Dr. Donovan specializes in the treatment of the spine and extremities with special attention to rehabilitation, and prevention of repetitive stress injuries. In addition to Chiropractic adjustments and Active Release Technique (soft tissue release work), he uses a holistic approach that addresses Diet, Rest, Exercise, Alignment and Mindfulness (D.R.E.A.M.).

Dr. Donovan discovered Chiropractic after he himself was treated for an old soccer injury. The treatments quickly resolved the chronic elbow and neck pain that had affected him throughout college. After receiving his Bachelors of Science degree from Northeastern University, Dr. Donovan returned to California and attended Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward where he graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1998. His residency in Chiropractic was performed at the Life West Public Clinic and at a private clinic in Oakland. He worked in a group practice in South San Francisco before starting his own practice in San Mateo. In addition to traditional chiropractic techniques, Dr. Donovan is full body certified in Active Release Technique™.

Dr. Donovan is a San Mateo native. Outside the office, he enjoys spending time with his family: wife Kathryn and daughters Maya and Halle. He likes to be outdoors, to backpack, hike, cycle, garden, travel, and can be somewhat fanatical about soccer.

His private practice is at 700 South Claremont Street Suite #111 between 5th and 9th avenues in downtown San Mateo. He is certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and the California State Chiropractic Board.
