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

“Back Pain TechnologyCheats 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 hasmade all of our lives better… and easier. Just about every miraculous medical

cure and comfort of modern living can beattributed to amazing breakthroughs intechnology. Heck, laser eye surgery can give people

who are almost as blind as a bat perfect20/20 vision. How amazing is that?That’s why it’s no surprise that technol-

ogy might be able to solve your back andneck pain from herniated/bulging discs orsciatica…for good.

Here is why: Back and neck pain can bedevastating. And nothing is worse thangoing to doctor after doctor… trying treat-ment after treatment… spending moneyyou can’t afford… and still suffering inpain. 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 forthe rest of your life? Well, that might NOT be so easy. But,

what if there was a wonderful advance-ment in technology that, with a handful ofsimple, non-invasive treatments, couldpossibly have you out of pain and on yourway to healing naturally?Better yet, what if this technology could

possibly heal your herniated/bulging discs(instead of cutting it out like surgery) soyou have the best chance to live pain-freeand do all the things you want and love todo?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 anddangerous side effects of surgery!3 Relieves pain fast… in some cases in as little as 25 minutes!

Well, guess what? There is such tech-nology and there is a very good chance itcan help you… like it has already helpsthousands of herniated/bulging disc andsciatica 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, com-pressive forces cause your spinal bones tocome together… basically squashing yourdisc. The space in between your bones de-creases and the soft, jello-like disc materialleaks out. This disc material that leaks out is

called a herniated disc and can cause se-vere pain, numbness and tingling in yourneck, back, arms or legs when the hernia-tion pushes into and “pinches” a nerve.So it makes sense, if you could slightly pull

the spinal bones apart… that would open upthe space, take the pressure off the disc, thedisc off the nerve and solve the problem.Right? But the only problem is… how do youdo that? For years and years, doctors havebeen 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 isinjured and when you try to move, your mus-cles go into spasm. Spasm is your body’sway of trying to protect you from causing fur-ther injury. That’s why traction hurts so much.As soon as the traction starts… your musclesoverprotect the area and spasm.

But the good news is: Now there istechnology that out-smarts your body’snatural spasm reaction. In other words: Itfools mother nature!This technology is called non-surgical

spinal decompression (NSSD) and here’show it works… NSSD is very different from plain trac-

tion because it has advanced computer tech-nology that actually senses your spinalmuscles. When it starts to gently pull, it im-mediately knows when your muscles startto contract and it stops pulling. As soon asyour muscles relax, it starts pulling again.

The amazing thing is: the computersenses your muscles contraction soearly… you don’t even feel what is goingon. Which means you never feel any pain!In fact, the only thing most patients feelis… RELIEF!!!

But the best part is: NSSD is able togently separate your spinal bones which,in many cases, actually sucks the herni-ated disc material back into the disc whereit belongs! This takes away your pain andallows your herniated and bulging discs toheal naturally!

And check this out: Treatments arepleasant and simple. All you have to do islie on your back, listen to your favoritemusic, read a magazine… or… take a nap!The wonderful technology does everythingwhile you simply RELAX the pain away!

To sum up NSSD:• For most patients it is 100% pain-

less…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 havethe dangerous risks of surgery!• Gets to the root cause of the prob-

lem 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 1241 MamaroneckAve. right here in White Plains, NY who hasinvested hundreds of thousands of dollarsin this wonderful technology and has beentreating herniated/bulging disc and sciaticapatients with incredible success.His name is Dr. Jonathan Donath DC,

MS and he is so excited about the resultshe’s been getting, he would like to share itwith 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 amajority of the patients Dr. Donath hastreated… it is not a wonder cure and itdoes not help everyone.

For that reason, Dr. Donath does a com-plete examination on every potential pa-tient and only accepts you if he feels youare most likely to get the pain relief andoutcome 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 isoffering the first 17 people who respond tothis article a free consultation and NSSDqualification examination. And if you qualify for NSSD treatments,

Dr. Donath will also give you one treatmentfor FREE! And if you do not qualify, Dr. Do-nath will help you find the best option foryou.That’s why, if you suffer with pain from

a herniated/bulging disc or sciatica youshould call 914-259-8104 right now. WhenBarbara answers the phone, simply tell heryou would like your free non-surgicalspinal decompression consultation and ex-amination. If you are one of the first 17,she will schedule you within the next fewdays.

Your consultation and examinationshould take about 60 minutes.

Why Limited To 17?Dr. Donath has limited the number he

will accept right now to 17 because hedoes not believe patients should wait andthey should also get the quality personalattention they deserve. When you go for your free visit, I’m

sure you will see how unique and pleas-ant the experience is. It’s nice to betreated like a person and not a numberor based on insurance coverage. It’salso nice to know exactly what’s causingyour pain and how to relieve it as fast aspossible. Dr. Donath’s favorite cases arethe one’s that were able to cancel backsurgery after only a handful of treat-ments.Dr. Donath also loves when a herniated

disc patient that is in excruciating pain andthinks they’ve tried everything, lays downon the NSSD table, takes a 25 minutenap… and… wakes up with all their painGONE!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 ener-

gized… ready to take on the brand newday – without the pain and stiffness thathas been terrorizing you.And imagine finally knowing you

have the solution to your herniated discpain.Well, you may not have to just “imagine”

anymore… because… NSSD might startrelieving your pain… in just 25 minutes!So, if you’d like to see if you qualify and

School crisis intervention aid Carla Leonard had grown

to hate one part of her morning routine: Bumping her

head on the automated external defibrillator (AED)

located behind her desk at Brookside Elementary School

in Ossining.

Leonard even petitioned the principal to have it moved

farther from her desk. On this day, back in February of

2006, she was speaking to her boss about having the AED

moved.

That’s when Leonard experienced what felt like “a

brain freeze to the chest” during the morning pledge. She

went into sudden cardiac arrest and, at one point, Leonard

flatlined. However, Leonard’s school had a medical emer-

gency response plan in place.

As a result, school nurse Alice Habina quickly started

CPR and used the AED before the volunteer EMT de-

partment arrived, saving Leonard’s life.

“It’s kind of ironic that I asked to have the defibrillator

moved,” Leonard said. “I don’t know what it was, an

angel, but someone was telling me it wasn’t my time to

go. This is my second chance. Before this, at the store, I

would leave my dollar for the American Heart Associa-

tion and me out the door. Not anymore. I’m going to make

every effort to tell people about my story and the impor-

tance of heart health.”

Since her brush with death, Leonard, 50, has become an

active spokesperson for the American Heart Association’s

Go Red for Women initiative. The American Heart Asso-

ciation started Go Red for Women seven years ago. At the

time, it faced a challenge: Cardiovascular disease claimed

the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet

women were not paying attention. In fact, many even dis-

missed it as an “older man’s disease”, but it is preventable.

Leonard, who lives in Yonkers, works as an Ameri-

can Heart Association volunteer to advance legislation

for school nutrition guidelines and funding for healthy

heart and tobacco-control programs. She has also at-

tended numerous You’re the Cure D.C. Lobby Days

and advocated for increased funding for NIH research.

Leonard, who has since retired, now stays active by

walking because she knows that fitness is important for

good heart health.

According to Leonard, she never illustrated the “clas-

sic signs” that sometimes define heart issues. She con-

sidered herself healthy. However, tests revealed her body

couldn’t produce or retain potassium. Leonard said that

led to her issues. She now takes regular doses of potas-

sium and had a defibrillator inserted into her chest.

Leonard sees a cardiologist regularly.

“Know your numbers like you know your shoe size,”

Leonard said. “ If I need to, I’ll shout it from the rooftops

and wear bells to get people to pay attention.”

To dispel the myths and raise awareness about heart

disease as the number one killer of women, the American

Heart Association created Go Red For Women – a pas-

sionate, emotional, social initiative designed to empower

women to take charge of their heart health. In 2010, the

American Heart Association set a strategic goal of reduc-

ing death and disability from cardiovascular disease and

strokes by 20 percent while improving the cardiovascular

health of all Americans by 20 percent by the year 2020.

“My experience was life-changing,” Leonard said.

“I’ve been blessed and I will go anywhere to tell my story.

I was lucky. I am lucky.”

FACTS ABOUT WOMEN & HEART DISEASE

- Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, taking over 420,000 lives every year.

- Cardiovascular disease causes ONE in THREE deaths in women.

- Women are dying at the rate of one per minute because they don’t know that heart disease kills.

- More women die of heart disease than the next four causes of death combined, including allforms of cancer. In fact, one in three American women die of cardiovascular diseases, comparedto one in 30 women who die of breast cancer.

-90% of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease.

*CVD IS PREVENTABLE: One study found that if women adhere to five healthy lifestyle choicesinvolving diet, exercise, and non-smoking, 83 percent of coronary events may be prevented.

Anyone in Westchester County looking for a pitch woman? Meet Carla Leonard.

Leonard is already booked, working for the American Heart Association. Her fee?

It’s on the house.

Leonard is a volunteer, she wouldn’t have it any other way. She just wants to tell her story

to the masses.

Years ago, working as a school crisis intervention aid, Leonard went into sudden cardiac

arrest. Her life was saved by school nurse Alice Habina, who quickly started CPR and used

an automated external defibrillator.

Realizing she wanted to pay it forward was a defining moment for Carla, who works as

an American Heart Association volunteer to advance legislation for school nutrition

guidelines and funding for healthy heart and tobacco-control programs. She has also

attended numerous You’re the Cure D.C. Lobby Days and advocated for increased

funding for NIH research.

February is National Heart Month. According to the American Heart Association

(AHA), while heart disease and stroke kill one in every 3.7 men, one in 2.4 women lose their lives to heart

disease and stroke – the no. 1 and no. 3 killers of women. By way of comparison, breast cancer kills one in 29 women.

Leonard, 50, feisty and vivacious, is always up to telling her story. We at Healthcare News are proud to tell it in this edition.

INTRODUCTION

Snoring and Sleep Apnea are common conditions in our society today. They arecaused by a narrowing or collapse of the airway during sleep. Snoring or sleep apneaappliances are devices that are worn in the mouth during sleep that are designed toreposition the lower jaw so that the airway is supported in such a way that air canflow more freely. This reduces or eliminates snoring and can treat your sleep apnea,which can lead to a more quiet, restful night’s sleep.

CAUSES OF SNORING

70-90 million people are affected by snoring. Snoring can occur when the airway becomes partially blocked during sleep. This may occur more frequently when:

� You sleep on your back� You are overweight� You have a large neck size� The tongue falls back into the throat� The tonsils and/or adenoids are large� You mouth breathe during sleep� You are overly tired� You eat or drink alcohol too late at night� You have a cold or are congested

Snoring becomes more common:� As we get older� If you are a male� After menopause� If you have a small airway (may be genetic)

WHAT IS SLEEP APNEA?

Sleep Apnea is estimated to affect 20 million people. Sleep Apnea occurs when the airway becomes completely blocked and air is not able to move through theairway. This is commonly called Obstructive Sleep Apnea because the airway is totally obstructed. This obstruction may occur anywhere from the area of the softpalate down to below the tongue. When the airway is obstructed, the patient willawaken many times during the night with a cough or gasping sound as the bodyattempts to restore normal breathing.

SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS

The most common symptoms and signs of Sleep Apnea:� Snoring� Non-refreshing sleep� Daytime fatigue or tiredness� History of falling asleep driving, watching TV, or reading� Awaken during sleep coughing, choking, or gasping� Morning headaches� Elevated blood pressure� Cardiovascular disease

Other commonly occurring findings associated with Snoring and Sleep Apnea:� Gastric reflux or acid reflux with indigestion� Grinding of the teeth during sleep (Bruxism)� Symptoms of depression, anxiety, dementia� Diabetes� Mood swings

The old standby – flowers:

It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without flowers.

However, flowers can also have a positive

impact on her health. Some studies have

shown that people who feel negative early

in the day felt happier and more energetic

after looking at flowers. So cheer up your

significant other’s day by buying her a

bouquet of her favorite flowers.

Order fresh fruit baskets:

Enjoy the juice of ripe oranges, grapefruit and

other fruits when it’s delivered right to your

front door every month. Many companies

offer a mail-order fruit-of-the-month club, and

some even provide an organic fruit option.

Relax with natural products:

Melt away the stress with a gift basket of

natural body care products. Many bath and

body gels, soaps and lotions are steeped in

dangerous chemicals so look for skin and

hair products made from natural ingredients.

You can even find organic options. They’re

great for the body and the environment.

Cook a healthy meal:

Instead of fighting the restaurant crowds on

the most romantic day of the year, set aside

the time to cook your significant other a

healthy and delicious meal. One option?

Grilled salmon and steamed vegetables for

the main course and tiramisu for dessert.

Candlelit, of course.

Workout mix:

Listening to music is a great way to relax.

Music can also have a positive impact on y

our breathing rate and heart rate. Give your

significant other the healthy gift of music by

making him or her a workout mix – or buy a

download credit so they can make their own.

Valentine’s Day is approaching – quickly – so it’s timeto start thinking about what to buy the love of your life.So don’t procrastinate – or you might find yourself, once again, staring down a drug store aisle – leaving with a heart-shaped box of chocolates. No, that’s not going to cut it. Just like she told you last year.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to indulge your sweetheart with gifts. Indulging doesn’t always have to involve chocolates or lingerie. You could always give the lingerie a shot.

Anyway…Why not try some healthy gifts? Your significant other will love them.

We promise!

continued on next page

Visit the spa:

Spend the day with your

sweetheart relaxing at a

nearby spa. Enjoy a

couple’s massage, sweat

off the toxins in a steam

bath and end the day

drinking herbal tea while

appreciating each other’s

company.

Gym date:

In order for to put that

workout mix to good use,

you need to work out.

Look for a gym that’s

offering a couple’s workout

on that day or come up

with your own exercise

routine. Or, just spend

some time outdoors by

hiking, swimming or

biking together. Spending

time together is the best

way to show your loved

one you care.

Provide ongoing

healthy meals:

Bond in the kitchen with

the gift of a steamer, a

variety of fun spices and a

brand new cookbook to

inspire many healthy meals

throughout the year.

Maybe buy your Valentine

a sampling of wines to

enjoy together over

appetizers or meals.

Go to the chiropractor:

Give the gift of whole-body

wellness when you treat

your other half to a visit

with the chiropractor.

And if you’ve been feeling

a bit stressed lately, it may

not be a bad idea to treat

yourself as well.

The Importance of Temporary RestorationsBy Edward Feinberg DMD

ASK AN EXPERT

Temporary restorations are an essentialingredient for the successful outcome ofcrown and bridge restorative dentistry.They must exist 24 hours a day underwater, under forces in an environmentthat is loaded with bacteria. They mustbe custom-made at chairside out ofmaterials that cannot withstand theseassaults for more than a few months.Temporary restorations must be re-tentive, but easily removed for try-inappointments. As a result they must beused in conjunction with cements thatusually degrade their integrity.

Temporary restorations serve manyfunctions:

1. Cover and Protect the Teeth. Thetemporary restorations must protectthe teeth against the ravages of salivaand ingested foods and beverages.Unprotected teeth are pre-disposed todecay and sensitivity. Prolonged sensi-tivity can result in emergency rootcanal therapy.

2. Control Periodontal Health. Tem-porary restorations must create idealperiodontal health so that the mouthcan receive dentistry that will last inhealth. It is critically important thattemporaries cover tooth structureexactly without overhanging exten-sions that can insult the tissues.Proper contact areas between teethprevent food impaction and damage.

3. Architectural Improvement. Thetemporary restorations are the blue-prints for making the final restorations.A patient who wears a temporary thatfunctions properly with ideal dimen-sions and jaw relationships will easilyaccept the final restorations in comfort.Permanent dentistry is not somethinga patient should have to “get used to.”It should be immediately comfortable.Any changes are best accomplishedwith the temporary restorations, first.

4. Patient Appreciation. Temporaryrestorations are patients’ first real“impression” of the operator’s treatmentand skill. In emphasizing the importance

It is impossible to know how manyvisits are required for ideal restorativedentistry. Permanent dentistry ismade indirectly from materials thatmust be repeatedly heated at or closeto their melting points to tolerancesmeasured in tenths of millimeters. Itis no wonder that error commonlyoccurs. However, a meticulousdoctor makes sure that each step iscorrect before proceeding to the nextstep. When extra visits are required,patients should understand. Theyshould be happy that their doctor isleaving no stone unturned to givethem the best possible result.

Two-visit crown and bridge oftenignores errors, and it may “go on”, butnot really fit. That it can be done wellin only two visits is usually too good tobe true. “We always hope for the easyfix: the one simple change that willerase a problem in a stroke” saysDr. Atul Gawande, the famous medicalauthor of Better. “But few things inlife work this way. Instead, successrequires making a hundred small stepsgo right”.

The ability for a practitioner to be hisown worst critic; that is, to look at hisown work with the most critical eyes–is one of the most difficult challengespractitioners face. Patients are count-ing on their doctors to do right by them,and there is no way for them to judgewhat is really happening. Practitionersshould never violate their trust byrationalizing an error to be acceptable;that a poor result is the best they can do.

of teeth, a practitioner is only credible ifpatients always leave the office withteeth. A good practitioner ensures thatpatients leave the office better than whenthey walked in. One of the best rewardsof dental practice is the thrill and appre-ciation of patients on seeing immediateimprovement at their very first visit.

5. Patient Confidence in the Doctorand his Treatment. Patients' faith inthe practitioner and his treatment canhave a significant effect on the ultimateoutcome. Happy patients will cooperateto the fullest, and believe in the treat-ment. However, patients who enduretemporaries that continually dislodge,cause discomfort, detract from overallappearance and negatively affectself-image may lose confidence inthe practitioner. When this happens,patients may view even the most beau-tiful case as a failure because of whatthey had “to go through”.

Practitioners who spend the leastamount of time on temporaries arereally trying to minimize the number ofvisits and save money. Most practi-tioners are trained to equate time withmoney. They have an allotted time toaccomplish a procedure and there is acost per hour to perform that proce-dure. Therefore they must finish thatprocedure in the allotted time. However,there is a great deal of differencebetween short-range time and long-range time. Extra time spent doingthings right in the short run will definitelysave time in the long run. As authorJack Bergman says, “there's neverenough time to do it right, but there'salways enough time to do it over.”

Bacteria are nanometers in size, soonly one small error is all that isneeded to compromise the success ofthe entire case; to make all the differ-ence between dentistry that lasts oneyear and dentistry that lasts twenty.

Sometimes patients must wear tempo-rary restorations for long periods oftime. If they have substantial damage,clenching, grinding or neuromusculardiscomfort, the temporary phase oftreatment may require a substantialperiod of appliance therapy to correctthese abnormalities and establishcomfort and proper function. Severalsets of temporaries can help patientsbetter adjust gradually to a new bite ordental architecture. When temporaryrestorations must be worn for a longperiod of time, they are best made withcopper bands or thin copings of metalso that the temporaries fit just like theirpermanent counterparts. Temporariesmade in this way do not fall out and aredesigned like Mason Jars--the bestknown method of preserving everdevised--to prevent decay. Onceproper structure, function and comforthave been established in temporaryrestorations, it is clear how the finalrestorations should be made, so that apredictable result is designed ratherthan left to chance or guesswork.

Time spent with temporary restorationsis definitely time well-spent, becauseit is a learning experience. When ameticulous doctor hand-carves tempo-raries to ideal shape and form, he isreally thinking about how he wantsto make the permanent restorations.It's somewhat like being Alice inWonderland. “Well if you don’t knowwhere you want to go”, asks Alice, “how will you know when you getthere”?

Why should I have a lawyer prepare my will?

If you die without a Will, the law, not you, determines how your assets are divided and to whom they are

given. A poorly drafted Will may result in a sizeable chunk of your assets not ending up where you want

them to go. We are an experienced law firm that can expertly craft your will to address your long-term care,

tax, estate planning, and asset protection planning issues. It is in your best interest that planning be done

properly so as to minimize the tax burden on your estate.

Our experience and skill in the fields of Trusts, Wills, and Estates enables our firm to uniquely tailor estate

planning to your individual needs. We will review your entire estate and draft a personalized plan that will

best direct the disposition of your assets after death, whether through your Will, or by means of testamentary

substitutes (trusts, joint-asset ownership with right of survivorship, or by beneficiary designation in life

insurance policies, annuities, or individual retirement accounts).

The law firm of Ely J. Rosenzveig & Associates, P.C. practices in all aspects 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, spousal recovery claims, and Medicaid lien resolutions.

Why should I spend money hiring attorneys to do asset protection planning for me and my loved ones?

Currently, the monthly cost for nursing home care in New York ranges between $10,000-$15,000, and properly certified home health attendants (nurse aides) can cost as much

or more for round- the-clock home care. Statistically, it is likely that most people will need either or both of these care options as they grow older. It is critical that you

plan appropriately to best minimize the strain that elder care costs may have on your estate, and to help put you in the best position possible to qualify for benefits that are

largely covered by the government, under Medicare or Medicaid.

Our firm has attorneys with extensive experience in developing tax-effective action plans for our clients that help protect their assets from government imposition. We have

also been very successful in negotiating the complex bureaucratic minefield in which Medicaid is now mired. We have achieved remarkable results for our clients on a host

of Medicaid related issues, from obtaining 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 the non-institutionalized (i.e., or “community”) spouse for Medicaid benefits provided.

My father is having difficulty caring for himself. I am afraid he will no longer

be able to live on his own. I am worried about finding the money to pay for

his care, whether he stays at home or moves to an assisted living facility or

Your concerns are certainly daunting, and heart-rending. Our firm offers you a caring hand, an open ear, and

uncompromising professional competence, and commitment. We will help find for you solutions that best

suit your needs, using the latest tax, trust, and other asset protection strategies available under the law.

February is American Heart Month: Why is it so important? Let’s take a look at the facts

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of disability.

The most common heart disease in the United States is coronary heart disease, which often appears as a heart attack. In 2010, an estimated 785,000

Americans had a new coronary attack, and about 470,000 had a recurrent attack. About every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event,

and about one every minute will die from one.1

The chance of developing coronary heart disease can be reduced by taking steps to prevent and control factors that put people at greater risk.

Additionally, knowing the signs and symptoms of heart attack are crucial to the most positive outcomes after having a heart attack. People who have

survived a heart attack can also work to reduce their risk of another heart attack or a stroke in the future.

Signs of a heart attack

Some heart attacks are sudden and intense; however,

most heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or

discomfort. Often people affected aren't sure what's

wrong and wait too long before getting help. Here are

signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:

Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort

in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes,

or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like

uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.

Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include

pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.

Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort.

Other signs. These may include breaking out in a cold sweat,

nausea, or lightheadedness.

A guide to a (heart) healthy lifestyle

A healthy diet and lifestyle are the best weapons you

have to fight heart disease. Many people make it harder

than it is. It is important to remember that it is the overall

pattern of the choices you make that counts. As you

make daily food choices, read nutrition labels and base

your eating pattern on these recommendations:

Choose lean meats and poultry without skin and prepare them

without added saturated and trans fat.

Select fat-free, 1% fat, and low-fat dairy products.

Cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils

to reduce trans fat in your diet.

Cut back on foods high in dietary cholesterol. Aim to eat less

than 300 mg of cholesterol each day.

Cut back on beverages and foods with added sugars.

Select and purchase foods lower in salt/sodium.

If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation. That means no more than

one drink per day if you're a woman and two drinks per day

if you're a man.

Keep an eye on your portion sizes.continued on next page

Healthcare News - Westchester February, 2013 PAGE 15Get active! Exercise can decrease heart disease

Here is your guide to make sure you active.

And, remember, there are no excuses.

Exercising is easier than you think.

Walking is the simplest way to start and continue a

fitness journey.

Walking costs nothing to get started.

Walking has the lowest dropout rate of any type

of exercise.

Walking is easy and safe.

It Works

Studies show that for every hour of walking, life ex-

pectancy may increase by two hours.

Walking for as few as 30 minutes a day provides heart

health benefits.

Walking is the single most effective form of exercise to

achieve heart health.

It Pays

Physically active people save $500 a year in healthcare costs.

Employers can save $16 for every $1 they spend on health and wellness.

Fitness programs have reduced employer healthcare costs by 20 - 55%.

Reducing just one health risk in the workplace increases productivity by 9%.

Reducing one health risk decreases absenteeism by 2%.

And walking isn't your only option. Try these tips for increasing physical activity wherever you

are. You may be surprised at all your opportunities to increase your physical activity every day.

Consider carrying this list with you for one day. Check off the ways you notice that you could

increase your physical activity.

Tips for increasing physical activity

At Home

It's convenient, comfortable and safe to work out at home. It allows your children to see you

being active, which sets a good example for them. You can combine exercise with other activities,

such as watching TV. If you buy exercise equipment, it's a one-time expense and other family

members can use it. It's easy to have short bouts of activity several times a day. Try these tips:

Do housework yourself instead of hiring someone else to do it.

Work in the garden or mow the grass. Using a riding mower doesn't count! Rake leaves, prune,

dig and pick up trash.

Go out for a short walk before breakfast, after dinner or both! Start with 5-10 minutes and work up

to 30 minutes.

Walk or bike to the corner store instead of driving.

When walking, pick up the pace from leisurely to brisk.

Choose a hilly route. When watching TV, sit up instead of lying on the sofa.

Or stretch. Better yet, spend a few minutes pedaling on your stationary bicycle

while watching TV. Throw away your video remote control. Instead of asking

someone to bring you a drink, get up off the couch and get it yourself.

Stand up while talking on the telephone.

Walk the dog.

Park farther away at the shopping mall and walk the extra

distance. Wear your walking shoes and sneak in an extra lap or

two around the mall.

Stretch to reach items in high places and squat or bend to

look at items at floor level.

Keep exercise equipment repaired and use it!

Are you living with knee pain?

Up until now, patients experiencing pain in their joints due to early to mid-stage arthritis had to relyon endless pain medications as their only relief. In addition, most would have to wait for the jointdeterioration to advance to late stage before qualifying for a total knee replacement. Now throughMAKOplasy, an innovative partial knee resurfacing treatment option, patients can have the damagedarea of the knee restored WITHOUT the need for a complete joint replacement.

Partial knee resurfacing is a mini-mally invasive procedure poweredby a highly-advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic arm technologythat saves as much of your originalknee as possible while delivering amore rapid recovery and naturalfeeling. This innovative procedurewill have you out of the hospitaland back on your feet within a few days.

Patients take note! St. John’sRiverside Hospital is THE ONLYplace in the tri-state area, asidefrom a few NYC hospitals to offerMAKOplasty Robotic treatment topatients. St. John’s Riverside Hospitalis where you will find the mostadvanced orthopedic care.

You’re going to feel the difference!

George Febles loves to play tennis, swimand go to his weekly Zumba class. Febles is really something, consideringhe’s 72-years-old. Last year, he slowed downa little, needing cortisone shots in his knee.

However, Febles is back in the gamethanks to a revolutionary surgery performed at only one hospital in Westchester County: St. John’s RiversideHospital.

MAKOplasty® partial knee resurfacing isa minimally invasive procedure for thosesuffering with painful early to mid-stageosteoarthritis of the knee. It is performedusing the surgeon-controlled RIO® roboticarm system and offers more accurateresurfacing of the diseased portion of theknee, saving as much of the original kneeas possible.

St. John’s Riverside Hospital is very proud to be the first and only hospital inWestchester County to offer this technology.MAKOplasty benefits the patient. After his surgery, Febles’ pain went awaythe next day, and he was up on his feet.That type of recovery isn’t uncommon.

“I have instituted many innovations during the 16 years I’ve practiced,” said David Lent, a WestchesterCounty orthopedic surgeon who performs the procedure at St. John’s. “There have been advances, but nothing like MAKOplasty. It’s a giantleap forward, something that has increased the precision of surgery andthe level of care.”

MAKOplasty is a minimally invasive partial knee replacement procedurewhich uses a computerized navigation system. The system features RIO®Robotic Arm Interactive System: an interactive robotic arm and visualizationtechnology that allows the surgeon to create a surgical plan. Using an initial CT scan, the technology creates a three-dimensional virtual view of the bone surface.

This virtual view guides the surgeon in how much bone to shave off, and the exact boundaries of that specific, damaged area. It also allows the surgeon to precisely align the implants. This technology will be used tohelp those who have osteoarthritis of the knee.

MAKOplasty may:

. Promote a more rapid relief from pain, shorter hospital stay and quicker return to daily activitieswhen compared to traditional knee replacementsurgery

. Result in a more “natural” feeling knee followingsurgery since it saves more of the original knee

Before surgery, surgeons use the RIO system to pre-operatively plan and map the area(s) of diseased bone to be removed. During surgery,three-dimensional visualization of the knee and therobotic arm provide the surgeon with visual, tactileand auditory feedback so that only the diseasedportion of the knee is resurfaced, sparing healthybone stock and tissue.

“Since I worked on the floor where people come torecover from full knee replacements I was naturallyapprehensive about having a full knee replacement

surgery for myself.” said RosiThevenin, a certified nursesaide at St. John’s RiversideHospital. “Unfortunately, I gotto the point where I could nolonger work and nurses wouldexpect me to move to do myjob. I knew we had gottenthis new robot in SJRHcalled MAKOplasty so I proceeded with the surgery. I was back on my feet the

next morning and could go to the bathroom by myself. I was doing physicaltherapy within one day - I couldn’t believe it.”

In many cases, patients are permitted to walk soon after surgery, drive a car within two weeks and return to normal daily activities shortly thereafter.

“MAKOplasty has helped me tremendously - I was walking virtuallyarthritic pain-free the day of the surgery,” said Kevin King, 52, who worksfor the New York Transit Authority. He underwent the procedure last September. “I was out of the hospital and out and about running errandswith virtually no pain within days. I have already planned to have theright knee done in April. I feel so good now that I want to now join thegym, lose weight and get on with my life.”

coworker while taking a walk.

Create an exercise accountability

partnership.

Walk during business calls when you don't

need to reference important documents.

Stand while talking on the telephone.

Walk down the hall to speak with some-

one rather than using the telephone.

Take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Or get off a few floors early and take the stairs the rest of the way.

Walk while waiting for the plane at the airport.

Stay at hotels with fitness centers or swimming pools and use them

while on business trips.

Take along a jump rope or a resistance band in your suitcase when

you travel. Jump and do calisthenics in your hotel room.

Download some audio fitness coaching.

Participate in or start a recreation league at your company.

Form a sports team to raise money for charity events.

Join a fitness center or YMCA near your job. Work out before

or after work to avoid rush-hour traffic, or drop by for a noon

workout.

Schedule exercise time on your business calendar and treat it

as any other important appointment.

Get off the bus a few blocks early and walk the rest of the way

to work or home.

Walk around your building for a break during the work day

or during lunch.

Some have mastered the art of typing while on a treadmill

by securing the laptop to the base. Be creative!

At Play

Play and recreation are important for good health.

Look for opportunities such as these to be active and have

fun at the same time:

Plan family outings and vacations that include physical activity

(hiking, backpacking, swimming, etc.)

See the sights in new cities by walking, jogging or bicycling.

Make a date with a friend to enjoy your favorite physical activities.

Do them regularly.

Play your favorite music

while exercising; enjoy

something that motivates

you.

Dance with someone or

by yourself. Take dancing

lessons. Hit the dance

floor on fast numbers

instead of slow ones.

Join a recreational club

that emphasizes physical

activity.

At the beach, sit and

watch the waves instead

of lying flat. Better yet,

get up and walk, run or fly a kite.

When golfing, walk instead of using a cart.

Play singles tennis or racquetball instead of doubles.

12-12-12 babies at Hudson Valley Hospital CenterThe two babies born at Hudson Valley Hospital Center on December 12, 2012 made

their mark on history, having the rare opportunity to be born on a triple number date thatwill not happen again for 89 years.

Yocasta Perez of New Rochelle and Jazmine Lassic of Peekskill excitedly held theirbaby boys and talked about the unique bond they will share forever.

“I was in so much pain I didn’t realize the importance of the date until after,” saidLassic. “After I held Ézan in my arms, I knew this was an extra special day.”

“My son, Nicholas, was supposed to be born on December 16, but his father knew hewas going to be born on 12-12-12,” said Yocasta Perez of New Rochelle.

Both babies are happy and most importantly healthy, Ézan was born 8lbs, 12oz, 19 ½inches long, and Nicholas was 6 lbs, 13oz and 20 ½ inches.

The births were noteworthy not only for its repetition -- Dec. 12, 2012, or 12/12/12 -- but also because it's the last time this century that all three of the same numbers fall onthe same date. The next time this will happen is on Jan. 1, 2101, or 01/01/2101.

Safe Sleeping InitiativeSound Shore Medical Center in New Rochelle has announced that it is one of eight hospitals

in Westchester County joining forces with the District Attorney’s Office in launching WestchesterCounty’s Safe Sleeping Initiative – a community partnership whose goal is to enhance baby safety.

This initiative’s goal is to improve child safety and assist parents in keeping their babies safe.Following are the American Academy of Pediatrics ABC’s of Baby Safe Sleeping:

A – Baby should sleep aloneB – Baby should sleep on his/her backC – Baby should sleep in a crib - that meets the Consumer Product Safety

Commission’s safety standards

Commenting on the Westchester County Safe Sleeping Initiative, Presidentand CEO of Sound Shore Medical Center, John R. Spicer said, “As a NewYork State Department of Health designated Perinatal Hospital with a NeonatalIntensive Care Unit, Sound Shore has always had a keen interest in babies and safeguarding their health and wellbeing. Just last year, we delivered 1,077 reasons to encourage parents to adopt the Safe Sleeping Initiative.” He concluded, “We are proud to be a partner in this effort.”


As a participating hospital, SSMC is committed to educating parents and care-givers about safe sleeping practices for their babies, including showing a six-minutevideo, “The ABC’s of Safe Sleeping”. The video is available in English and Spanish.In addition, to distributing informational material to new parents through theSSMC’s maternity department, the information is posted on its website.

The following are safe sleeping rules to help keep babies safe:Babies should sleep in a separate space alonePlace baby on his/her back; not on the sideProvide a sleep surface that is flat and firm – free of pillows, blankets, toys and stuffed animalsUse only cribs, cradles or bassinets approved for sleeping babiesKeep the baby’s room a comfortable, cool temperatureAvoid clothing that overheats babyHave a caretaker who is free of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs within earshot of a sleeping baby

Sadly, 70 percent of Americans may feel helpless to act during a cardiacemergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or theirtraining has significantly lapsed. This alarming statistic could hit close tohome, because home is exactly where 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur.

CPR Fact Sheet

WHY LEARN CPR?Cardiac arrests are more common than you think, and they can happen to anyone at any time.Nearly 300,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur annually, and 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home.Many victims appear healthy with no known heart disease or other risk factors.Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack.

o Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when electrical impulses in the heart become rapid or chaotic, which causes the heart to suddenly stop beating.

o A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle is blocked. A heart attack may cause cardiac arrest.

WHO CAN YOU SAVE WITH CPR?The life you save with CPR is most likely to be a loved one.Four out of five cardiac arrests happen at home.Statistically speaking, if called on to administer CPR in an emergency, the life yousave is likely to be someone at home: a child, a spouse, a parent or a friend.

African-Americans are almost twice as likely to experience cardiac arrest at home,work or in another public location than Caucasians, and their survival rates are twice as poor as for Caucasians.

WHY TAKE ACTION?Failure to act in a cardiac emergency can lead to unnecessary deaths.Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival, but only 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander.Sadly, less than eight percent of people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital survive.The American Heart Association trains more than 12 million people in CPR annually, to equip Americans with the skills they need to perform bystander CPR.

Anyone can learn CPR – and everyone should!

The life you savewith CPR is mostlikely to be someone you love.

Put very simply:


In this economy everyone is looking for the next

great deal. When it comes to leasing a car, you can

search for an incredible offer because if you're in a

lease and the car is faulty you just take it back with

no expense. Many products and services come with

this type of discounting and assurance as many busi-

ness are in need of customers. Some believe the same

to be true about a Botox Treatment and are very often

lead to believe they got a great deal.

Receiving a great deal on Botox is like wanting the

whole enchilada but just getting the nachos. I am not

sure if this example provides the full picture, but you

just can't compromise a Botox treatment and expect

a great outcome.

Botox and Dysport is a botulinum toxin. When

used correctly it can relieve the look of aging and

temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to

severe wrinkling and creases in the upper face and

eye area by freezing certain muscles in and around

the face, " A Quick Lift "

Botox and Dysport can be offered per area or per

treatment. It is far less of a guessing game and the re-

sults are much more corrective offered per treatment.

All areas of the upper face will be treated at the same

time for one price.

The catch here is how much product are you get-

ting for your money. I have heard that one client said

to another that her Botox or Dysport treatment cost

was $400 and that her friend paid $600 and was over

charged. Truthfully, if the person paying $600 re-

ceived 50 units of Botox or 150 units of Dysport she

got a much better deal and much better results. Some

providers prefer to ask the patient to explain what

area is of most concern and treat just that area. To

fully appreciate the dramatic and youthful effects of

Botox or Dysport all areas in the upper face could

and should be treated. Mostly all women and men

want to look refreshed and have a tighter less wrin-

kled looking face.

If the line between your brows makes you crazy

you can purchase what you need to correct that line.

The same goes for sagging eyelids or droopy eye-

brows. Many women are not sure where to start and

a full treatment in all three areas is a complete cor-

rection. Customers will benefit from coming into an

office and asking the price per unit. This is truly the

only way you can determine if you are getting a fair

price or if the provider is just over charging. The av-

erage amount for a full treatment, all three areas, the

brows forehead and around the eyes is 50 units of

Botox and 150 units of Dysport. Dysport is weighted

in European terms so 150 units equals 50 units in

America. The average cost is between $12-$15 per

unit for Botox and $4-$7 per unit of Dysport.

The consumer needs to be in-

formed before looking for a great

deal. Most importantly the injec-

tor must be in the medical field

and highly trained as an injector.

How long have they been pro-

viding Botox? These questions

need to be answered before you

consider a location.

Certainly the technique is im-

portant but that does not cost

twice as much as another tal-

ented injector. I have found that

some of the female nurses work-

ing with a doctor are some of the

best injectors in the business. Re-

ferrals are a great way to find

someone with talent. If you no-

ticed your neighbor or co-worker

looks years younger after a long

weekend ask them what's up and

where do I go. Experience and

talent will provide a safe and

very exciting outcome and you

will look years younger with no

downtime at a fraction of the cost

of surgery.

medical conditions. Side effects,

if any, are minimal and no al-

lergy testing necessary. New uses

for Botox are constantly being

found and Botox has been safely

administered in the medical field

for over twenty years.

With the continued growth of

these services and the addition of

many fillers to safely lift the face

and fill the lips many locations

throughout Westchester now offer

Botox and Fillers. Locally Pretty

There is a need to repeat the

treatment every three to four

months. Some gals think that just

one treatment before a wedding

or reunion will do. The problem,

you will look and feel great about

yourself and when it starts wear-

you can see it as maintenance or

Cosmetic Surgery

Not everyone is blessed with great skin, a

cute nose or perfect breasts. That’s why,

every year, millions of men and women

select surgical treatments to enhance,

minimize, nip and tuck all manner of

physical features. From face lifts and

tummy tucks, breast augmentation and

liposuction, to laser hair removal and

botox injections, there is a procedure out

there that can repair, remove, lift and

smooth just about every inch of the

human body.

These physical imperfections don’t upset

everyone who has them. However, for some,

they can shape poor self-image and influence

low confidence levels. When considering

plastic surgery, it is important to find a surgeon

who is board certified. To become certified by

the American Board of Plastic Surgery,

doctors must complete a minimum of five years'

residency training, including three years in basic

surgery and at least two in plastic surgery.

The best way to select your plastic surgeon is to do

your own research. Take your time. Interview at least two

or three plastic surgeons, and see examples of their work.

Look at their before and after pictures. Make sure

you like the results of the doctor's work and

that you feel you have a good rapport with

him or her.

Your expectations: Expect improvement,

not perfection. If you expect cosmetic

surgery to turn you into a movie star,

you're bound to be disappointed.

Expense: Cosmetic surgery isn't

covered by most health insurance plans.

The cost varies depending on the

procedure, ranging from hundreds to

thousands of dollars. Also consider the

cost of any follow-up care or additional

corrective procedures.

Risks: Dissatisfaction is possible after any type of cosmetic surgery. Surgical complications

are possible, too — including excessive bleeding or infection at the surgical site.

Recovery: After cosmetic surgery,

you may need days, weeks or even

months to recover. Understand the

physical effects that may be part of

your recovery, as well as how the

surgery may affect aspects of your

personal and professional life.

Psychological changes: Your self-esteem

might improve after cosmetic surgery,

but cosmetic surgery isn’t likely to relieve

depression or other mental health conditions.

The 2013 limits on contribution and out-of-pocket spending amounts for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and for

the High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) were increased again this year by the IRS. In Revenue Procedure

2012-26, issued on April 27, 2012, the IRS provided the inflation-adjusted HSA contribution and HDHP minimum

deductible and out-of-pocket limits for 2013. The higher rates reflect the cost-of-living adjustment and rounding

rules of Internal Revenue Code section 223.

A comparison of the 2012 and 2013 limits is shown below:

Here are some important points regarding HSAs and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act:

HSA penalties for nonqualified expenses

Effective Jan. 1, 2011, the penalty for using HSA funds for nonqualified medical expenses for those under the age of 65 (unless totally and

permanently disabled) increased from 10 percent to 20 percent of the funds used for nonqualified expenses. Funds spent for nonqualified

purposes also are subject to income tax.

HSAs and coverage of adult children under age 26

While the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) allows parents to add their adult children (up to age 26) to their health plans,

the IRS has not changed its definition of a dependent for health savings accounts. This means that an employee whose 24-year-old child

is covered on their HSA-qualified high-deductible health plan is not eligible to use HSA funds to pay for medical bills for that 24-year-old.

If account holders can't claim a child as a dependent on their tax returns, then they can't spend HSA dollars on services provided to that

child. According to the IRS definition, a dependent is a qualifying child who:

• Has same principal place of abode as the covered employee for more than one-half of the taxable year.

• Has not provided over one-half of their own support during the taxable year.

• Is not yet age 19 (or not yet age 24 if a student) at the end of the tax year

• Is permanently and totally disabled.

Phelps Cardiologist's research connects risk of heartdisease to first responders

Over 180 members of local police and

fire departments have been among the first

to respond to a call for a higher level of fit-

ness in their ranks. They have signed up to

participate in the "Chief's Challenge," a

program which began at Club Fit in Jef-

ferson Valley and Briarcliff Manor to im-

prove the health and wellness of public

safety personnel.

The program was inspired by research

conducted by Dr. Franklin Zimmerman,

Senior Attending Cardiologist and Direc-

tor of Critical Care at Phe lps Memorial

Hospital Center in Sleepy Hollow. His

findings were published recently in Cardi-

ology in Review and presented at a meet-

ing of the International Association of

Chiefs of Police held in San Diego.

"We found that law enforcement per-

sonnel are at a high risk for heart disease.

They have a high prevalence of cardiac

risk factors, including high blood pressure,

high cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular

disease, cigarette smoking, psychological

stress and a sedentary lifestyle," said Dr.

Zimmerman. "Both police officers and

firemen need to be encouraged to build

their own personal health, beginning with

a regular exercise program such as the one

being offered to them at Club Fit."

Beginning January 1, the "Chief's Chal-

lenge" features a free three-months mem-

bership at Club Fit for all police and fire

personnel in Westchester and surrounding

counties. At the end of the first three months,

memberships can be extended at half-price.

The department with the highest average

club visits a t the end of three months will

win a $500 donation provided by the Heart

and Health Education Foundation that Dr.

Zimmerman heads with his partners and fel-

low Phelps' cardiologists Arthur Fass, MD

and Dina Katz, MD. The department with

the highest average number of visits at the

end of a year will receive a $1,000 donation.

Dr. Zimmerman is hopeful that the program

will be so successful in the Westchester area that

it can be expanded and serve as a model across

the country. "When I spoke to the Westchester

County Chiefs of Police Association earlier this

year, the feedback was tremendous," he said.

"They recognize the need to keep their of-

ficers fit and healthy as a very important

part of their commitment to public safety."

In addition to his professional interest in

the health of the nation's first responders, Dr.

Zimmerman has a personal interest because

his sister, Shelley Zimmerman, is Assistant

Chief of Police for the City of San Diego.

"She is also a triathlete and trains regularly,"

said Dr. Zimmerman, "so I've had lots of

support for this program in our family and

through my sister's connections nationally."

Dr. Zimmerman lectures regularly on

cardiovascular health and related emer-

gencies to EMT's and other first-respon-

ders at the Hoch Center for Emergency

Education at Phelps. He and his partners

are all members of Club Fit Briarcliff and

can be seen exercising at the club nearly

every day, practicing what they preach to

their patients about a healthy lifestyle.

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 andsuffering of my patients. As a clinician, one of the biggest challenges I face is helping my patients deal with musculoskeletal andneuropathic 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 ifyou can, wait, and hope for the best. After a failed trial of “conservative” therapy a call might go out to the orthopedic surgeon forassistance; a truly satisfactory result is not common. The simple fact is that physicians are not well trained to deal with musculoskeletalpain, 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’soutstanding practice. After beginning a vigorous exercise regimen I started to experience awful neck and upper back pain, accompaniedby 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 intears from the excruciating pain. A neurosurgeon diagnosed a herniated disc and pinched nerve in my neck and offered to decompressit 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 fixthe herniated disc in my neck: deep massage, active release techniques, traditional manipulation, cold therapy, and finally spinaldecompression. After that first hour with Dr. Donath my pain had decreased from a 10/10 down to a manageable 4/10, and I was ableto 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 oftreatments and the pain decreased even further. After about five days the pain was absolutely gone. Unbelievable! Since then he hasused 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 andlasting. He is my go to guy for the majority of musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain syndromes that I now realize are truly treatable.

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 upsof 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 afew days. I have tried everything: doing nothing and "toughing it out", muscle relaxants, physical therapy, chiropractic, therapeuticmassage, 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 inpain 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, benddown and I had almost no pain. Since that last back episode, Dr. Donath has helped me with my tendonitis in my right hand andwith my chronic knee problems. I recommend Dr. Donath to everyone with back, muscle or joint pain. Even if you have not had reliefwith 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 aboutthe 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 medicaldoctor 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 downfor spinal decompression therapy. It was unbelievable that after only two initial sessions, my radiating pain down my leg had almostdisappeared. Gradually, I started getting better, started doing exercises that they gave me midway through the treatment. Now, I amdoing 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 definitelyfeel at home and will get better.

“I grew up in the music business and it feels like yesterday that I was finding new acts for Rudy Vallee. Perry

Como was my good friend and thought me an up-and-comer at 20. By the time Frank Sinatra breezed by my office

at Capitol Records, I had worked my way up to the Professional Department that handled all new music. Then one

day I met Marilyn Monroe. My heart jumped! Before I knew it 50 years had sped by like a taxi on 8th Avenue. Now

I listen to my music and share stories with my “family” at The Bristal. I’ve earned this comfortable life.”
