The holidays are a joyful time—but they can also bring extra stress, busy schedules, and changes in routine that affect both your physical and emotional well-being. At NOSS, we encourage you to take care of you this season, so you can enjoy the moments that matter most.
🧘‍♀️ Prioritize Movement
It’s easy to skip your usual exercise when the days get hectic, but even light activity—like walking after a meal or stretching between errands—can boost your energy, reduce tension, and keep your joints healthy.
🍎 Nourish Mindfully
Holiday treats are part of the fun, but balance them with nutrient-rich meals and plenty of water. Small choices, like staying hydrated and getting enough sleep, can make a big difference in how you feel.
💛 Protect Your Emotional Health
Between travel, family gatherings, and endless to-do lists, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Make time to slow down, connect with loved ones, and set realistic expectations for yourself. Remember: rest is productive too.
💪 Listen to Your Body
If you’re feeling pain, stiffness, or fatigue that doesn’t go away, don’t ignore it. Early evaluation can prevent minor discomfort from becoming something more serious. Our team at NOSS is here to help you stay active, balanced, and well all year long.

Cancer and its treatments can create a mix of physical and emotional challenges that affect daily life. Pain, nerve sensitivity, and fatigue are common, but you do not have to manage them on your own. Our pain management specialists work closely with your oncology team to deliver safe, personalized relief that supports your comfort and well-being.
Cancer-related pain can come from the disease itself, such as pressure on nerves or organs, or from treatment effects like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. When pain disrupts sleep, mobility, or emotional health, addressing it early becomes an essential part of your overall care.
The NOSS team uses advanced medical techniques and compassionate guidance to help reduce pain and improve quality of life. We provide targeted nerve blocks and injections for focused relief, medication strategies that reduce inflammation and nerve sensitivity, and minimally invasive procedures for pain that does not respond to other approaches. Throughout your care, we maintain close communication with your oncology team to ensure every step is coordinated and clear.
The goal is simple: to help you stay comfortable, maintain independence, and move through treatment with confidence and support from a team that puts your well-being first.
If you or a loved one is living with cancer-related pain, we’re here to help.

We see many patients who wait far too long to get help for what started as a small ache or stiff joint. Pain that lingers is often your body signaling that something needs attention, and early care can make all the difference.
Minor injuries that go untreated can turn into chronic pain, limited mobility, or long-term damage. When your body compensates for discomfort, it creates new stress points and a cycle of pain that becomes harder to treat over time.
Our surgeons, pain management specialists, and neurosurgeons work together to identify the true source of your pain and create a plan that supports real healing. Early evaluation helps you recover faster, avoid future injuries, and protect your long-term health.
If your pain is not improving, now is the right time to act. The NOSS team is here to help you move with comfort and confidence again.

Fall is a perfect season to get moving while enjoying the crisp air and vibrant foliage. Outdoor activities like hiking, walking, and biking allow you to soak up natural light while strengthening your cardiovascular system and building endurance. Even simple activities like raking leaves, gardening, or taking brisk walks around your neighborhood can help you stay active and burn extra calories.
For those who enjoy social activities, fall is a great time for group sports or recreational leagues such as soccer, flag football, or ultimate frisbee. These activities not only keep you moving but also provide a fun way to connect with friends and family while boosting mental well-being.
Indoor options are also excellent as the weather cools. Consider yoga, Pilates, or strength training to maintain flexibility, core strength, and balance. Short at-home workouts or gym sessions can complement your outdoor activities, keeping your body strong and prepared for winter. Even seasonal hobbies like apple picking, pumpkin carving, or hiking trails can be a form of enjoyable physical activity, helping you stay fit while embracing the season.
Staying active this fall isn’t just about exercise, it’s about creating habits that strengthen your body, improve mood, and support long-term health. Whether outside in the fresh air or inside focusing on strength and flexibility, moving your body regularly is key to feeling your best all season long.
