May 12, 2026Chiropractor Dr. Jonathan Donath of Join Effort Chiropractic in White Plains, New York, treats patient David, who has experienced neck and lower back pain for over a year and a half.
David, a painter, shares that his neck issues began after a hard turn of his head and his lower back pain has been debilitating for three years. Previously, David found relief through active release technique, myofascial release, and treatments for bulging or herniated discs in his neck. During this session,
Dr. Donath introduces a new treatment called the Y-strap adjustment. The chiropractor uses active release technique on David's upper back and neck muscles, the rhomboids, and then performs a neck adjustment. He uses a wide Y-strap to aid in mid-back adjustments since David's muscular build made it challenging.
The patient reports feeling a good hurt during treatment and sees improvement. Overall, the patient expresses satisfaction with the treatment, describing it as the best experience he has ever had.
