I am a 58 year old anesthesiologist who has suffered from lower back pain for over 20 years. I have tried many therapies in the past including massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, and most recently two epidural steroid injections. An MRI revealed severely degenerative L5-S1 disc disease and I was recommended to undergo spinal fusion surgery by three neurosurgeons. I have always been active and exercise regularly, however despite my efforts my pain continued to progress.My pain had advanced to the point of making it difficult to sleep through the night and in the morning it was a strain to bend over to tie my shoes. Getting through a day at work was becoming increasingly difficult. In desperation and with a great degree of skepticism I decided to look into spinal decompression therapy and made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Jonathan Donath. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism, thoroughness, and confidence that he would be able to help me with my back problems. I immediately began his intensive program including decompression, nutrition, and slowly incorporated an exercise program. Through these treatments I gradually noticed a significant decrease in my pain and improving range of motion in my back. I presently sleep through the night pain free, am comfortable at work, and have resumed playing golf without problems. At the present time I have a low level of discomfort and stiffness in my back, but I am more confident than ever that I will eventually be pain free. All of this was done without missing a day of work or undergoing a major surgical procedure. Dr. Donath has not only made a major improvement in my back pain, but he has become a true friend and colleague. It is my privilege to write this testimonial to his care, and I would strongly urge others suffering from back pain to see Dr. Donath.

I really don't have words to express my feelings about the care I got in the 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 for any problems related to the musculoskeletal system, you will definitely feel at home and will get better.

In 2007, I was given orthopedic insoles for my shoes, because my podiatrist told me that I had flat feet.  But even with the pain, I could barely finish my 500 meter run in gym class, always out of breath, with a throbbing, aching pain all down my legs and in my feet.  It persisted for two years, until my doctor recommended going to see Dr. Donath.  I have a fear of needles and pain that makes it almost impossible for me to be comfortable in anything related to doctors and medicine.  Dr. Donath instantly made me feel more comfortable and explained everything to me, which made it easier to understand.  I was going in twice a week, and in two weeks I was already feeling a lot better.  The first time I had gym in three months, I didn't even notice that I was no longer in pain while running around.  The best part is that I actually looked forward to seeing Dr. Donath because I felt completely at ease, and he is one of the nicest doctors I've ever met. Thank you so much!

For about 5 years, I had been suffering gradually increasing pain in my lower back. This condition has caused enough discomfort to restrict many physical activities such as high school sports officiating, hiking & skiing. I had tried physical therapy, but found only minimal relief.When I met with Dr. Donath, frankly I was a little skeptical of what spinal decompression could actually accomplish for me. After a consultation with an explanation of the process, I decided to give it a try, since nothing else had been effective. The process itself is very comfortable & relaxing & lasts just short of 30 minutes. After about 3 weeks of treatment, I noticed that I had less back discomfort than before & in the ensuing weeks I was able to start to increase my physical activities without serious discomfort. At this time I have almost no back discomfort at all and icing easily relieves it.For me, the logic of the explanation of the treatment proved true & I am very thankful. I haven’t felt this comfortable in at least 5 years.Dr. Donath & his staff are all very attentive to their patients & I am grateful for the treatment given. Decompression worked for me!

In Feb 2008, I was told I needed to get surgery in both of my hands for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I definitely did not want surgery. I started to Google for a Doctor in Westchester and found Dr. Donath. He started working on my hand right away with the Active Release Treatment, within a few visits the numbness and tingling went away. It is amazing that Dr. Donath was able to relieve the tension with his hands and not with surgery. I was relieved to be able to find a non-surgical solution!

I have been having lower back pain since I sprained it in my early thirties. From that time, I received physical and massage therapy for about a year. My pain did go away but my back stiffened and I became a wonderful patron of the ICY HOT products. Eventually, my back improved, however fast forward a few years later, I discovered I had a herniated and degenerative disc disease. My pain was excruciating, I could not stand, bend, lift, without feeling jolts of pain. In association with this pain was severe numbness and tingling which radiated throughout my body up until I saw Dr. Donath. At the onset of the pain, my neurologist recommended muscle relaxer pills, numerous physical therapy consultations. However, when none of it worked, I was referred to a neurosurgeon who recommended surgery. Therefore, I began to scour the internet to seek alternative treatments. I had heard about spinal decompression and I decided to research it on YouTube and that's when I discovered Dr. Donath's practice. After my first consultation, I felt 50 percent better. Then after the 3rd, 100% better. It was a miracle, but in all honesty, the skeptic inside of me waited for the pain to return but it didn't. The treatments were so good that I traveled 3 ½ hours each way from Queens to White Plains just to get the Spinal Decompression treatment because I had to take public transportation. However, all my efforts were worth it because the pain dramatically reduced and I returned to physical activities that I enjoyed and fulfilled me without severe aches and pain.

Dr. Donath was extremely knowledgeable and highly professional. He showed empathy and concern for my pain and was very assuring. His staff was efficient,kind,friendly and met all of my special needs with kindnesses. I found the office to be beautifully designed and maticulously clean. I had very little wait time for my appointment and got all of the care I needed in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Dr. Donath and his lovely staff. Not only will you feel better, but it will be a Dr's visit you will look forward to keeping.

As a board certified family physician, I am very open to the idea of 'complementary' medical therapies which may be beneficial to my patients, as an adjunct or alternative to traditional medicine. The challenge, I find, is developing relationships with providers in the area that I feel comfortable referring patients to when I am confident they might benefit from this care.  Luckily, my own search for chiropractic care led me to Dr. Jonathan Donath. Not only has he been able to help me with a variety of issues, from migraine headaches to pregnancy related back pain to exercise related ailments, but he has proven to be a valuable resource to me as an urgent care physician.  Doctors usually make the worst patients, and I am no exception.  I usually call on Dr. Donath in some moment of desperation, when some ailment or injury is preventing me from keeping up with my busy life. In 'short order' (usually one or two visits, because I rarely have more time than that!) he is able to get me some relief and break the cycle of discomfort, as well as provide me with tips or exercises to remedy the root of the problem.  Some of the patients I refer to Dr. Donath are in need of this kind of specific targeted treatment for a painful condition--I know that based on my own experience, Dr. Donath will be able to give them some relief in one or two treatments which might ameliorate their need for other medications, as well as provide them with exercises and modification of activities to prevent the pain in the future.  The other category of patient he has been able help are those who have a more chronic condition--those who have 'tried everything' that conventional medicine can offer them, and still have pain or disability. I am happy to be able to provide those patients an option that they might not have explored yet. Additionally, it is nice to be able to assure these patients that I have personal experience with Dr. Donath and that he has helped me--he is not just another name on a piece of paper.
