"When I first came to Newton Health and Wellness I was having difficulty breathing.  I had been diagnosed with Bronchitus for six months.  I had been on nine different antibiotics and was in and out of the emergency room every week.  After seeing Dr. Shaw consistently I started noticing changes.  I was no longer in need of a nebulizer or inhalers.  Besides my breathing getting better I noticed other changes too.  I was happier and healthier than before I ever go Bronchitus.  I felt more involved in my own health and my son's. Being around Dr. Shaw and Ati helped me to make significant permanent changes in my life.  Their level of care and commitment to health gives me hope for the future."

"My journey began in March of 2005. I watched a movie called Supersize Me. It made me see what fast food really does to your body. I always thought the perfect lunch was 20 chicken pieces with sauce. I was so wrong! So, I began frequenting my local co-op in search of a better way. I realized after many years of bad eating habits, I needed to change my ways. Finding the co-op was a good start. I met many interesting and knowledgeable people there. I met a woman who worked for a chiropractor in town named Dr. Shaw. In October of that year, I began treatments with Dr. Shaw to alleviate some pain from my extra weight. By the end of the year I felt a bit better, but had only lost 10 pounds. New Year's Day came around and I wanted some real direction to help lose more weight. I turned to Dr. Shaw's office for help. I was referred to a naturopathic doctor named Dr. Konior. He had confidence he could help me lose a lot more weight. I was so thankful for an alternative to gastric bypass surgery. His approach is a balancing of your body's chemistry using supplements, and good nutrition, to make your body function at peak performance. I began treatments was Dr. Konior in January of 2006 and have consistently lost 10 pounds every month since. A grand total of 119 pounds. I have worked hard and followed my doctor's advice. I exercise now and honestly feel like a new person. I dropped 10 dress sizes. I have so much thanks to give to all the wonderful people who work with and for Dr. Shaw and who continue to support me to this day."

"I have suffered with sciatic pain for more than 3 years, tried cortisone shots and other treatmnets but they were not successful. Right now I am controlling the pain with medication, a condition I would like to decrease. Under the care of Dr. Kevin Shaw at Newton Health and Wellness I completed IDD therapy and am now receiving other treatments. I continue to notice vast improvement and recently have returned to golfing for the first time in a very long time."

"I would like to write a tribute to the staff at Newton Health and Wellness, namely Dr. Kevin Shaw, chiropractic physician, his wife Ati and massage therapist Maggie.

When I came there I could barely walk, stricken with bulging discs, sciatica, arthritis, scoliosis, and intense shoulder pain. I had previously been told that spinal surgery was my best hope. Not wanting this choice, I tried physical therapy, pain management, epidurals and medications. None of these really helped. I was still in pain and had very limited mobility.

I heard about Newton Health and Wellness on the radio and decided to give it a try. The experience from the very beginning was nothing but a positive one. The atmosphere is very calming and the continued encouragement from the staff has been magnificent.

Through chiropractic treatment and the use of the IDD machine, which gently stretches the spine, and the deep tissue massage my pain has been considerably lessened and my mobility has almost completely returned.

The journey of course, is not a short one. But with Dr. Shaw's unending patience, encouragement, and complete knowledge of my health needs, I have managed to overcome much of my pain and discomfort. I am committed to moving forward with this treatment as are so many of the people I have met there. Everyone I have spoken to when we await our turn at treatment has remarked how much Dr. Shaw has helped them.

So if you are experience back, shoulder, neck, or any other pain or discomfort and wish to avoid surgery, you would do well to consider this facility. Here you will also learn a whole concept of health and wellness unmatched. I cannot say enough about my experience at Newton Health and Wellness."

"I have had various foot problems for the past ten years of my life. Treatments and surgery have corrected these issues until the present. My orthopedic and podiatrist did not really have an answer to my pain, I was desperate for relief. I responded to an ad from Dr. Shaw about healing with light. I made an appointment and had a good consultation. Now two and a half months into treatment and adjustments I am very close to being back to normal again, totally pain free. I believe Dr. Shaw and his staff will have much success now and in the future."

"I have been coming to Dr. Shaw since 1996. After almost fifteen years I am still coming back consistently. He has always been able to remedy my problems from sports injuries to work related injuries. Additionally his staff has always treated me like family and I feel so at home in their incredibly beautiful wellness center. If you are looking for a truly religious experience you must get a massage from Maggie at Newton Health and Wellness. The addition of the new training studio is wonderful, the equipment is top of the line and the privacy is refreshing.  I refer everyone to Newton Health and Wellness and I will continue to do so!" - J.S.

"I started coming to see Dr. Shaw when i was 13. I began treatment for headaches. I stopped having headaches, and I continue to come see him, I am now twenty and my symptoms are non-existent . The facility and the staff are welcoming and wonderful in all aspects. I could not ask for a calmer environment or a more knowledgeable staff who helps me to continue to lead a healthy life. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Shaw and the entire Newton Health and Wellness facility." - M. N.

"Newton Health and Wellness has been the most exceptional, quality care i have ever received. I started chiropractic in order to remedy my back troubles. I have maintained care for well over a year, and not only is my back in much better condition, but my allergies are gone as well. When you walk through the door you are treated with kindness, and that extends throughout the treatment. I highly recommend NHW to anyone." -K. R.

My whole family's health has improved with Dr. Shaw's guidance. Life is good...get the best care!" - H.S.
