How to Help Stenosis and Disc Pain
Once and for All... Without Drugs, Shots, Surgery or even Chiropractic Now, in Kittery, ME, one doctor is helping local residents with back pain live more active, pain-free lives. Do You Have Any of the Following Conditions? • Stenosis • Low back pain • Tendonitis
• Disc pain • Neck pain • Arthritis pain
Living with back pain can feel like a crippling experience. Let’s face it, your back isn’t as young as it used to be, and playing with the kids or grand-kids isn’t any easier either. Maybe your back pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your back hurts, and the pain just won’t go away! My name is Dr. Jeff Donatello, owner of York Chiropractic Health Center. Since we opened 18 years ago, we’ve seen hundreds of people with back problems leave the office pain free. If you’re suffering from these conditions, a new breakthrough in medical technology may completely eliminate your pain and help restore normal function to your back.
Finally, You Have an Option Other Than Drugs or Surgery
Using a K-laser (Class 4 laser) is an outpatient, nonsurgical procedure, often used in physical therapy and sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. It offers a noninvasive treatment to promote healing for those who suffer from pain in muscles, nerves, and joints, like that associated with chronic back pain. This same laser is used by professional sports teams including the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Bengals.
It Promotes Rapid Healing of the Injured Tissues
This pain-free, nonsurgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing process, providing pain relief and reducing injury damage. This leading-edge technology has an impressive success rate of returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life. Patients treated with the K-laser often show a higher level of function, both during and after the treatment period. The therapeutic laser provides a tremendous alternative for those facing surgery.
Could This Noninvasive, Natural Treatment Be the Answer to Your Back Pain?

Treat Sleeplessness with Vitamins and Supplements Millions of people around the world battle insomnia. Sleeplessness may be a byproduct of different conditions, and treatment may depend on the underlying cause of the insomnia. Many people find using allnatural supplement therapy is enough to ward off sleeplessness. Insomnia is more prevalent among elderly individuals and women. Elderly people are more likely than younger ones to have medical conditions that may cause pain at night or to take medication that can interfere with a good night’s rest. Some research suggests that men lose about 80 percent of their deep sleep between the ages of 16 and 50. For women, hormonal events often trigger sleeplessness. These can include menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. Individuals who are over the age of 50 may be more prone to anxiety, grief and depression which can cause sleeplessness. Although there are many different medications, be it prescription medications or overthe-counter drugs, to alleviate symptoms of sleeplessness, some people prefer to not take these medications due to the risk of dependency or the side effects associated with them. Hypnotics, which include the brand name Ambien, have been linked to morning drowsiness and even temporary amnesia, where individuals walk around, drive or even cook while under the medication and are unaware of what they are doing. Those who are looking for more natural approaches can use the following vitamins and minerals in conjunction with good sleep hygiene. Calcium and magnesium combination: Calcium and magnesium have been shown to relax the central nervous system, helping the body drift into sleep. According to Dr. William Sears, calcium helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to man-

Our Patients Say It Best
“I work for TSA and have to travel a lot. I went to two chiropractors and they didn’t help. In fact, Dr. Donatello’s chiropractic care didn’t help until we added the laser to my treatments. When we did this, my pain went away, the tension disappeared and I could travel on a plane for 8 hours without problems. I have not been able to do that in years.” ~ Brian H., Kittery Point, Maine
