Welcome to Dade Donovan DC website!
Dr. Donovan specializes in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of repetitive stress injuries with the goal of correcting abnormal movement patterns and postures. He uses a holistic approach to help patients overcome pain and physical limitations that incorporates 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 elbow and neck injuries that had bothered 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. 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 has worked in 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: Kathryn and daughters Maya (8 years old) and Halle (6 years old). He likes to camp, 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. Dr. Donovan is a Work Injury Prevention Specialist for Future Industrial Technology.
