​​Individuals with complex or uncommon symptoms often struggle to find answers, even at prestigious academic medical centers. Several factors contribute to this:
​​
-
Standardized Medical Care: Most clinical practices require doctors of physical therapy to see numerous patients each hour and each day in quick succession, often with the support of an assistant or aide. While this may be appropriate for some patients, it often limits the thoroughness of a patient's history and physical examination, the depth of exploration into relevant medical literature, and the extent of contemplation for challenging cases.
-
Lack of Diagnostic Specialists: ​​​There is a significant gap in the medical field due to the limited number of providers specializing in diagnosing complex medical cases and prescribing plans of care that address the root causes of these conditions. Dr. Newton aims to address this critical need through her distinctive and individualized approach, ensuring that each patient receives the thorough and expert diagnostic attention they require.
-
Disruption in Continuity of Care: Physical therapists often have different credentials and areas of expertise, leading to challenges in achieving continuity of care across the profession. This variation can affect the consistency and coherence of treatment approaches, potentially impacting patient outcomes.
-
Lack of Integrated Approaches: Dr. Newton employs an integrated approach, working directly with patients or providing appropriate recommendations to align them with the most suitable care team. This approach may include supporting a patient's current allopathic pharmaceutical-based plan of care while integrating holistic methods. She focuses on taking on no more than three patients or case studies at a time and dedicates tens to hundreds of hours to each case. Learn more about her core values and approach here.

Lack of Holistic and Natural-Based Medicine: There is also a lack of healthcare providers using holistic and natural-based medicine approaches due to the overwhelming influence of pharmaceutical companies within the healthcare system. These companies often require doctors to follow allopathic-driven plans of care. Dr. Newton counters this trend by incorporating holistic and natural-based treatments into her practice, providing patients with comprehensive care options that address the root causes of their conditions.
