Neck, shoulder, or arm pain can slowly take over your day and make simple movements uncomfortable. At NOSS in Waterbury, Dr. Mashia focuses on identifying the root cause of pain early so it does not progress or interfere with mobility and daily life.
Dr. Mashia’s evaluations can be important for patients because no one wants to be rushed into surgery. We believe in surgery only as a last resort, and many non-surgical therapies such as acupuncture and chiropractic care can be extremely effective.
Through careful evaluation and hands-on chiropractic care, Dr. Mashia creates treatment plans that are focused, practical, and designed for lasting relief rather than short-term fixes. Patients appreciate the time he takes to listen, explain what is happening in their body, and guide them through each step of care.
If pain is limiting your ability to move comfortably, Dr. Mashia and the NOSS team are here to help you get back to feeling stronger, more mobile, and confident in your care. To request an appointment, Call 203-755-6677 or visit nossmd.com today.

Time spent with family is often where comfort, connection, and joy take shape. When pain or limited movement interrupts those moments, it becomes harder to participate fully in the activities that bring people together. Ignoring these symptoms can make them worse over time and may lead to long-term problems that affect both your health and your relationships.
Caring for your body is an important part of protecting the time you share with the people who matter most. Pain that keeps you from sitting comfortably at dinner, lifting a child, joining a weekend outing, or simply relaxing at home deserves careful attention. Early evaluation helps identify what is causing your discomfort and prevents small issues from growing into larger ones that interfere with daily life.
At NOSS, your care is guided by a team of surgeons, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who work together to provide clear answers and thoughtful recommendations. Advanced imaging supports precise diagnosis, and every step of your care is coordinated to feel smooth, supportive, and easy to understand. This approach helps you stay focused on what matters most while we focus on the details of your treatment.
When you feel better, you are able to be more present with your family. You can move with greater ease, participate more fully, and enjoy the moments that strengthen your connections. If pain is limiting the time you share with loved ones, a focused evaluation at NOSS can help you move forward with clarity and comfort.
If you are experiencing pain that interferes with your quality of life, seek the guidance of a world-class expert at NOSS. Request an appointment today by calling 203-755-6677 or visit nossmd.com.

The start of a new year is often a moment to reset your routine and focus on feeling stronger, more comfortable, and more in control of your health. When aches, stiffness, or lingering pain go unchecked, they can turn simple goals like exercising more or improving daily habits into frustrating obstacles. Addressing these issues early helps prevent them from becoming long-term problems and supports a healthier, more active year ahead.
A healthy start begins with paying attention to the signals your body sends. Persistent back or neck pain, joint discomfort, hand numbness, or pain that interrupts sleep are signs that something deeper may be happening. When these symptoms are evaluated promptly, you gain clarity about what is causing them and what steps can protect your mobility and overall well-being.
At NOSS, your care begins with a clear, focused evaluation and advanced imaging when needed. Our surgeons, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants work together to provide precise diagnoses and straightforward guidance. You receive coordinated, multidisciplinary care that makes the process feel organized, supportive, and easy to follow. This approach helps you build a strong foundation for the year by addressing the issues that limit movement, drain energy, or disrupt daily routines.
Starting the year with simple, consistent habits can also support long-term health. Paying attention to posture, taking brief movement breaks during the day, and easing into new exercise routines can help protect your spine and joints. Staying aware of pain that lingers or worsens allows you to seek care before the problem advances.
If improving your health is part of your resolutions, our team is ready to help you begin with confidence. A thoughtful, timely evaluation at NOSS can bring the clarity you need to move into the new year with strength, comfort, and a clear plan forward.
