Where do doctors go to treat their own pain?

Dr. Robert Sidlow MD, MBA—Internist, New York, NY “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 alltoo-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 have personally discovered Dr. Jonathan Donath's outstanding practice. After beginning a vigorous exercise regime, 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 was literally 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.”

THE NECK & BACK PAIN SOLUTION Dr. Donath’s new book is available at Amazon.com or a free E-book can be downloaded from his website.

Dr. Gregory Galano MD, Orthopedic Surgeon White Plains and New York, NY

As a board-certified sports medicine orthopedist, I see many patients with activity-related joint, back, and neck pain. Often I am confronted with patients that have exhausted other conservative forms of treatment, but fail to have lasting relief. Many of these patients would like to avoid surgery or may not even be good candidates for surgical procedures.

Dr. Donath has proved extremely helpful to this patient population. He spends a great deal of time listening and examining the patient in order to formulate an individualized treatment plan. He offers innovative treatment options which include chiropractic, active release therapy, Graston technique, non-operative spinal decompression, and even exercise and nutrition programs. Having shared many patients with Dr. Donath, I have seen firsthand the positive interventions he has made in their daily lives and activities. They express the utmost respect and confidence in his clinical evaluation and knowledge, as well as his treatment techniques. I have no reservations recommending him highly to any patient I think may benefit from his services.

Dr. Annebeth Litt, MD Internist, White Plains, NY

“Dr. Donath is amazing. As an internist, I have to decide between traditional western medicine and chiropractic care for my patients with back pain and other joint-related complaints. Dr. Donath's thorough and comprehensive approach to care allows my patients to get relief faster and less invasively.

The result is invariably positive.

One of my patients said he got his life and golf game back after seeing Dr. Donath. Another said that he was able to get rid of a pain she had for over 5 years in just a few sessions. I can confirm his success first-hand: Dr. Donath relieved my chronic pain with multiple techniques: manipulation, spinal decompression, vitamins and supplements, exercise and stretching. His hands-on approach and love of his work is reflected by the excellent results he gets.

I continue to send my friends, family and patients to Dr. Donath because I know he gets results.”

Dr. Pankaj Jain—Pediatric Cardiologist New York, NY “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.”

Dr. Eugene Dinkevich MD—Division of General Pediatrics SUNY Downstate Medical Center Brooklyn, NY “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.”

Dr. Harold Weissman, MD Ophthalmic Surgeon Lenox Hill Hospital New York, NY “My wife actually went to Dr. Donath before I did. She was experiencing terrible neck pain and literally could not move her neck in any direction without excruciating pain. It was so bad that initially she was unable to drive herself to Dr. Donath’s office. After only two spinal decompression treatments

by Dr. Donath, she was able to resume driving. Following a few weeks of treatment, she was pain free and her range of motion was back to normal. A few years later, I started having arm and elbow pain. I tweaked something in my arm while working out and anti-inflammatory medication and pain killers did not help. The problem affected my ability to function as an eye surgeon. I saw Dr. Donath who diagnosed my condition as lateral epicondylitis (more commonly known as tennis elbow). He treated me utilizing Active Release Techniques and I improved almost immediately. He also gave me numerous exercises to do at home.

After three visits to his office, my pain was completely gone. I highly recommend Dr. Donath to my family, friends, and patients who experience any sort of musculoskeletal pain.

In the U.S., someone has a stroke every 40 seconds, and it’s the fourth leading cause of death in the nation.

But the American Stroke Association reminds us there’s good news too – that in many cases, strokes are preventable, beatable and treatable.

And since May is American Stroke Awareness Month, it’s an ideal time to be reminded that, by knowing the signs of a stroke and taking quick action if a stroke does occur, many lives can be saved.

May also marks National Physical Education & Sports Week (it launches on May 1) to highlight the dedicated phys ed educators and others sports leaders who encourage kids to exercise and stay active.

This issue also looks at the important work of urgent care facilities; we also offer a directory of some of the region’s spas and their popular services.

Finally, we pause to salute moms on Mother’s Day. The holiday also launches National Women’s Health Week, an annual event spearheaded by the federal Department of Health and Human Services.

Its goal: to inform and empower women to make their health a lifelong priority.

We’re always eager to hear from you – please share your comments, questions, and suggestions about what you’d like to see in future issues of Healthcare News.

Regular physical activity is good for everyone

Regular physical activity is good for everyone’s health, and people of all ages and body types can be physically active. National Physical Fitness and Sports Month is a great time to spread the word about the benefits of getting active.

Here are just a few benefits of physical activity: • Children and adolescents – Physical activity can improve muscular fitness, bone health, and heart health.

• Adults – Physical activity can lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.

• Older adults – Physical activity can lower the risk of falls and improve cognitive functioning (like learning and judgment skills).

Communities, health professionals, and families can work together to create opportunities for everyone to get more physical activity.

How can National Physical Fitness and Sports Month make a difference?

We can use this month to raise awareness about the benefits of physical activity — and spread the word about fun ways to get moving!

Here are just a few ideas: • Encourage families to make small changes, like taking a walk after dinner or going for a bike ride.

• Motivate teachers and administrators to make physical activity a part of every student’s day.

• Identify youth leaders in the community who can talk to their peers about the importance of being active.

The law firm of Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, PC, achieves impressive results for clients in the areas of elder law, trusts and estates

Ely J. Rosenzveig and his son, Ariel, are proud to lead a respected elder law firm in White Plains serving families throughout the tri-state area.

However, the family feel extends past father and son. The law firm of Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, P.C treats every client like family.

“My dad and I are very involved in our clients’ lives, especially during difficult times,” Ariel Rosenzveig said. “We become close to them and we enjoy the relationships that we build. We value those relationships and are always attentive to our clients to help them with all of their needs. We take special pride in being there for our clients and their families through thick and thin.”

Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates practices in all areas of elder law, including trust and estate planning, administration, and litigation, tax counsel, asset protection and special needs planning, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security disability benefits, guardianships, long term care planning, Medicaid spousal recovery claims, and Medicaid lien resolutions.

Father and son pride themselves on an unyielding commitment to the advocacy of their clients’ interests. Estate planning is one of the most important steps any person can take to make sure that their final property and health care wishes are honored, and that loved ones are provided for in their absence. A comprehensive estate plan can resolve a number of legal questions that arise whenever anyone dies.

The firm has achieved impressive results for clients on a host of Medicaid related issues, from getting Medicaid approvals for coverage of home care and institutional care benefits, to very accommodative resolutions of Medicaid spousal recovery claims, where the office of Medicaid aggressively pursues a claim for reimbursement for Medicaid benefits provided from the non-institutionalized (i.e., or “community”) spouse.

“Our firm has a thorough understanding of Medicaid and the experience to advocate aggressively and effectively for you and your family,” said Ely Rosenzveig, who has been an attorney for nearly thirty (30) years. “It is very rewarding work and we work tirelessly for our clients.”

Elder law is very important. Appropriate estate and asset-protection planning can help preserve assets, reduce taxes, and help individuals qualify for Medicaid.

As you or your loved one grows older, the quality of care you receive becomes increasingly important. At some point, it becomes necessary to make plans for the future to make sure that your needs and desires are met.

When this time comes, it is important to enlist the experience of Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, so the process of planning for the future is stress-free for your family.

This can be critical in the process of maintaining the well-being of you or your loved one.

At Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, father and son have the opportunity to help clients plan across the span of many years. Often, it leads to advising multiple generations of the family, which Ely and Ariel Rosenzveig find rewarding. Over the course of time, they help clients as their lives and needs change, from naming the guardians of their minor children in their Wills, to planning for retirement, to protecting assets when in need of a skilled nursing facility or home care.

Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates builds a relationship with clients, which is built upon years of assisting them, often in difficult times in their lives, and helping them move beyond those times and provide them with peace of mind and financial security.

Our firm is certainly proud to build these types of relationships with families such as yours.

How to Lower Medical Bills before Service is Rendered and you Pay for it

Health insurance coverage requires contracts between insurance companies, employers, employees, private individuals, as well as, state and federal governments. The Affordable Care Act, which covers 20 million people, limits the wiggle room companies have when crafting these contractual agreements.

The contractual limitations trigger protections for long-term care, coverage for preexisting conditions, dependent coverage until age 26, as well as, restricting usage caps and preventative care cost sharing. Another facet of the ACA is an individual mandate. The mandate requires all Americans to have health coverage and is enforced with a tax if an individual does not maintain health care coverage and makes over a certain income. As Congress works to repeal the ACA the Executive Branch, through executive order, is working to dismantle the

effect of “any provision…that would impose a fiscal burden on any State, or cost, fee, tax, penalty, or regulatory burden on an individual.”

The order also further stipulates that the Administrative Procedure Act will be followed, leading to a long gradual deregulation of the ACA. Navigating carrier contractual allowances and limitations of medical costs does not have to be sickening, especially after reading Solved! Curing Your Medical Insurance Problems (Outskirts Press) and taking action using the tips given to lower medical bills. According to Andrew Fitch, the Product Manager at Nerd Wallet “This is a must-read for anyone who’s felt lost, angry, or confused after receiving a medical bill.” There are steps that the insured can take before paying a medical bill to lower costs.

Emergency Room or Urgent Care: Where should I go?

When to go to the Emergency Room First and foremost, the ER is meant for true emergencies and is equipped for nearly any type of medical emergency. Emergency rooms are found at most hospitals and they are typically open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Emergency rooms can handle trauma, x-rays, surgical procedures, and other life threatening situations.

If you have a true emergency go to your nearest ER or call 911.

While the ER can help care for any medical situation, it comes at a steep price. The ER costs an average of three times more than a visit to the urgent care. In a non-life threatening situation, you can most likely be treated at an urgent care.

When to go to Urgent Care Did you know the wait time for a typical visit to the emergency room in New York can sometimes take a few hours and carry a high price tag? It's true! Visiting an urgent care center is a great alternative where you will be treated quickly while saving money.

Most urgent care centers are equipped to handle non-life threatening situations that you can typically find at your doctor's office. Most urgent care centers are open late and on weekends and holidays. A true urgent care center will be staffed with doctors and nurses who have access to x-ray and a lab onsite.

When you need immediate care but you do not have time to see your doctor, urgent care can help you with common conditions. source: www.cigna.com

Visit the ER for care when you experience any of the following:

allergic reactions to food, animal or bug bites broken bones chest pain constant vomiting continuous bleeding severe shortness of breath deep wounds weakness or pain in a leg or arm head injuries unconsciousness Go to Urgent Care with common conditions like:

flu and cold coughs and sore throat high fevers vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain cuts and severe scrapes broken bones minor injuries and burns sports injuries and more

New, state-of-the-art main concourse to connect Westchester Medical Center Main Tower to future Ambulatory Care Pavilion

Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), recently unveiled a new, contemporary main concourse to greet patients and visitors to the region’s advanced care medical center.

The new main concourse, now an important extension of the hospital’s care-giving environment, is a functional crossroads that will eventually connect Westchester Medical Center and the future 280,000-square-foot Ambulatory Care Pavilion currently under construction on WMCHealth’s Valhalla campus. The eight-story Ambulatory Care Pavilion, the largest healthcare construction project in Westchester County since the construction of Westchester Medical Center’s main tower in 1977, is slated for completion in 2018.

The main concourse more than doubles the size of Westchester Medical Center’s former main lobby, offering a beautiful, soothing environment for community members who visit the hospital.

The 13,200-square-foot concourse, replete with stainless-steel accents, tri-colored terrazzo floors,

Members of the leadership team and staff from departments across Westchester Medical Center joined Michael Israel, WMCHealth President and CEO, in cutting a ceremonial ribbon to open to main concourse.

carefully curated art, energy efficient lighting, and coordinated colors and textures, welcomes guest through the front doors of Westchester Medical Center. Warming lamps and an outdoor waterfall wall greet visitors as they drive up to the valet station.

WMC’s new 13,200-square-foot main concourse is now officially open.

Five donated rainbow-colored screenprints from Andy Warhol’s Endangered Species series turn the main concourse into an art gallery for guests to enjoy between tests and appointments.

With the new main concourse came the addition of a new boutique-style gift shop, a fully renovated Au Bon Pain Bakery and Café, and a 1,800-square-foot Caregiver Center.

The private, dedicated Caregiver Center provides a retreat for family members to access advocacy services, and emotional and spiritual support through Westchester Medical Center’s Caregiver Program while their loved ones receive care at the hospital. The center offers amenities like computers, showers, wireless and mobile device charging stations, and information on local resources.

Refreshments and other amenities like yoga and reiki therapy are also offered.

As the region’s advanced care medical center and Level I trauma center, approximately 50 percent of patients and visitors who arrive at the hospital on any given day do so in an emergency situation. The new main concourse and Caregiver Center – along with facilities like the Trauma Intensive Care Unit’s Evan Lieberman Friends and Family Lounge unveiled last year – are examples of WMCHealth’s commitment not only to providing the highest quality care to patients in our region, but also to supporting their loved ones.

The main concourse also features Sabbath entry doors next to the main vestibule, as well as Sabbath bathroom fixtures for observant members of the community.

St. Anthony’s Hospital wins Heart Trophy

Healthcare News - Westchester May, 2017

The American Heart Association Heart Walk 2016 “Hospital Cup” is currently on display at St. Anthony’s Community Hospital after winning a friendly competition which challenged local hospital staff, patients and their families to support the mission of the American Heart Association (AHA). St. Anthony Community Hospital in Warwick is a Member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network.

The Hospital Cup is presented annually by the AHA to the hospital that raises the most funds to fight heart disease and stroke through participation in the TriCounty Heart Walk. This year’s hospital competitors included St. Anthony’s, Orange Regional Medical Center, and St Luke’s Cornwall Hospital.

For the May 2016 Heart Walk event, St. Anthony’s recruited employees, friends and family members to walk and raise money to support the AHA’s heart disease awareness and prevention programs as well as life-saving heart and stroke research.

“Thousands of heart and stroke patients are treated and cared for at regional hospitals, so local hospital staff members are committed to supporting American Heart Association prevention programs and research to improve the lives of their neighbors,” said JoAnn Parker, AHA Heart Walk Director.

Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans and stroke is number five. Heart disease is the number one killer of women, too--it kills more women than all forms of cancer combined. And congenital cardiovascular defects are the most common cause of infant death from birth defects. Thankfully, more than 80% of heart disease incidence can be prevented with simple lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, eating healthier and walking 30 minutes most days of the week.

“St. Anthony Community Hospital is honored to accept the Hospital Cup award,” said Barbara Demundo, Director of Community Outreach, Bon Secours Charity Health System.

“We are proud to partner with the American Heart Association on the continued fight against heart disease.”

This year’s Heart Walk is set for Sunday, May 7th at Harriman State Park. Registration is open online at www.tricountheartwalk.org. Events like the Heart Walk get people walking as part of the AHA’s year-round Healthy For Good campaign to create a culture of health at home, at work and in the community. The funds raised from the Heart Walk support lifesaving programs and research.

The AHA is the largest non-governmental source of cardiovascular research funding in the U.S. For team and sponsor information, please call Jo Ann Parker, Heart Walk Director at 845-542-4580.

The Heart Walk is sponsored nationally by Subway, and locally by Healthy For Good Sponsor, Orange Regional Medical Center. Local sponsors include HOLT Construction, St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital, Orange Bank & Trust, NicePak – PDI, Active International, Cardinal Health, Crystal Run Healthcare, M &T Bank, Highland Medical and Nyack Hospital.

Media sponsors include: AJ Ross Media, Rock City Media, Hudson Valley Magazine and Mix 97.7.

About the American Heart Association The American Heart Association is devoted to saving people from heart disease and stroke – the two leading causes of death in the world.

We team with millions of volunteers to fund innovative research, fight for stronger public health policies, and provide lifesaving tools and

Fifth Annual Pinewood Derby at Cerebral Palsy of Westchester

For the fifth year in a row the Pinewood Derby came to Cerebral Palsy of Westchester on March 31, 2017 courtesy of the Mid-Westchester Elks and Boy Scouts of America. This was the third year the Girl Scouts Troop 1902 participated in the race. The Boy and Girl Scouts built their cars which were fast and furious equipped to race the day of the event. The cars were decorated over the past month and were ready to race them down the official Pinewood Derby Track. There were many races and the kids were jumping in excitement waiting to hear the official winner. The top three winners were chosen, and everyone was eager to receive their metals.

After the Girl and Boy Scouts finished their races, Jay Singer hosted the last challenge. Girls against boys. The official winners from the Girl Scouts must race the official winner of the Boy Scouts. The race was best out of three with the Girl Scouts winning. Everyone was excited by the end of the races and some jumped for joy when grabbing their trophy!

The first Pinewood DerbyÂŽ was held in 1953.

It was the brainchild of Cubmaster Donald Murphy. The derby, publicized in Boys' Life in Octo-

ber 1954, was an instant and enduring hit. The magazine offered plans for the track and car, which featured "four wheels, four nails, and three blocks of wood." The rules of the very first race stated: "The Derby is run in heats - two to four cars starting by gravity from a standstill on a track and run down a ramp to a finish line unaided. The track is an inclined ramp with wood strips down the center to guide the cars." The cars still roll that way today.

For over 65 years, Cerebral Palsy of Westchester has been the leading non-profit organization in Westchester County, providing essential services to children and adults with all developmental disabilities including autism, neurological impairments, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. It has always been our purpose to help people realize their goals, build brighter futures, and lead more independent lives as members of their community.

Disability Insurance for Business Partnerships

By Andrew J. Cavaliere, CLTC

Most successful business owners insure themselves against property damage, liabilities arising from lawsuits and premature death. In my 24 years of consulting, I have found very few clients actually insure themselves against the possibility of being unable to work due to illness or injury. More importantly, even fewer business partners ever insure each other in case one of them becomes seriously disabled for any extended period of time. The truth of the matter is, statistically, a man is seven times more likely to become disabled while working than die prematurely, this according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Individual Disability Tables.

What does this mean to you the business owner? It means that one day you may have to write an enormous check in order to buy out your partner’s interest in your business. Do you have the deep pockets necessary to write a check big enough to buy out your partner? Or will you have to borrow the funds with considerable interest at the most inopportune time, possibly using your house as collateral? If you do not come to terms with your partner’s financial entitlement, you will undoubtedly end up in court. We have all seen the results of this unfortunate scenario many times before and it always ends up the same way. The dissolution of the company and devastating financial consequences for all involved.

Consider the following facts: •

• • •

Only 1 in 4 Americans own disability insurance1

One half of Americans with disabilities are between the ages of 18 and 642

2.

3.

More than 37 million Americans are classified as disabled

Personal Income – the disabled partner needs to maintain income so they can pay their bills, rents, mortgage, insurance premiums and basic family needs.

Business Expense – if one partner is disabled, how will this event effect the business profitability? Will the business be able to continue making money and paying the bills?

Business Continuity – if the disabled business owner never recovers, is there a financial mechanism in place to fund the buy-out of his or her shares?

The good news is that many of the largest insurance companies in the world offer guaranteed disability products to help business partners mitigate these risks of becoming prematurely disabled. Just like life insurance, these products allow business owners to take the liability off the table and leverage themselves for simply pennies on the dollar.

1.

2.

3.

Individual Disability Income Insurance (IDI) – provides a monthly tax-free benefit to replace your income if you are unable to perform the regular duties of your occupation.

Business Overhead Expense Insurance (BOE) – provides a monthly benefit to reimburse the owner for normal business expenses incurred for up to 24 months including rent and the salaries of office staff.

Business Buy-Out Insurance (DBO) – provides either a monthly or lump sum benefit tax-free to the disabled partner to facilitate the buy-out of shares in the business.

Do you have a business partner or do you have equity in a business with multiple owners? Do you have a properly structured buy-sell agreement to protect your family’s interest in case you or one of your partners become permanently disabled? Do you have enough disability insurance that will protect your income in the event you can no longer earn a living? Call us today if you would like additional information about any of these essential disability insurance products.

“Back Pain Technology Cheats Mother Nature

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

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-so-ever… 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: • FDA cleared!

• Proven safe and effective!

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

• 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 alof ready helps thousands 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 nonsurgical 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 April 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 April 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 April a call at 914259-8104 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
