Stop Treating Pain.
Start Solving the Pattern Causing It.
A human movement and biomechanics-based approach for anyone who wants to understand what’s actually driving their pain—and fix it.
We START WITH a careful assessment, followed by personalized treatment to For your symptoms, and identify what is causing them.
I’m Dr. Keith Donato.
I work with patients who are done chasing temporary relief and want real answers.
My approach is rooted in human movement and biomechanics.
Instead of focusing only on where something hurts, I look at how your body is functioning as a system—how you move, how you compensate, and where things start to break down.
Most of the time, the pain isn’t the problem. It results from an ingrained movement pattern that hasn’t been addressed. Correcting the pattern is the key to fixing the problem.
Who This is For
We are usually a good fit if:
- You’ve tried treatment before, but the issue keeps coming back
- You’ve been told everything looks “fine,” but it doesn’t feel that way
- Your pain moves around or never fully resolves
- You want to actually understand what’s going on
A Different Approach
Most care is built around symptoms.
What I do is different.
I look at movement, biomechanics, and naturally occurring asymmetries—how your body is loading, shifting, and compensating over time—and use that to figure out why certain areas keep getting stressed.
From there, the goal is simple: change the pattern so the symptom doesn’t need to keep showing up.
What I Work With
Most people I see are dealing with:
- Pain that keeps coming back
- Injuries that never fully resolved
- Movement limitations that don’t make sense
- Compensation patterns or asymmetries
- A body that just doesn’t feel the way it used to
Where it shows up—back, knee, shoulder, foot—varies. The underlying pattern is usually the real issue.
Why This Works
When movement and biomechanics are off, the body adapts by compensating.
Those compensations shift demand to areas not designed to carry it.
Over time, that demand becomes stress on the system. And that stress eventually presents as symptoms.
About
My goal is to solve mechanical problems that haven’t responded to traditional care.
About Dr. Donato
Dr. Donato is committed to patient care and services that address not just symptoms but the root cause of pain and other health conditions. Since opening his Saratoga Springs, New York, chiropractic office in 2006, Dr. Donato has utilized his expert knowledge of exercise and movement and how proper body mechanics can naturally reduce pain.
What We Treat
We regularly treat a wide range of issues and ailments such as: spine/joint disorders, back pain, sports-related injuries, pre- and pos-surgical issues, hernias, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, headaches, and many other issues. Most issues that patients present with actually stem from other areas of the body. Dr. Donato will work with you to treat these causes, as well as the symptoms.
What To Expect
Dr. Donato specializes in a form of deep tissue manipulation called Active Release Techniques®. When applied to affected areas, many patients feel relief almost immediately. Depending on your medical condition, Dr. Donato may also perform other more traditional chiropractic treatments. These will be performed only if needed and if you are comfortable with them.
“Over the years, I’ve received more relief for athletic-type injuries by way of Dr. Donato’s ART and chiropractic treatments than from any traditional medical doctor. I have referred many friends to him and will continue to do so because of the effective treatment he provides.” – Joe N.
