I went to Dr. Shaw for the first time, because I had a shoulder pain that would not go away, even after taking orthopedist prescribed medication and a couple months of physical therapy. Every time I went back to the orthopedist he said, well, just continue taking these pills and the therapy and I will see you in a month. After two weeks of sessions with Dr. Shaw, the pain was nearly all gone and I regained the ability to use my shoulder. My treatment continues and I feel better and better every week. My shoulder feels great, my fatigue level is down, my mood is better. I was so confident in Dr. Shaw's ability after he helped me, I now have both my children and my wife going to him. We go to the office for our visits together every week. They have books and toys to keep the kids busy while we wait. They are extremely accommodating when a hectic family walks into the office. They also have a fantastic instructor and equipment to help aid in stretching and strengthening whatever parts of your body need it. If you are a person that has any kind of physical pain and feel that surgery is possibly needed to repair your issue, I urge you to go see Dr. Shaw first. There is a good chance he can fix you without the need for invasive solutions.

I have been seeing Dr. Shaw on and off for a little over a year now and I could not be happier with his practice or his methods! As a former chiropractic assistant, I can attest to the fact that Dr. Shaw is thorough, considerate, and personable in his treatment and goes above and beyond other offices in the area. Ati is the most helpful and kind woman to talk to when scheduling an appointment and explaining how to use the machines in order to stretch before your adjustment (she also gives you a fruit or veggie after your adjustment!). The office is beautiful, clean, and peaceful. Not only do you get a thorough first and second examination, but Dr. Shaw is also one of the gentler adjustments, while still being effective, I have received and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Dr. Shaw and his staff are extremely polite, knowledgeable and patient. His office is clean and relaxing and the atmosphere is very relaxed. After one visit Dr. Shaw was able to alleviate some pain and we were able to pinpoint the cause of my pain, which we now have a plan for! I’d recommend this practice to anyone.

Having suffered for many years with unresolved pain due to scoliosis, I was evaluated for treatment by Dr. Shaw. Prior to my time with Newton Health and Wellness, I sought help from a host of back pain modalities including multiple physical therapy approaches, myofacial release therapy, acupuncture, trigger point injections, taping, bracing, prolotherapy, blood plasma therapy (PRP), cortisone injection, SI joint surgical fixation, pain management through medication, and other chiropractic practices. Over many years I have spent thousands of dollars and traveled to many states in seeking help. None of the above brought me lasting pain relief. Thanks to the extensive and comprehensive knowledge and approach of the team at Newton Health and Wellness, I have been given much help, for which I am very thankful. Dr. Shaw is thorough as well as compassionate in his practice. I would recommend anyone who has experienced frustration in resolving complicated pain issues to contact his office. R.S.O.

For quite a while I’d been having trouble with tightness in my glute and thigh muscles. Every day I woke up so tight making it hard to even reach for the toothpaste on my countertop without pain. I was stretching each day, and having therapeutic massages, but it wasn’t helping. One day, reaching from a standing position, I picked the remote control up off the coffee table, heard a terrible crack/tearing sound coming from my lower spine, and experienced excruciating pain. I could not move at all. Severe pain and numbness was in my back, spreading down my legs, that stopped me from walking at all. Falling was a real issue. This was the start of my journey to better health. For several weeks I saw my PCP, went to the Hospital ER, Orthopedist, and Spine Physiatrist. I was told by the orthopedist, after reviewing my x-rays, that I should see a spine specialist as I would most likely need surgery. He prescribed Prednisone for the inflammation, and Tramadol for the pain (which I didn't realize is an opioid). I took the prednisone for 12 days with no improvement, and as I was crawling around the house in agony, I called back to request an MRI. The MRI revealed an issue with a herniated disc at L4, L5, spinal stenosis, and a pinched and irritated nerve. I was told by the orthopedist that my back was a “TRAIN WRECK”. I informed him I was not going to take the opioid, to which he responded, “If you don’t take it, you’re not going to get better”. I decided to get a second opinion and met with a Spine Physiatrist. After examining me and reading the MRI, he too thought I would most likely need surgery, but suggested physical therapy first. Finally, I met with Dr. Shaw at Newton Health and Wellness. We reviewed the MRI together and he explained what was happening in my body. The disc at L4, L5 was pushing on my spinal cord and affecting the nerve and blood flow to my glutes, thigh muscles…all the way down my legs. After examining me, he found that one hip was an inch and a half higher than the other, causing imbalance in my spine. After just 2 adjustment appointments, there was noticeable improvement. I put my faith and my health in Dr. Shaw’s hands and together, we set up a plan for adjustments, laser therapy, and IDD Therapy. For the first few weeks I needed the assistance of a walker in order to function without falling. I graduated to a cane within 3 weeks, then in three more weeks, I started walking on my own with no pain. I am so pleased with my improvement and overall health. All of the things I could not do for two months (walking, showering, sleeping, making dinner, driving, working, etc.) are an everyday pleasure! I have come so far in such a short period of time without the need for surgery. My journey continues with Newton Health and Wellness as I move forward with my overall health and well-being. I am entirely grateful to Dr. Shaw and Ati for their expertise, health care, and kindness in my journey to strength, health, and wellness.

When I came to Dr. Shaw and Ati in March 2022 I was in some of the worst pain of my life. Since December 2021 I had been suffering from a herniated disc in my lower lumbar spine. This was causing a nerve to be compressed and resulted in pain from my lower back to the bottom of my left foot. I had a surgical consultation and was told I was a definite candidate for a discectomy. My fear was that if I had one surgery, there may be more to follow. I decided surgery would be the last resort. Dr. Shaw was confident he could help me. He began treatment using K-laser therapy to help reduce pain and inflammation of muscles throughout my leg. He accompanied this with spinal adjustments and slowly but surely I was finally feeling some relief. Eventually, Dr. Shaw felt I was ready for IDD therapy. The Accu-Spina table helps to open the spaces between vertebrae. After a few sessions of this, I noticed a huge difference not only in discomfort, but also in my mobility. I would definitely recommend to anyone in a similar situation to consult with Dr. Shaw. He is extremely knowledgeable in traditional chiropractic care as well as new treatments and techniques. His wife Ati is the most welcoming person and speaks with you as if you were in her home. The atmosphere of the entire office offers a sense of peace and healing. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to explore an alternative to spinal surgery with Dr. Shaw.

Where professionalism meets personal consideration. Dr. Shaw is always sure to ask and more importantly, listen to my needs and offers more than relief from week to week. Newton Health & Wellness, from the equipment, to the the relaxing atmosphere, and wonderful staff, all focus on long-term, sustainable living to not only heal, but ensure life decisions minimize any further injury. This is what all doctor visits should be. Thank you Dr Shaw and Ati!

When I first went to Dr Shaw my hip was in so much pain. I struggled to walk, sit, stand and sleep. Playing with my grandkids was almost impossible. After a few visits I felt so much better. It has only been 2 months and I am feeling better then I have in years. I can hike and bike ride again. I feel like I no longer am limited with my movements. He has not only helped my lower back but has made my entire back feel so much better. When you walk into Newton Health & Wellness it is so tranquil. Ati and Dr Shaw have truly helped me on my path to wellness.

The nerve pain down my leg was getting so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep. Dr. Shaw has already made me feel 90% better in only 3 weeks of treatment. I was limited in activities I was able to do and I could only sleep on one side and even that was hard. I now can sleep in whatever position I want and I've even had a lot of relief from migraines which I didn't realize Dr. Shaw could help with too. I'm so grateful for Newton Health and Wellness. Ati & Dr. Shaw are very friendly and welcoming. I feel very comfortable with them and they genuinely care about my progress. I am so grateful. The quality of my life has dramatically improved in just a few weeks.

I was on a 7-year continual loop of going to an orthopedic doctor when my neck pain flared up, where I was provided prescription medicines consisting of muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatories and sometimes pain killers, along with 7 weeks of PT. Dealt with and accepted the fact that my neck problem was my way of life. I took Advil almost every day and got used the pain so much that I forgot what pain free felt like until my husband convinced me to see Dr. Shaw. I'm about halfway through a 12-week program and I can say with 100% certainty that I am a changed person. While PT always worked, I understand now that treating the area of the injury is not the cure, it is a temporary fix. Overall wellness, from head to toe is the key and that is what you'll get at Newton Health and Wellness. Not only does my neck feel better (no more crinkling sounds or pain when I move it) my back, shoulders, hips, knees, arms, elbows, attitude - all so much better and I'm not even finished! I'm a believer in this alternative care and would recommend it to anyone who lives with pain, no matter what the degree of pain they have.

I came to Newton Health and Wellness for multiple issues. My shoulders, back and hips were out of balance, my sinus’s have been inflamed for years and had such tight tension on my ribs and upper chest that is made it hard to breathe. Ati got me settled, she’s a ray of sunshine and works with your needs to make sure to stay on track. They were able to accommodate my schedule and take me at 630 am twice a week. Dr. Shaw created a 11 week 22 session plan and I’m halfway through and feeling like a brand new person fresh out of the box. He includes chiropractor work, massaging, stretching equipment and most of all laser treatment to increase mitochondrion production. This included with at home work has made it possible for me to see life changing results at life changing speed. 10 out of 10

I've been a patient of Dr. Shaw for about a year now. The atmosphere is calming and the property is beautiful. Dr. Shaw came up with a plan to relieve my back pain, and I began to feel better after the first few visits. I went to three chiropractors prior to my treatment here. What separates Dr. Shaw from other chiropractors is the office's comprehensive approach to my treatment. For example, they recommended a magnesium supplement and stretches to do while I'm at home. Their holistic approach to health makes them stand-out from other practices. Ati does an amazing job at the front desk. My insurance situation is a little unusual, so she worked with me on a customized payment plan. She also makes sure to provide me with the documentation that I need for submitting claims to my heath insurance provider. Both Ati and Dr. Shaw care about their patients. They are always thoughtful in their approach to patient care. They provide healthcare advice that's more personalized to their patients and distinguishes them from the other chiropractors I've been to in the past. They go beyond other practices and I'm thankful to be in their care.

I've been seeing Dr. Shaw for just over two years now. I initially started seeing him for issues with my iron levels and difficulties with running. He reviewed my blood work and was able to come up with a nutrition plan, as well as chiropractic care. My running started to feel easier again and my recovery after my workouts was much quicker! I was pregnant in 2022-2023 and continued to see Dr. Shaw throughout my pregnancy. I attribute an easy and quick labor to my adjustments and keeping my pelvis aligned. Dr. Shaw has also taken the time to examine and assess my three-month-old's alignment. I also want to add that Dr. Shaw's wife, Ati, is such a pleasure to talk with. She checks in after adjustments to see how I'm feeling and is always able to make appointments that work with my schedule. Thank you Ati and Dr. Shaw!

Our son, who was only 16, he was struggling with horrible jaw and ear pain. We took him to the dentist, orthodontist, an ear, nose and throat doctor, and finally a neurologist. He had numerous shots of botox to relax the muscles in his face to stop the pain. All of the prescribed treatments did not help and in fact made it worse. His neurologist gave him prescription medications, which made him have severe adverse reactions of dizziness, nausea, and memory loss. He missed many days of school and suffered with daily flares. After many months, he was finally seen by a neurosurgeon who diagnosed Trigeminal Neuralgia and suggested surgery. We were petrified and frustrated. A relative, who is a patient of Dr. Shaw, suggested I see him as he specializes in complicated conditions. After a thorough examination and x-rays, he identified a significant misalignment at the base of his skull that was pinching and irritating a cranial nerve radiating intense pain into our son’s face and jaw. Dr. Shaw believed this irritation also contributed to brain fog, fatigue and sinus congestion issues which he had been struggling with as long as we can remember. Treatments were started and were successful and within a month, our son was off all medications. Our son began a course of care on a spinal decompression machine which further aided his recovery. The recurrent sore throats and nausea he tolerated for the longest time are now gone, as well as his brain fog and memory loss. His sinus condition has improved and he is now pain free. If it wasn’t for Dr. Shaw, our son would have had surgery on his brain at the age of 16. To say that Dr. Shaw and his wife Ati are compassionate, understanding and really care for your well being is an understatement. Dr. Shaw’s knowledge and empathy is unprecedented in today’s healthcare industry. We do not know where we would be if not for Dr. Shaw. Words cannot express our gratitude to him and his practice.
