Dr. Mash is the man! He was recommended by a good friend of mine. I was hard headed and didn't go for a long time. Boy, do I regret that. From the first visit, I felt immediate results. He’s very methodical and thorough with his treatment. I went in for knee, back and shoulder pain, and I have had massive improvement on all three since I’ve started. The staff are very professional and personal and very easy to work with. I recommend Dr. Mash to anyone suffering any kind of pain. The only thing negative I have to say about Dr. Mash is…I love you Doc, but you need singing lessons! LOL All the best!

I have been going to see Dr. Mashner for many years. I went to Dr. Mashner because of shoulder pain it is completely gone. I had a stiff neck - he helped with that too. I had hip pain he realigned my spine. I had headaches they are gone. Every time I had a pain I would go see him for an adjustment and he could usually fix it in just one visit maybe 2. I would recommend that if you have pain from raking leaves, sleeping wrong, or falling and getting twisted you should see Dr. Mashner at least once. You will feel better. Monthly visits keeps your body aligned so it can function at its best.



I started having nutritional issues - He has helped me with sleeping at night and my mood swings through the nutritional program.

I have been going to Daphne Chiropractic Center for over 5 years. When I began treatment I could not even bend over to dry my legs after a shower. After a car accident I had headaches every single day for 45 years. After starting with Dr. Mashner I am headache free! and proud to say that with regular visits to Dr. Masher I can now lead a pretty normal life. He basically healed a cripple. The staff are the sweetest people in the world. They are farm, friendly and genuine. I consider Dr. Mashner and his staff as friends. I would recommend him highly.

I was refered to Daphne Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center by 2 friends who use the Center. Both gave glowing reports. I have been under chiropractic care, seeing Dr. Mashner, since December, 2011. The staff has treated me with courtesy, respect and concern for my overall health and wellness.



Since going for regular adjustments, my condition has improved beyond all of my expectations. After years of suffering spinal pain from an injury that orthopedic care did not improve, I chose chiropractic care as a last resort. Daphne Chiropractic Center should have been my first choice. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Mashner and his staff to anyone considering chiropractic care. They have worked a miracle for me.

I was very disappointed in my visit to the office. They were rude and arrogant. if you do not agree with everything the tell you they get very defensive. They treated me as if I was a child and a moron. I did not finish they visit. I walked out and would never go back or recommend they to any one.
