Dr. Shaw on Pediatrics
As a parent and practitioner I understand how challenging infant and childhood health issues can be on a family. Recurrent health issues such as head and chest colds, sinus and ear infections, asthma, allergies, food sensitivities, ADHD, sleep and digestive issues are common among compromised immune systems. Pediatric health is highly responsive to chiropractic treatment. I work with parents and their children to fully understand their collective history and address chronic health issues. Many children are started on antibiotics at a very early age, which compromises their digestive systems and lends itself to a variety of food sensitivities and further health issues. Chiropractic is an alternative option that often provides vast relief in a completely non-pharmaceutical and non-invasive way.



Our Approach is tailored to fit the needs of kids

Many children come in to Newton Health & Wellness with a history of chronic infections treated by numerous courses of antibiotics. The premature neural and musculoskeletal systems of children are malleable and often highly responsive to chiropractic treatment.

Parents commonly come to Newton Health & Wellness with children suffering from:

  • Allergies
  • Asthma
  • ADD/ADHD
  • Bedwetting
  • Chronic Infections
 
  • Colic
  • Digestive Issues
  • Ear Infections
  • Flu
  • Food Intolerances
  • Growing Pains
  • Headaches/Migraines
  • Musculoskeletal Injuries
  • Respiratory infections
  • Scoliosis
  • Sinus Problems

Dr. Shaw’s pediatric assessment involves collecting a detailed account of both the child and the mother’s history. This includes pregnancy, delivery, and early childhood history, as well as the mother’s health history. From this point, Dr. Shaw assesses how to move forward, which might include testing for food sensitivities or allergies, as well as making dietary recommendations. He will also manually assess the child, and adapt his chiropractic adjustment to fit the child.

"Dr. Shaw has completely changed our lives. My son Hunter, 7 years old, had struggled with high fevers his entire life and was diagnosed with PFAPA. We tried steroids, colchicine, and even a T&A without relief. My son then went into an intense episode and had a fever for 3 months straight. He was completely falling apart. We went to infectious disease, rheumatologist, ENT, and an immunologist with no answers. We did vials and vials of blood work, x-rays, ultrasounds, and a failed MRI that lead to my son's extreme anxiety. And yet no answers. We walked into Dr. Shaw’s office and within an hour of leaving his office, my son was fever free. 2 months of his care and it's like a whole different kid emerged. He's full of energy and just enjoying life. His grades have gone up and he's flying through his work. He's able to focus better and have better clarity of thought. My son won't let any other doctor touch him now. We are truly grateful we found Dr. Shaw and Ati who have been so kind to our entire family."
