disc with spinal bones “squished” together.

Center: NSSD slightly pulls the spinal bones apart, opens up the disc space and allows herniated material to move back into the disc.

Left: Herniated material completely back in center of disc allows the disc to heal naturally.

Your consultation and examination should take about 60 minutes. During this time you can get all of your questiones answered in a warm and friendly environment.

You will know exactly what’s causing your pain and the best possible way to solve it.

Dr. Donath will explain to you all your possible options along with his recomendations so you can make the best choice for YOU.

Why Limited To 17?

Dr. Donath has limited the number he will accept right now to 17 because he does not believe patients should wait and they should also get the quality personal attention they deserve.

When you go for your free visit, I’m sure you will see how unique and pleasant the experience is. It’s nice to be treated like a person and not a number or based on insurance coverage. It’s also nice to know exactly what’s causing your pain and how to relieve it as fast as possible. Dr. Donath’s favorite cases are the one’s that were able to cancel back surgery after only a handful of treatments.

Dr. Donath also loves when a herniated disc patient that is in excruciating pain and thinks they’ve tried everything, lays down on the NSSD table, takes a 25 minute nap… and… wakes up with all their pain GONE! Just imagine how it would feel to have all your pain finally gone.

Imagine going to bed and being able to sleep the entire night through… … and waking up refreshed and energized… ready to take on the brand new day – without the pain and stiffness that has been terrorizing you.

And imagine finally knowing you have the solution to your herniated disc pain.

Well, you may not have to just “imagine” anymore… because… NSSD might start relieving your pain… in just 25 minutes!

So, if you’d like to see if you qualify and give this amazing technology a try for free… give Barbara a call at 914-259-8104 right now. Why wait one more day in pain when the solution may be one quick phone call away? Call now before someone else gets your free spot.

One More Thing It’s Important…

Ever since getting this wonderful technology, Dr. Donath’s office has been flooded with calls. For that reason, if when you call, the lines are busy or you go to voice mail… just keep calling back.

The possibility of living pain-free is well worth the time and effort it may take you to get through and schedule your appointment. 914-259-8104

A Solution to a Growing Problem For Seniors When seniors and business owners own a life or Key-Man Insurance, they’re essentially sitting on untapped funds. Through a life settlement, Advanced Loan or 1035 Exchange transaction they have the ability to harness the power of their life insurance.

These options are not known to many, in tapping into funds to pay for:

Advanced Benefit Loan versus Mortgage Loan: As people look to finally settle down and enjoy the fruits of their labor, it is estimated that 75 million people will look to retire over the next twenty plus years. This calculates to an average of 10,000 people a day as they reach the age of 65. These numbers have many businesses reaching out to this particular demographic in the fields on medicine, travel, finance, and home development.

• In-home and Long Term Care • Grandchildren College Education • Family trust establishment • Paying off mortgage and business loans • Recapitalization of a businees • And Other Essential Services

Home developers have started to market their new home developments in an effort to reach out to this growing community. These new developments look to cater to residents, who are 62+ years, in small towns in the tri state are. These new developments have all the amenities of a self-contained community, such as restaurants, marinas, yacht clubs, shopping and access to mass transit to travel in and out of New York City.

With the construction of all these new communities and all of its luxuries, these developments come with a high price tag. For some retirees, the price is too exuberant and taking out a mortgage is not desirable. Most retirees just want to enjoy their new home and not work on paying a 30 year mortgage. This is where an Advanced Benefit Loan can help.

Taking an advanced benefit loan against their life insurance, they will not have to take a mortgage to pay for their new home. The loan is collateralized against their life insurance. When the life insurance contract matures, the loan is paid by the life insurance proceeds; anything left will be inherited by their heirs.

Why do this??

1. No payment of income tax, this is a loan against your life insurance.

2. No home mortgage loan, you will own your home out right.

3. No credit checks or credit approval by banks.

This loan program is designed to assist seniors in accessing cash from their existing life insurance policy with no income requirements, no future premium obligations, and no out-of-pocket expenses.

In order to qualify, a senior must have in-force a life insurance policy. A senior will never be rejected due to lack of income, poor credit history, or previous bankruptcy.

If you would like to apply or have questions, call us today, we can speak with you to access your financial need, review your life insurance policy and determine your eligibility. If you are eligible, you will be asked to complete a loan application and provide requested documentation. Once we complete our review of your policy, we will notify you of approval and the amount of the loan.

Let me educate you on the benefits of selling your life insurance, taking an Advanced Loan or doing a 1035 Exchange

Seniors need to be informed:

1 3

There are millions of seniors who are in great need of financial resources during retirement, especially given the unknown high cost of long-term care.

According to the National Underwriter Company, a $1 million policy with only $103,000 surrender value Can be worth as much as $638,000.

2 4

We also know that more than 90% of seniors are unaware that their life insurance policy may have value beyond their cash surrender value.

Isn’t it time to explore another financial option?

You need to be informed:

85% of universal life policies and 90% of Term policies never pay out a death benefit.

Tip 1: Take stock Assess your loved one’s situation. Take an inventory of his or her individual needs.

Can he bathe, use the toilet, get dressed and eat? Can she get out of bed, climb stairs and take medications? This will help you figure out where you or your loved one may need outside assistance.

A geriatrician, a physician who specializes in treating older people, can also help to evaluate your loved one's needs.

Tip 2: Ask for help

Caregivers need help and support,too

Ask friends, family or your place of worship for assistance. Three words are very important for caregivers: Ask for help.

Keep a list of tasks, such as shoveling snow or sitting with your loved one, so you have an answer when people ask what they can do to help.

Enlisting friends, family or organizations is a sign of strength in a caregiver. Engage people to help you and try to take time for yourself. Self-care is not a luxury. It's your right as a human being.

Tip 3: Find local resources Identify and call your local agency on aging. After you have assessed your loved one’s needs, area agencies on aging offer the most efficient way to find the resources you need.

Tip 4: Tap the Internet Surf the Web, or find someone to do it for you. The Internet offers a wealth of information for caregivers. If you don't have a computer, perhaps a relative or neighbor can help. ask them to print information from national caregiving Websites for you to read.

Tip 5: Share your feelings

Are you a Caregiver?

According to the National Family Caregivers Association, there are about 50 million American caregivers.

But you may have taken on the role without even knowing it.

Experts have some helpful tips for caregivers: Identify yourself as a caregiver and get help to avoid caregiver burnout.

Find a support group. The old saying “there’s strength in numbers” holds true for caregivers. Just talking to others who are in your shoes offers camaraderie and practical advice about caregiving. Check area hospitals or senior centers for support groups.

If caregiving becomes too much, consider the services of a geriatric care manager.

These professionals are trained to help families who need help with caregiving issues, says the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers.

Above all, caregivers should be proactive and seek support.

Your Guide to get along with your family on Thanksgiving Your mother-in-law has an opinion about everything. Your uncle, how do we say, drinks too much. Your sister insists that she does the cooking and critiques your every move in the kitchen.

Happy Stressful Thanksgiving!

Although Thanksgiving is a wonderful opportunity for family to get together and enjoy delicious food, it can also present numerous challenges. No family is perfect and there is often conflict among even the happiest groups. Large holiday gatherings are especially prone to arguments, raised voices and drama.

However, there are some ways to keep the fighting to a minimum…really.

Whether you have already experienced a heart issue or have a family history of heart issues that puts you at risk, Cardiac Specialists offers the most advanced cardiac treatment and diagnostic technologies. Our physicians are leading cardiovascular experts who offer nationally recognized, compassionate and personalized care. They have trained at some of the world’s best cardiovascular institutions. With a proactive approach, they work to address your heart and vascular risk factors before they become serious problems. World class and in the neighborhood, Cardiac Specialists is the right choice for you and your heart.

Accepting new patients.

203.292.2000 Know your triggers Before you head to Thanksgiving dinner, think about what might get you riled up and try to keep your anger at bay.

Sometimes, someone might choose to bring up a ‘dumb’ thing you have done in the past. Sometimes it's just better to admit that it was dumb and then smile. If a relative continues with criticism, redirect.

You can do this by acknowledging the situation and then suggesting an alternate conversation topic.

Keep things neutral Avoid prickly topics around the dinner table by preparing more neutral topics ahead of time, such as conversing about movies you've seen, books you've read or experiences that you would like to share. This will help offset potential contentious conversations.

Try to always be ready with a topic that everyone can weigh in on without offending someone else around the table.

Don’t expect perfection Be more concerned with connecting with people than if the food turns out perfectly. It's not always easy for a large family to get together and all get along, but by preparing ahead of time, focusing on the positive and steering clear of hot-button topics you can ensure a relatively calm Thanksgiving dinner.

WHAT IS ULTHERAPY? Every once and a while, a concept so revolutionary comes along in medicine that it changes the way we do things. Ultherapy is one of those things.

Simply put, Ultherapy is Ultrasound Therapy. It works by passing ultrasonic energy through the superficial layers of the skin without affecting it to the deep fibromuscular layer, causing small amounts of thermal injury. This injury begins the

process of regeneration. As the tissue heals fresh new collagen and elastin grow, resulting in a tightening and lifting of the skin.

Yes, you read that correctly. Ultherapy is a non-invasive lift of the skin. It is currently FDA- approved for the eyebrows, face, neck and décolletage; and it theoretically will work anywhere we have skin.

The process of lifting happens in stages, and generally patients begin to see improvement within minutes to hours.

Over the course of weeks to months, proliferation of collagen and elastin begin to remodel tissue. So that over 6 months, one can see a dramatic improvement in their appearance.

Replacing a Scalpel with Ultrasound Energy… Now that’s revolutionary!

Getting to know: Dr. Kerry Wright, Women’s Health Connecticut Sometimes you simply know your calling. As a young girl, born in Mount Kisco, N.Y., Dr. Kerry Wright always wanted to become a doctor. And early in the game, she began putting that dream to the test.

“As a high school student, I volunteered at a local hospital and I quickly realized how much I enjoyed spending time in the Labor & Delivery unit. I couldn’t resist the balloons, flowers and big smiles of the brand new parents and their proud families.”

As part of her training to become an Ob-Gyn, Dr. Wright had the experience of working at Sloan-Kettering, a worldrenowned hospital in New York.

It was there that she began to find special meaning in her work as a physician. In caring for a newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patient, and counseling that patient and her family on how to proceed with treatment, she was overwhelmed by the gratitude the family expressed in their difficult time. It occurred to her then just how significant her role, and the counseling she offered, would be in each patient life she touched.

From that point on, she has devoted herself to making meaningful connections with each patient’s life.

Dr. Wright joined Women’s Health Care of Trumbull one year ago after being impressed by the reputation and work ethic of this all-women group of providers. The practice is well-established in the Trumbull community and a place where she is proud to work. She brings with her a specific expertise in Osteopathy, the holistic hands on treatment – through movement and massage, of the musculoskeletal system. The premise of osteopathy is that the health and wellness of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together. And, in an age where as women we all are looking for a more holistic and meaningful experience with their physician, Dr. Wright is well trained to deliver.

If you are looking for an Ob/Gyn that truly embraces her role and is easy to talk with, Dr. Wright is accepting new patients. Call Women’s Health Care of Trumbull at 203.374.1018.

Kerry Wright, and the other doctors of Women’s Health Care of Trumbull are part of Women’s Health Connecticut - a group of doctors working everyday to raise awareness, engagement and answers around key health care concerns and helping women connect to their most healthy lives.

tips to make sure you don’t overindulge

1. Healthy portions Keeping the portions in check is the key to a healthy Thanksgiving.

Just like at any other meal, half of your plate needs to constant of fruit and vegetables. The rest of your plate can consist of a single portion of potatoes, stuffing, and turkey.

Swollen Legs

Skin Damage

Skin Ulcers

If YOU ExPErIENCE: • A dull ache, burning or heaviness in the legs • Swelling of the feet, ankles, calves or legs • Itching, dry, stretched or scaling skin • Sores, bleeding and/or bruising after a minor injury You may be a candidate for insurance paid treatment.

87% of people with varicose veins do not seek treatment.

But, varicose veins are not just unattractive and painful.

Varicose veins also can be dangerous! These superficial veins are where you develop phlebitis (superficial clot and inflammation). Phlebitis increases the chance of associated deep vein thrombosis, and this increases the risk of pulmonary emboli — life-threatening blood clots

2. Healthy Ingredients Just by changing some of the ingredients in the traditional dishes, it will transform them into healthy Thanksgiving dishes without sacrificing the taste. Replace s few t potatoes that will be used to make mashed potatoes with parsnips. Use chicken broth instead of butter to mash potatoes. Swap Greek yogurt for sour cream and whole wheat crust for a regular crust.

3. Water and a walk One of the easiest things to do to guarantee a healthy Thanksgiving is to drink a lot of water. Not only will you stay hydrated, but it will help to keep you from overeating. To keep your metabolism going, take a walk after dinner instead of falling asleep in your recliner.

4. No snacks It is too hard to keep track of calories with so much food sitting around. Put the food away when dinner is over.

5. Eat A healthy Thanksgiving does not mean going without the special foods. It means keeping your senses and keeping the portions of the unhealthy foods in check. It means if you really want some pie, you eat one slice and not the whole big pumpkin pie.

5 diabetes superfoods for patients on a budget Eating healthy doesn’t necessarily mean settling for less tasty foods or going over budget, especially for diabetes patients. A low-glycemic diet — high in fiber and protein — is recommended for most diabetics to help control blood sugar levels and weight. Following a diabetes diet will still allow diabetics to eat their favorite foods, yes, even those with the sweetest tooth.

Diabetics should ensure they consume foods that provide key nutrients — calcium, potassium, fiber, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, and E — to improve glycemic control and risk factors for coronary heart disease. This low-glycemic diet is not just for diabetics, but ideal for everyone, especially to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes for non-diabetics. A tasty, healthy eating plan — high in nutrients, low in fat, and moderate in calories — can be created by adding these five budget-friendly superfoods to any diabetes diet:

1. Beans Beans are considered to be the best source of dietary fiber as it slows digestion and keeps blood sugar levels from raising after a meal. Whether you prefer kidney, pinto, navy, or black beans, half a cup will provide you with about a third of your daily fiber requirement, says Harvard University Health Services.

These starchy vegetables are a great alternative to meat.

Tip: Buying canned beans can save time and end up costing you less.

Remember to drain and rinse these beans to reduce sodium intake.

2. Berries Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, or a variety can cater to even the sweetest tooth and become part of your new healthy dessert. Berries are considered to be a diabetes superfood by the American Diabetes Association, loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. Most importantly, they’re low in carbs. Three quarters of a cup of fresh blueberries have 62 calories and 16 grams of carbohydrates.

Tip: Buy fruits and vegetables when they are in season. The quality of the fruit will not only be richer, but they will typically cost less. To purchase produce that is out of season, opt for canned and frozen fruits which can not only be cheaper, but also stay fresh longer.

3. Cinnamon To add some spice to your life, just sprinkle cinnamon on your foods to effectively lower your blood sugar levels. Cinnamon helps the body use insulin more effectively, allowing more glucose to enter cells. Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day has been shown to significantly reduce blood sugar levels, triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels for those with type 2 diabetes, said Dr. Mercola, physician and surgeon, on his website.

Tip: Check to see if there is a discount grocery store in your area where you can save up to 40 percent in groceries.

4. Fat-Free Milk and Yogurt Milk and yogurt contain calcium that helps build strong bones and teeth, and they are also a good source of vitamin D. Diabetics who consume calciumrich foods, such as yogurt, may have an easier time losing weight, and are less likely to become insulin resistant, according to HealthCentral. A nonfat, plain yogurt for breakfast, or as a snack can be garnished with fresh fruit or low-fat granola.

Tip: Opt to buy store brands because they often taste the same and could even save you more than 50 percent.

5. Fish Fish is an excellent substitute for meats with high fat because they are a good source of protein. Fatty fish contains omega-3 fatty acids — unsaturated fats — that help keep the arteries cleaner. Typically, diabetics have high triglycerides and low levels of HDL — the “good” cholesterol, so opting for fatty fish can help improve your health. Salmon, mackerel, and tuna are among some of the excellent sources of omega-3s.

Tip: Visit a local grocer or fish market and look at the eyes and the gills to make sure there is no discoloration. It’s better to cook the fish immediately, rather than to put it in the freezer where the fish can get mushy.

great (and new) ways to celebrate Thanksgiving with your family Highlights of Thanksgiving Day usually include watching the parade, the games, eating turkey, eating more turkey, before that snooze on the couch after your company departs.

However, Turkey Day isn’t just about the entertainment and heaping plates of food. Perhaps, this year, you will start a new tradition that brings out the importance and symbolism of the holiday.

What do we have in mind?

Begin by asking yourself what Thanksgiving means to you. Is it about faith? Family? Giving back to the community? Use these ideals into to shape your new tradition in a fun, creative way.

Donate to charity Thanksgiving is also a great time to sort through the kids’ toys and clothing and donate what they no longer need to a local homeless shelter, preschool, church or nursery. Christmas is just around the corner, so you’re going to need some extra room anyway!

Construct a family tablecloth Have each person write their signature, the date and what they are thankful for on a plain white tablecloth before the meal begins. Use the same tablecloth each year and enjoy reading the old memories before adding new ones.

Volunteer Start a new family tradition by giving back to the community.

Check with your local community center or homeless shelter to see if they serve a Thanksgiving dinner. If so, volunteer as a family to work in the center’s kitchen for the day.

Design a family cookbook Type your favorite family Thanksgiving recipes into a word processing program on the computer and print out copies to give out to the extended family. Have kids decorate the recipes with drawings of each food, and then scan them onto the document.

Visit the elderly Do you live too far away from extended family to go home for Thanksgiving? Many local nursing homes or assisted living facilities run Adopt-a-Grandparent programs that strive to forge lasting relationships between seniors and members of the local community.

You and the kids can visit with an elderly resident who doesn’t have nearby family to celebrate the holidays with.

History Lesson Help the kids make pilgrim hats and read the story of the first Thanksgiving.

Gather items to decorate the table like the pilgrims may have had for the first Thanksgiving, like leaves, pine cones and a cornucopia filled with fruit. Talk together about how different life was for kids in 1621 compared to today.

If you have older kids, let them do some research on the Internet and share what they learned with guests before Thanksgiving dinner.

What do doctors do to treat their own pain?

As a board-certified internist who has been in practice for over 13 years, I spend much of my time attempting to alleviate the pain and suffering of my patients. As a clinician, one of the biggest challenges I face is helping my patients deal with musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain syndromes—those all-too-common, yet frequently debilitating ailments caused by bad backs, pinched nerves, arthritis, and the like. Unfortunately, much of what I have to offer my patients boils down to the following: take a pain pill, stretch if you can, wait, and hope for the best. After a failed trial of “conservative” therapy a call might go out to the orthopedic surgeon for assistance; a truly satisfactory result is not common. The simple fact is that physicians are not well trained to deal with musculoskeletal pain, and patients can suffer as a result.

Thankfully, my views on this topic have been turned completely upside down since I havepersonally discovered Dr. Jonathan Donath’s outstanding practice. After beginning a vigorous exercise regimen I started to experience awful neck and upper back pain, accompanied by numbness and tingling down my left arm and fingers. For weeks I tried to nurse the pain with non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, but the pain persisted and got to the point that I was almost unable to work, sleep, or most importantly, play guitar. I wasliterally in tears from the excruciating pain. A neurosurgeon diagnosed a herniated disc and pinched nerve in my neck and offered to decompress it with an operation. In desperation I called Dr. Donath instead.

My visit to Dr. Donath’s office was an outstanding experience. He spent about an hour with me and combined multiple modalities to fix the herniated disc in my neck: deep massage, active release techniques, traditional manipulation, cold therapy, and finally spinal decompression. After that first hour with Dr. Donath my pain had decreased from a 10/10 down to a manageable 4/10, and I was able to comfortably move my head and neck. That very night I was able to play guitar again. Two days later I went back for another series of treatments and the pain decreased even further. After about five days the pain was absolutely gone. Unbelievable! Since then he has used the same wonderful techniques to help me overcome painful bouts of sciatica as well.

My own patients and family members have become “believers” in Dr. Donath’s abilities as well--- the results he achieves are real and lasting. He is my go to guy for the majority of musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain syndromes that I now realize are truly treatable.

Dr. Robert Sidlow MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine

I am a pediatrician and in my work, I have to bend down a lot and I’m constantly lifting kids. I usually have one to three bad flare ups of low back pain every year. When my back would "go out", I could barely walk to the bathroom and would have to lie down in bed for a few days. I have tried everything: doing nothing and "toughing it out", muscle relaxants, physical therapy, chiropractic, therapeutic massage, and even painful steroid injections. Nothing worked.

When I moved to Westchester, I met Dr. Jonathan Donath. In just a couple of sessions with Dr. Donath, the pain completely disappeared.

If it hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't have believed it. During my last flare up, I was expecting to be on my back for 2-3 days and in pain for 2 weeks. Instead, after one session with Dr. Donath, I was able to walk; two more sessions and I was fine. I could walk, bend down and I had almost no pain. Since that last back episode, Dr. Donath has helped me with my tendonitis in my right hand and with my chronic knee problems. I recommend Dr. Donath to everyone with back, muscle or joint pain. Even if you have not had relief with other treatments and other Chiropractors, give Dr. Donath a chance. I did and he changed my life.

Eugene Dinkevich MD, Mount Vernon, NY It’s my great pleasure to write about Westchester Spinal Decompression Center. I really don’t have words to express my feelings about the care I got in last 3 months. I was almost handicapped, living with terrible pain all the time, crippling my day to day life. I am a medical doctor and work in a hospital with all sorts of amazing physicians, but after seeing a physical therapist, getting epidural steroids injections, many orthopedists and neurosurgeons, finally my destination lead me to see Dr Jonathan Donath. With great skepticism, I lied down for spinal decompression therapy. It was unbelievable that after only two initial sessions, my radiating pain down my leg had almost disappeared. Gradually, I started getting better, started doing exercises that they gave me midway through the treatment. Now, I am doing all my daily activities without any pain.

I highly recommend Dr Jonathan and his colleague Dr Kavita for any problems related to the musculoskeletal system, you will definitely feel at home and will get better.
