Back & Neck Arthritis Migraines Fibromyalgia

Pain is a signal. We find the source.

You've been managing pain, not treating it. We investigate inflammation, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances — the biology behind why you hurt.

Back & Neck Pain

Disc, nerve, muscular

Arthritis & Joint Pain

RA, OA, autoimmune

Migraines & Headaches

Tension, cluster, hormonal

Fibromyalgia

Widespread, chronic fatigue

What We Treat

Four pain patterns. One root-cause lens.

Back & Neck Pain

Chronic spinal pain isn't always structural. Inflammation, nutrient depletion, and nervous system dysregulation keep pain signals firing long after tissues heal.

Disc Pain Nerve Compression Muscle Tension

Arthritis & Joint Pain

Joint degeneration often accelerates because of systemic inflammation, not just wear-and-tear. We reduce the inflammatory load while supporting joint repair.

Rheumatoid Osteoarthritis Autoimmune

Migraines & Chronic Headaches

Migraines are neuroinflammatory events — not just "bad headaches." We trace triggers to food sensitivities, hormones, histamine, gut dysfunction, and magnesium depletion.

Tension Cluster Hormonal

Fibromyalgia & Widespread Pain

Fibromyalgia is real, measurable, and treatable. Central sensitization, gut dysbiosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction all play a role — and we address each one.

Central Sensitization Fatigue Sleep

Why You're Still in Pain

Five root causes everyone else ignores.

01

Systemic Inflammation

Elevated CRP, homocysteine, and pro-inflammatory cytokines keep your body in a chronic pain loop. We measure and lower them.

CRP Homocysteine Cytokines
02

Gut-Brain-Pain Axis

Dysbiosis and intestinal permeability trigger neuroinflammation that amplifies pain signals throughout the body.

Microbiome Leaky Gut
03

Nutrient Deficiencies

Magnesium, vitamin D, B vitamins, and omega-3 are critical for nerve function and inflammation control. Most patients are severely depleted.

Magnesium Vitamin D
04

Hormonal Imbalances

Elevated cortisol, low thyroid, and estrogen dominance all lower your pain threshold. If your hormones are off, pain tolerance drops and recovery stalls.

Cortisol Thyroid Estrogen
05

Central Sensitization

When your nervous system gets stuck in "alarm mode," even normal sensations register as pain. Stress, poor sleep, and chronic inflammation all fuel this amplified state.

Nervous System Sleep Stress

How We Treat

Five modalities. One integrated protocol.

Primary Modality

Acupuncture

Stimulates endorphin release, reduces inflammation, and resets pain signaling pathways. Evidence-based for chronic back pain, migraines, and arthritis. Dr. Newman specializes in pain-focused protocols.

All 4 Conditions

Modality 02

Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition

Customized elimination diets, food sensitivity removal, and anti-inflammatory meal plans. Food is often the most powerful pain intervention we have.

Modality 03

Targeted Supplementation

Curcumin, boswellia, magnesium, omega-3, and vitamin D — pharmaceutical-grade, dosed for clinical outcomes.

Modality 04

Botanical Medicine

White willow, devil's claw, and Corydalis work on the same pathways as pharmaceuticals — without the GI damage or dependency risk.

Modality 05

Nervous System Reset

Cortisol management, vagal tone exercises, and sleep restoration. Chronic pain rewires your nervous system — we help rewire it back.

A Different Approach

Conventional pain management vs. root-cause medicine.

Conventional

What you've been told

  • NSAIDs and muscle relaxants as first line
  • 10-minute visits, no root-cause investigation
  • "Your imaging looks fine" — dismissed
  • Steroid injections that wear off in weeks
  • No testing for inflammation, nutrients, or gut
  • "Learn to live with it"

Our Root-Cause Approach

What actually works

  • Comprehensive inflammatory marker testing
  • 75-90 minute visits with full health history
  • Gut, hormone, and nutrient panels
  • Acupuncture + anti-inflammatory protocols
  • Targeted supplementation for pain pathways
  • "Let's find out why and fix it"

Acupuncture for Pain

The most researched natural pain treatment in the world.

Acupuncture is recommended by the WHO, NIH, and American College of Physicians for chronic low back pain, migraines, and osteoarthritis. Dr. Newman specializes in pain-focused acupuncture protocols.

Take the First Step

Stop managing pain. Start resolving it.

Your first visit is 75–90 minutes. We'll review your full pain history, run the labs everyone else skipped, and build a protocol that targets the root cause — not just the symptoms.
