After exhausting countless medical options with orthopedic surgeons, pain management doctors, PT, standard chiropractic services and general medicine, I took a leap of faith with Newton Health & Wellness. My level of pain has drastically decreased from being limited and in constant pain to resuming my day to day activities with no pain (hiking, weight training, walking, yard work, etc). Dr. Shaw not only treats but he teaches his patients about whole body wellness. So much of my mind and body's health has improved as a result of attending this practice.

Although initially a sceptic years ago chiropractic was recommended to me by an orthopedist in lieu of surgery. It worked well. Subsequently moving from Clifton, NJ 11 years ago I did the commute back for further treatment. My efforts to find a chiropractor near me were futile. Met some nice folk’s but none could get the job done. Long story short, my chiropractor passed, and I was forced to seek a new provider once again. Happened on Dr. Shaw’s advertisement and set up an initial meeting.This was a productive meeting and having hobbled up to his office I reviewed my chiropractor failures in Sussex County. Just wanted him to know that I know what works. He replied with “no promises but if it works, he will bring me back 10 years.” Well, he was wrong. Within 2 weeks I got back 20 and I can now keep my beloved “Gentleman’s Farm” that I was about to sell.Fantastic results and I would highly recommend Dr. Shaw to anyone with physical movement/pain. I may be lucky however I think it was his skills.

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 chiropractorsis the office's comprehensive approach to my treatment. For example, they recommended a magnesium supplement andstretches 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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

I first visited Dr. Shaw because I could not walk, the pain in my back unbearable. I went to the office in search of quick relief, because as a mom 3 I simply could not function like this. Well, I found so much more then relief of my back pain. In Dr. Shaw and Ati my family has found support and community. My 3 year old's stuttering has completely stopped as well as his constant strep infections, my 8 year old's ADHD is slowly but steadily improving, and he has over and over again guided us with medical choices surrounding my very physically active 14 year old. If you are looking for true health care, then you are in the right place. Dr. Shaw and Ati both care tremendously about all their patients, really listening to them. It is rare to find this level of care in a practice. My family and I are so grateful to have found them both! We all go in for weekly adjustments and we wouldn't have it any other way!

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!
