Trusted Chiropractor in Brooklyn Who Listens
The Nuro Chiropractic practice was founded with an idea in mind to “diagnose first, then treat second”. Dr. Brian Donovan doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, he considers his patients’ symptoms and provides a thoughtful, individualized treatment that’s unique to the situation.
Dr. Brian’s has a Doctorate degree in Chiropractic, and he has a Master of Science in Acupuncture. He graduated cum laude from the University of Bridgeport, and he holds certifications in Functional Movement Patterns as well as Fascial Manipulation. He is going to treat patients with care and help them heal naturally.
He opened Nuro Chiropractic Clinic in 2025, and it’s located on 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge. His goal is to provide Brooklyn with a whole new level of chiropractic experience that’s centered on thorough evaluations rather than rushed visits. He treats sports injuries, TMJ pain, and other pain conditions that a patient may experience.
His favorite patients are the ones who already tried everything but haven’t solved any of their issues yet. If we find out that you need a different specialist, you’ll know that too. Our transparency is what new patients across Brooklyn love, as we are a team that genuinely listens and gives real answers.
About Our PracticeOur Treatments & Care
Patients don’t undergo the same treatments because each case is different. Dr. Donovan may bring together SoftWave Therapy along with chiropractic adjustments depending on your diagnosis. He will make sure that you can move again with comfort after the treatment plan is finished.

SoftWave Therapy
This kind of treatment uses acoustic waves to trigger biological responses in the body, especially if it involves slow-healing tissues. In the case of chronic joint problems like knee osteoarthritis, shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, golfer’s elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome, he will craft a treatment that will optimize your healing. A SoftWave session can last for 10 minutes without the need to use needles.
His shockwave therapy is backed by science that has helped with chronic tendon conditions. Dr. Donovan will pair the therapy with X-ray examination as well as red light therapy to promote faster healing. He will move the SoftWave applicator through the spot that hurts to get real-time feedback on what’s causing the pain.

Auto Accident Care
Pain in the injured area doesn’t always mean that those are the nerves that need treatment. A painful shoulder can be caused by the nerves in the neck, and the doctor will check this through neurological exams. He will also take into account the accident that you might have been in, and this way, he will not miss anything, especially in the days following a crash.
A pinched nerve will need imaging checks, and the early phase of the treatment needs to be carefully managed. The goal is to get the patient back to their normal activities while not feeling any pain. These treatments are usually covered through New York's No-Fault insurance, with a clear estimate of cost before therapy starts.

Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are done to ease pressure on one’s nerves as well as muscles, and this is done in a controlled manner. The doctor will check for possible issues like degenerative disc disease, which can cause stiffness and radiating pain when one is sitting. He may use spinal decompression to lower the pressure inside the disc and make the muscles relax in the painful area.
He will also use low-force adjustments that can address the recurring stiffness in a disc injury. Other treatments may include instrument-assisted techniques like Activator for scoliosis to relieve muscle tension and avoid fatigue. He will adapt the right techniques so care can progress at a pace that’s appropriate for your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to questions that you may have. Don’t see yours here? Give us a call at (718) 745-2229, and we’ll be happy to help.
What should I expect on my first visit?
A $49.95 introductory offer welcomes new patients, and it includes a full package of consultations and X-rays if needed; these are available for two visits. Dr. Donovan will examine you and give an explanation about the patient’s condition before proceeding with the treatment.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No. You can book directly with our office for a chiropractor since we have a licensed care provider in the clinic.
Is insurance accepted and what happens if you don’t have it?
No-fault and workers’ compensation insurance is accepted. There is also a $49.95 new patient offer, which includes two visits while the verification of your benefits is going on. HSA/FSA, CareCredit, credit cards, Apple Pay, and cash are the payment options accepted. Details are on our insurance and payment page.
When possible, Dr. Donovan helps patients if they have issues with cost.
Is it safe to undergo chiropractic adjustments?
Yes, as long as the chiropractic adjustments are appropriate for the patient’s condition. The findings of the initial examination will be reviewed before any adjustments are made. Dr. Donovan will also adapt the treatment based on the patient’s age, and if these treatments are not for them, then he will refer the patient to the right specialist if needed.
How many visits will I need?
There is no specific number because it depends on your current situation. Re-evaluation will be done regularly to track your progress instead of doing the treatment just for the sake of having treatment.
Can you help after a car accident?
Yes. An orthopedic and neurological exam, with a detailed account of what happened in the accident, will be conducted. There is also an in-house digital X-ray if clinically appropriate. The treatment will progress as the symptoms improve. There is also New York’s No-Fault insurance if you need coverage.
What if I've already tried everything else?
This is why you need Dr. Donovan because he is an expert in this field. Prepare your history and old imaging for reference. More answers are in our full FAQ page.
