Functional Medicine
Our functional medicine approach identifies and addresses underlying causes of chronic health issues. Through comprehensive assessments and personalized treatment plans, we target gut imbalances, hormonal disruptions, and immune system dysfunctions. Patients benefit from science-based interventions that promote long-term wellness rather than temporary symptom relief.
Chiropractic Services
Comprehensive chiropractic adjustments complement our gut health protocols by improving nervous system function. This integrative approach enhances the body's natural healing capacity, addressing musculoskeletal issues that often accompany digestive disorders. Our techniques promote better communication between the gut and brain for holistic wellness.
Gut Health Consultations
Specialized consultations assess gut microbiome health, food sensitivities, and digestive function. We use advanced diagnostic tools to create targeted treatment plans for conditions like leaky gut and irritable bowel syndrome. Our consultations include ongoing support for implementing dietary and lifestyle changes.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans address specific gut health needs while considering individual dietary requirements. Our counseling sessions focus on healing foods, elimination diets, and sustainable eating patterns. Patients receive practical guidance for implementing nutritional changes that support overall wellness.
Holistic Healing
Our holistic approach integrates mind-body therapies with clinical treatments to restore systemic balance. This includes stress management techniques, lifestyle modifications, and complementary therapies that support the body's natural healing processes for chronic health conditions.

Report
Although l live in Michigan, no trip to the Mobile area is complete without a visit to the Daphne Chiropractic Center. Dr. Mashner is very thorough and gets to the root cause of my subluxation(s). l always leave his office feeling better than when l entered. Over the past five decades, l have been treated by over twenty different chiropractors in seven states. Several of those doctors are excellent, but Dr. Mashner is, by far, the best!!! l would give him ten stars out of five. THANK YOU, DR. MASHNER!

I was referred to Dr. Mashner after having been to several other chiropractors with moderate success. That all changed with my first appointment. Dr. Mashner is skilled and thorough; the results were immediate. After my physical complaints improved dramatically, I chose to have a nutrition response testing. I had
suffered for years with digestive issues, including weight loss and pain.
Dr. Mashner diagnosed parasites and had me do a 4 month parasite cleanse plus take some supplements specific to my body's needs. Within a few weeks there was great improvement. I began to digest food, which meant

The doctor is great. I am now feeling my fingers without tingling and numbness for the first time in almost two years. My back and neck are moving better than they have in years. The office staff is pleasant and efficient. I would recommend to anyone.
