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

Healthcare news

They are the first people you call when you get engaged, the people you vent to when wedding planning stress gets the best of you and the people you lean on for sound life advice.

They are your mom. With that, Healthcare News would like to say: Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms out there!

Thank you for always being there throughout our lives.

One of the many beautiful things about Mother's Day is that it’s universal. Everyone has or had a mother, and almost everyone else is a mother, is looking forward to being a mother, is married to a mother, or has a sister or sister-in-law who is a mother.

If your mom is still around, be thankful, and don't forget to call her. Even if she's not, you can still take out a photo or reflect on all the wonderful things about her. Wherever she is, she's probably thinking of you, too.

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10 this year. Of course, we celebrate this special woman every day.

From all of us at Healthcare News, have a Happy Mother’s Day!

10 Healthy Gifts For Mother’s Day Most moms will truly appreciate that your Mother's Day gift is aimed at keeping her happy, healthy, and in your life for a long time. Healthcare News came up with a list of healthy gift ideas for every mom.

1. Dark Chocolate: Here’s a sweet truth if mom has a sweet tooth – dark chocolate packs a powerful health punch. Instead of candy or milk chocolate that is higher in saturated fat, opt for dark cocoa which decreases the risk of heart disease and stroke, protect the skin and improve the mood.

6. Unique Fruit Bouquet: An edible fruit arrangement is a healthy way to encourage the eating of fresh fruit.

3. Fitness Gift Bag: Load up a new gym bag with things for the gym. Ideas may include a new sports bottle, pedometer, some new workout attire and an iPod pre-loaded with her favorite workout music.

5. Healthy Brunch: Make the most important meal of the day the most delicious – and healthy. From eggs and turkey bacon, to whole-wheat pancakes and hearty quiches, the options are endless.

4. Spa Weekend: Give a gift that will truly touch her this year – a luxurious spa getaway that includes a massage, facial, manicure and/or pedicure. You can either go with her, or get her a gift certificate.

6. Gym Membership: This is a great way to help her kick-start her workout routine.

A gym membership can also make a great gift if she already belongs and wants to renew her membership. Consider buying one for yourself, too, and work out as a team!

Skip the perfume this Mother’s Day and give your mom something she really needs — the gift of good health.

7. More sleep: Buy your mom satin sheets, a new mattress, a mattress cover, or a luxurious pillow to encourage better sleep. Restorative sleep is critical to our immune system and heart health. For new mothers, offer to watch the baby while she takes a nap.

8. Exercise Equipment or Sporting Goods: If you're looking for a gift for an active woman, consider sporting equipment. Specific equipment for her favorite activity will delight an enthusiast.

9. Healthy Gift Basket: Help her reach her nutrition and weight loss goals by combining thoughtful gift ideas like a low-calorie cookbook, health bars, infused oils and vinegars for salads, a subscription to a healthy cooking magazine and a personalized journal to track her diet and progress.

10. Sweat Sessions: If mom is a fan of yoga or Pilates or wants to give personal training a try, get her a gift certificate with a few group classes or private one-on-one sessions.

Another day, another fad diet.

At least, that’s the way it seems. There are no-carb diets, low-fat regimes and the lemon detox. Then there are the rules: Banning white foods, abstaining from coffee or eating only apples. The list of do’s and dont’s seems never ending.

So how do we separate fact from fiction? Here is our list of

Big, fat diet lies Carbs are good any time of the day Banning bread and pasta from your diet altogether is not recommended, but limiting your carbohydrate intake in the evening will help with weight loss.

Here’s a tip: The best time of day for carbohydrate intake is breakfast because it gives you energy to get through the day. Eat wholegrain breads and cereal and avoid processed carbohydrates such as white bread Lifting weights makes you bulk up, rather than lose weight This is a big misconception, especially among women: Weight training will not only make you leaner and more toned, but that the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn, even when you are resting.

Here’s a tip: In addition to your cardio workout, aim for 2 to 3 weight-training sessions a week to increase the amount of muscle.

Salads are the best diet option Just because there's some lettuce in a caesar salad, it doesn't mean it's healthy. While salads are a great lunch choice, they can also be packed with a lot of fat, particularly if you add nuts, cheese, dressing and avocado.

Here’s a tip: Make your own salad with fat-free dressing.

Low fat is best Beware of foods that are "low fat" or "fat free.” While they might be low in fat, many of them are laden with sugar, so they often have just as many calories as the full-fat version. Yogurts can be a trap, too. Some brands are low in fat, but high in sugar.

Here’s a tip: Read labels carefully. Check both the fat content and the total kilojoules per serving, as well as sugar and salt levels.

Nuts are fattening A handful of almonds a day can help you lose weight, increase your metabolic rate and lower cholesterol. Plus, nuts are a protein-rich snack, which makes you feel fuller faster, and for longer.

WE CAN WEAR SHORT SHORTS! How Creative Advances in Medical Aesthetics Have Changed the World As We Know It…Permanently

Remember that 70s ad? The one with those girls with perfect legs that we females both envied and hated at the same time?

It’s amazing how times have changed! Back then, they were advertising perfect legs because they had a fancy new cream that removed hair. Nowadays with the advent of lasers, hair isn’t much of an issue anymore.

Unfortunately, some things haven’t changed since then. Most women still are not comfortable wearing short shorts, or just plain shorts, because most women still don't feel they have presentable legs.

A recent survey showed that THIGHS AND CELLULITE rank #2 and #3 of the top concerns women have about their bodies.

So even if the legs are hairless, they are still not getting shown.

What a shame.

We have waited all winter to slip into something cute and bare, but a flirty and cute dress or even just plain shorts may not feel so sexy or fun when our cellulite is exposed. It is a source of embarrassment for many women no matter their size or shape, and exercise doesn’t always work. I have marathoners come to me for cellulite…if they can’t get rid of it, how does the average woman have a fighting chance?

The answer is it’s 2015…we have the technology and it is called TRUSCULPT. It is the latest non-surgical, no downtime procedure that’s clinically proven to target problem areas on the body that are stubborn to diet and exercise.

TruSculpting is an energy based procedure that delivers controlled, yet comfortable, doses of therapeutic heat to targeted zones, firming and smoothing the problem areas over time. Most people need 2-4 treatments, although some lucky ducks like the girl below see significant results after just one treatment!

TruSculpting doesn’t just work on the legs, it can help anywhere we have loose skin and/or a layer of unwanted fat.

So hey, ladies! Let’s revisit those short shorts and pretty dresses and feel great about ourselves this summer!

Here’s what most people don’t understand. When you’re heavy, you lose your strength, vitality, and you can become feeble. And on top of that you can age prematurely because your “fat” cells clog your body’s vital organs. That will change after you start utilizing this system. You may be like some

people who have lost their figure due to this FAT clogging weight gain.

The problem is, most overweight people are unable to find a simple, easy to follow system to reduce their fat and then keep it off. Even their coordination, daily movement and attractiveness are destroyed with this weight gain. That will all change when you start using this system.

Here is what I can do for you.

CALL the office NOW!. You won’t have to make any radical changes in your lifestyle with this program, … have surgery, or take any harmful drugs.

Your treatments are private and you will start to lose up to 1-2 pounds per day, depending on your size, age, condition of your body and follow through.

You will consult with me personally for follow up and questions. Once you’ve reached your desired weight, you’ll have your shape back, have more energy, and you’ll have your self-esteem back.

Doesn’t get any better than that!!

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.

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.

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.
