Dr. Newton uses a wide variety of pain management techniques to address pain and painful disorders. In spine and musculoskeletal cases, pain management is employed as an alternative to surgery as part of an aggressive conservative care program, or after surgery to cope with residual or resistant pain. Pain management and the techniques it uses also help to identify the source of neck and back pain, determine the areas to be addressed surgically, and rehabilitate the patient after surgery.

Physiatry is the branch of medicine that deals with restoring function for a person who has been disabled as a result of a disease, disorder, or injury. As a physiatrist, Dr. Newton will coordinate the rehabilitative needs of the patient, to promote a better overall outcome. He treats the whole person, not just the condition, restoring as much function and independence as possible. Dr. Newton helps patients recovering from sports injuries, accidents, spinal cord injury, stroke, amputations, and arthritis, and patients with chronic pain issues.
