I was a patient who came to see Dr Jonath with a lot of pain and discomfort in my lower back. He was able to see me right away and he followed up with me the same say of the appointment and the day after. I am feeling much better. I really want to thank Dr Jonath for not only being able to ease and make my pain go away but also for being supportive and telling me i ll be ok. Thank you!

I have been a patient of Dr. Donath, on and off, for 4 years and always found his treatments to be very helpful. More recently, I developed severe headaches which were occurring more and more frequently. Initially, I sought treatment with Neurologists; they diagnosed me with atypical migraines and proceeded to prescribe one drug after the other forcing me to live with a number of unpleasant side affects (just ask my wife). I sought a more holistic approach and immediately thought of Dr. Donath. Right from the very first treatment I had relief. It became clear that the Neurologists had been treating me for the wrong type of headaches. After a few weeks of treatments, I was virtually pain free. I feel a great debt to Dr. Donath, and would recommend him to anyone seeking relief from any kind of chronic pain.

My shoulders were in such bad shape that I was having a very difficult time lifting my arms above my head, getting dressed and drying my hair was a challenge. I had one session with Dr. Donath and I couldn't believe the immediate relief I experienced. I was truly amazed at how much better I felt. My range of motion has significantly increased and I feel confident I'm on the right path.

I would like to thank Dr.Donath for his advice and the treatment I received for back pain. I am currently in my 5th month of pregnancy and am doing pretty well. I had sciatica of my right leg and suffered unbearable pain with numbness restricting my daily activities. I must say although I had pain while I was undergoing the treatment, the relief I received afterward was worth it all. I did not have to taken any pain medications and with 3 treatments, I was doing incredibly well. I have never received any prior chiropractic treatment and hence was quite apprehensive of the same at first but am very glad that I came to the right place and thankfully am now pain free!!!Thank you Dr.Donath. My husband and I truly appreciate your help!!

As an accountant you can imagine how I felt when on a Thursday during tax season, I went to stand up from my desk and could not move due to terrible back pain. I was fine until that point. I pushed through that day with ice, heat, advil, and stretching, but the pain only got worse. On Friday I started calling friends and looking on-line for recommendations for Chiropractors. I called a few, but the ones who called back could not see me until the following week. I made an appointment to see Dr. Donath on Tuesday, and then on Sunday I received a phone call from Dr. Donath who was calling me from the airport in Las Vegas. He had received a message from his staff about the pain I was in and wanted to know the symptoms. I told him and he first apologized that he could not see me until Tuesday, but told me what I could do to help alleviate the pain until then. I knew at that time that even if someone else could have seen me sooner, I was going to Dr. Donath. How many doctors would have made that phone call?After 2 visits with Dr. Donath, I was functional, and after 5 visits I was pain free. Thank you Dr. Donath for saving my Tax Season!

I wanted to let you know how pleased I am that I came to your practice back in November of 2007. As you know, I had been suffering for a number of months from what I thought was a reoccurrence of some nerve pain that was from surgery I had back in 1975. The pain in my legs was waking me up at night, keeping me awake and my legs were very weak to the point that walking was slow and painful. At the suggestion of my spouse, I came to you to seek out an alternative treatment that might be able to give me relief. After meeting with you and discussing the alternatives, I decided to move forward with the spinal decompression. Because of the pain I was in I put my faith in you that this could make a significant difference in not only how I felt, but with my overall body motion. After I had the MRI, you were able to focus on the source of the pain, which was actually a new ruptured disc…not from my older injury. Even though it took a bit longer to get to the point that I knew I was getting some relief, I am glad I stuck it out! Today, I am 99% better, with almost all of the pain from my legs gone. I have a much better range of motion, am stronger and resumed skiing and playing golf. I can say that without this treatment I would have not been where I am today. I would certainly recommend this treatment and your services to anyone with similar problems.

I have been a daily headache sufferer my whole life.  About 10 years ago I added leg and foot pain to my list.  In addition to that, I have a weak immune system, driven to a state of crisis by my most recent pregnancy.  Any difficult day inevitably turned impossible when pain is added on top.  Simple tasks turn monumental when you are not in good health.  Anyone who suffers like this knows the sacrifices you and your family makes to pick up the slack.  I have tried many different types of therapies, including various chiropractors, and stuck with them for years in the hopes that if I never gave up, some relief would be in sight.  At some point I wanted to give up and accept that this is the quality of my life. One day I was at Westchester Medical Group for one of my many sick visits and the Doctor there suggested I go see Dr. Donath. Dr. Donath instantly gave me hope when he agreed to see me, a stranger to his practice, before his office opened, because he was totally booked that day. Not only is he the ultimate professional, a decent and wonderful person, but he is a MIRACLE WORKER. After only a couple of months, I have reduced my pain so much so that I have to remind myself when my last headache was! My immune system is better than it has been for years, and the stresses of everyday life are just that now. Not only do I have him to thank for my newfound health, but more importantly, for the time it has given me to enjoy and care for my family.

I have 4 herniated discs in my cervical spine and for the past 5-6 yrs have been experiencing various manifestations of this........from severe arm pain to numbness and tingling and decreased motor coordination. For at least one year I saw an ad for spinal decompression by a chiropractor in White Plains and one day I decided to call and make an appointment for information and an evaluation. After 2 treatments with Dr. Donath I felt significant relief in my neck and shoulders; I could actually turn my head without thinking about it! After my prescribed treatment course I am feeling better than I ever thought possible. I am so thankful for this technology and the new me after this treatment.

I suffered from migraines all throughout high school, and was able to manage them to some degree with medication taken when I had the headaches. This worked relatively well up until the middle of my first year of college, when I had to go to the emergency room one night because the pain was so bad. Soon after that visit, I saw a neurologist who prescribed me a heavy anti-seizure medication, because there is no medication that is made to target just migraine headaches. I was on this preventative medication for about four months with almost no headaches, and then all of a sudden they returned. My family had been treated by Dr. Donath in the past, with excellent results, and made an appointment for me to see him one day when I couldn't even go to work because the pain was so bad. After that first treatment, going in with pain, I came out much more relaxed and confident in Dr. Donath's ability to work with my body to definitely ease, and (I hoped!) eliminate the migraines.  A few months later, I have been off of my medication for more than a month, and have been migraine free for the same amount of time! Going from having between three and five migraines a week to none is really amazing. And getting me off of the heavy medication I was taking is great, too! I'm feeling better than I have in a very long time and Dr. Donath helped me get better faster than I ever imagined possible.  Thank you for all your help, Dr. Donath!

I first began to see Dr. Donath concerning unbearable pains which resulted from multiple fractures sustained approximately 36 years before. It was indisputable that many of the structural defects sustained in feet, legs and hips could not actually be reversed orthopedically. However, since orthopedic surgical adjustments had indeed helped my mobility, I hoped perhaps to be assisted through chiropractic with the incapacitation caused by multiple continual pains. I had experienced little success with chiropractic adjustments performed by other professionals. However, in searching the Internet, I returned repeatedly to the site of Joint Effort Chiropractic. Dr. Donath's approach seemed far more knowledgeable and intelligent than those of chiropractors I had encountered; so I felt it was worthwhile to 'give it a shot'. In fact, Dr. Donath miraculously made unbearable pains transform into manageable discomforts. He actually diagnosed, in neurological and lay terms, the causes of major physical stressors; treated them with manual and mechanical procedures; and all along clarified to me what was being done. Amazed, I found myself functional and agony-free beyond my dreams! In short, there is no 'defining' Dr. Donath as 'a chiropractor': He is a doctor on the highest order. This professional deserves the highest accolades, not only for successfully combating pain and enabling function, but also for elucidating the patient's problems and their resolutions so as to be understandable to the patient him/herself. Dr. Donath's brilliance results in effective and transformational outcomes because he possesses, as well, the exceedingly rare quality of empathy. I am thankful beyond description for the good fortune of finding this true paragon of medical professionalism!
