Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments and joint mobilization. By restoring proper alignment and movement, we alleviate pain, improve function, and support the body's natural healing processes. This service benefits individuals with back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries, offering long-term relief and enhanced mobility.
Active Release Techniques
Active Release Techniques (ART) target soft tissue injuries by breaking up adhesions and scar tissue in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This hands-on method relieves pain, restores range of motion, and accelerates recovery for conditions like carpal tunnel, shin splints, and sports injuries. Patients experience immediate relief and improved performance through customized treatment plans.
Functional Movement Assessments
Functional movement assessments identify biomechanical imbalances and movement dysfunctions that contribute to pain or injury. Using tools like the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), we create targeted corrective exercise programs to enhance mobility, prevent injuries, and optimize physical performance for athletes and active individuals.
Corporate Wellness Programs
Our corporate wellness programs deliver on-site chiropractic care and preventive treatments to reduce employee absenteeism and improve workplace health. Services include ergonomic assessments, ART for repetitive stress injuries, and self-management strategies tailored to industries like manufacturing and office environments, fostering a healthier, more productive workforce.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialized sports injury treatment addresses acute and chronic conditions affecting athletes, including rotator cuff injuries, IT band syndrome, and plantar fasciitis. Combining ART, chiropractic adjustments, and rehabilitative exercises, we accelerate recovery, prevent re-injury, and enhance athletic performance for runners, swimmers, powerlifters, and team sport participants.

Keith Donato greatly improved the quality of my life. Before finding Keith, I lived with chronic headaches as well as pain in my ribs, back, and neck for 10 years (my 20's). I had tried 6 chiropractors in Miami and NYC, before finding Keith upon moving to Saratoga. Keith was the first and only of all 7 chiropractors to correctly diagnose and treat my issues and prescribe a home exercise plan that helped me regain a pain-free life.
In my vast experience with chiropractic care, I can attest that Keith operates in a very different league in terms of knowledge, skill, and dedication to his patients treatment. If you're in pain and need help, you are very lucky to have just found him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Donato for as long as I can remember. His technique is not comparable to anyone else in the capital region. Dr. Donato not only treats the patient ailments, but he explains to the patient what he is doing throughout. Being someone who holds a B.S. and is on the road to furthering education in the medical field, this is invaluable to treatment. For the treatment and results patients get, his rates are completely acceptable.
It is hard to put a value on Dr. Donato's treatment because you simply cannot put a price on treatment that shows results and provides relief. To a person looking to heal the pain and the problem, his services are exactly what you need. Dr. Donato not only treats the pain a patient is enduring, but he gets to the root of the problem and solves it to prevent further injury/pain. I highly recommend Dr. Donato to anyone seeking treatment, no matter how minor or major the problem is.

I honestly am amazed each time I go to Keith. The amount of knowledge and the ability to make someone who's had 9 different surgeries from years of powerlifting is mind blowing. A little comic relief never hurts either. My shoulder moves right now in a way it hasn't in years! Thanks Keith!
