Saldivar Massage and Bodywork

Earthquake!!!

There is so much more to chiropractic than treating pain.

I just finished a shift shadowing an MD that does Platelet injections, and stem cells for non-surgical orthopedics. He also uses the shockwave just like I do. It was a great learning experience. As doctors we need to respect each other and learn from each others expertise.

🔥 The Power Duo: Chiropractic + Shockwave Therapy 🔥
By Dr. M. Ryan Saldivar, DC | 3 Waves Clinic, Berkeley

Chronic pain often lingers long after an injury—not because the body didn’t try to heal, but because scar tissue formed in a way that shortens, tightens, and locks in dysfunctional movement patterns.

This is where Shockwave Therapy + Chiropractic work together beautifully.

💥 Shockwave Therapy breaks up dense scar tissue, restores blood flow, lowers inflammation, and stimulates collagen production to accelerate healing in stubborn muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

🌊 Chiropractic care then restores alignment to the spine—the command center of your nervous system—so those healing signals can actually reach the tissues without interference.

When used together, these therapies:
✅ Unwind deep myofascial adhesions
✅ Improve oxygen and nutrient absorption in muscles
✅ Reboot your nervous system
✅ Reduce pain and stiffness
✅ Support long-term mobility and performance

Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, surgery, or long-term compensation patterns, this integrative approach is a game-changer.

Your spine is central. Your fascia is the network. Let’s get both aligned and activated so you can live pain-free and perform at your highest level.

It’s my birthday!!! So happy for my life.

Did you know that two common postural distortions—Upper Crossed Syndrome and Lower Crossed Syndrome—were first described by Czech neurologist Dr. Vladimir Janda? These imbalances often develop from too much sitting and not enough balanced movement, and over time, they can accelerate joint degeneration and disc wear in the spine, especially as we age.

Upper Crossed Syndrome creates a forward head, rounded shoulders, and tight chest, while Lower Crossed Syndrome leads to weak glutes and abs, tight hip flexors, and an exaggerated low back curve. To combat these patterns, it’s crucial to strengthen weak muscles and stretch overactive ones. Focus on exercises like bench press to support the chest (in balance), deadlifts and rows to build postural back strength, and squats, yoga bridges, and lunges to activate glutes, hamstrings, and open the hips. Integrating yoga to improve mobility and balance can transform posture, prevent pain, and slow spinal aging.
