The Future Of Active Living

Advanced Center For Sports & Musculoskeletal Medicine

KEEPING PATIENTS IN MOTION.
The Advanced Center for Sports & Musculoskeletal Medicine helps patients overcome injuries, reduce pain and return to the activities that matter most. With an emphasis on nonsurgical orthopedic and sports medicine care, the practice combines advanced diagnostics, innovative treatments and individualized care for conditions affecting the muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and spine.

From competitive athletes and weekend warriors to those simply hoping to move more comfortably, the goal is to restore function and keep patients active.

A REGENERATIVE APPROACH
An important part of the practice is its S.O.A.R. regenerative medicine program, which focuses on orthobiologics — biologic treatments that support the body’s natural healing and repair processes. S.O.A.R. takes a team approach, bringing together a sports physician, registered dietitian and chiropractor/physical therapist to support each patient’s recovery. Treatments may include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow concentrate, with image-guided procedures precisely targeting areas of injury or degeneration.

This approach provides additional nonsurgical options tailored to each patient’s needs, goals and activity level.

EXPANDING EXPERTISE WITH DR. MELANIE WORLEY
Double board-certified in sports medicine and emergency medicine, Dr. Melanie Worley brings specialized expertise in interventional orthopedics and orthobiologics to the practice. Her advanced fellowship training allows her to perform image-guided regenerative procedures for conditions affecting the arms, legs and spine — expanding the center’s treatment capabilities.

Dr. Worley’s expertise includes musculoskeletal ultrasound, image-guided procedures and orthobiologic treatments such as PRP and bone marrow concentrate. She also teaches and lectures nationally in these areas.

Together, the Advanced Center for Sports & Musculoskeletal Medicine and its S.O.A.R. program combine sports medicine, nonsurgical orthopedic care and regenerative medicine to help patients regain function, remain active and get back to doing what they love.

At Veterinary Medical and Surgical Group (VMSG-OC) in San Juan Capistrano, they have built a team of experienced, compassionate veterinarians and board-certified specialists that offer their clients an extension to their primary care veterinarians. Together, they provide specialty and emergency veterinary care for pets in Orange County.

The mission of VMSG-OC is to provide state-of-the-art medical care and exceptional service to both their clients and referring veterinarians. They proudly serve pet owners and veterinarians by providing advanced level services and procedures not generally offered in family veterinary practices.

Elise P., a recent client, shared a “happy tail” from her recent VMSG-OC visit: “The staff was very detailed discussing my dog’s surgery. They called as she was going into surgery and updated me soon after she was done. Great communication.”

Any time pet owners cannot reach their primary care veterinarian, VMSG-OC is available to help with 24/7 emergency services. Their San Juan Capistrano veterinarians are specially trained in emergency medicine, and a board-certified critical care veterinarian treats pets with life threatening conditions.

VMSG-OC is staffed with expert veterinarians and board-certified specialists who provide advanced care for all of a pet’s medical needs. The staff includes Sebastian Mejia, a small-animal specialist and advanced orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Tim Menghini specializes in soft tissue, surgical oncology and reconstructive procedures. Emergency care services are provided by Drs. Courtney Mantecon, Monique Mongeau, and Mercedes Baeza.

VMSG-OC is staffed with highly-qualified veterinarians and board-certified specialists. Each of their veterinarians has completed at least three years of additional training beyond veterinary school and has passed rigorous examinations. The team at VMSG-OC welcomes referrals from local primary care veterinarians who would like to refer a patient to their hospital for emergency or specialty care.

VMSG-OC was designed to meet pets’ specialty and emergency needs. They pride themselves in using the latest in veterinary care to provide the most complete and exceptional service possible at their state-of-the-art hospital.

Trestles Chiropractic

RYAN ANDERSON, DC

Trestles Chiropractic has been serving the community for 13 years, and continues to provide the ultimate modern chiropractic care. Dr. Anderson and Dr. Sydney are committed to delivering pain relief, but they ultimately want to see you thrive. They believe the first step in the treatment process is listening to their patients in order to determine the origin of each ache and pain.

Life events, traumas, and past injuries can all wreak havoc on a body, so open communication helps to formulate the most impactful treatments and suggest realistic lifestyle changes to prevent further pain. After a complimentary consultation, patients can sign up for an initial examination, which includes a set of fully digital X-rays, performed on-site. The practice saves patients time and money by eliminating the drive to an imaging center. Trestles Chiropractic has the ability to offer test results within just a few minutes. Once Dr. Ryan or Dr. Sydney have reviewed the X-rays, their hands-on work can safely begin.

Treatments offered by the physicians at Trestles are as varied and unique as the conditions they address. When it comes to spinal adjustments, Trestles utilizes the diversified technique, which involves using manual pressure to restore proper movement. Traditional and state-of-the-art chiropractic devices provide lower force techniques for patients with conditions like osteoporosis. Laser therapy is also available for those suffering from joint and soft tissue injuries.

Dr. Ryan says massage therapy is one of the most effective treatments for repetitive stress disorders, pelvic instability, and shoulder injuries resulting from vehicle collisions. He has a team of massage therapists with 40 years of combined experience to specifically treat these patients. Dr. Ryan feels that true therapeutic massage with a doctor’s input lets two sets of hands diagnose or track an injury, even if that injury resulted from an incident that took place years ago.

“Pain is the last symptom to show up. If you just threw out your back, that didn’t just happen. That was the ‘last straw’ that resulted from something else,” he says. If you want to avoid future pain, consider chiropractic treatment as a preventative measure, before symptoms arise.

Athletes flock to Dr. Ryan’s office for pre-competition adjustments or post-injury healing. “We see a lot of golfers,” he says. They also treat many youth soccer and water polo players, as well as new pickleball enthusiasts suffering from sprains, strains, and shoulder impingement.

Whether you want to stay in form for pickleball or just want relief from pain and discomfort, Trestles Chiropractic has a treatment solution for you. Call today to schedule a complimentary consultation at 949-284-6620 or visit TrestlesChiropractic.com.

Rivi Endo

TYLER DAVIS, DMD, MS

ROOTED IN SAN CLEMENTE, SPECIALIZED IN SAVING TEETH
For Tyler Davis, DMD, MS, being an endodontist is about more than treating teeth—it’s about relieving pain, treating infection and helping patients save their natural teeth.

A fourth-generation dentist and founder of Rivi Endo, Dr. Davis has dedicated his practice to one specialty: endodontics, the diagnosis and treatment of problems inside the tooth.

“I love being able to serve the community where we live,” says Dr. Davis. “Whether someone is in pain, has suffered a dental injury or needs a root canal, our goal is to help them feel comfortable, get them out of pain and save their tooth whenever possible.”

WHY A SPECIALIST?
While general dentists provide a broad range of dental care, endodontists complete additional specialty training focused specifically on diagnosing tooth pain, treating infection and performing root canal therapy.

That specialization matters. Dr. Davis combines extensive experience with technology designed specifically for endodontic care, including 3D Cone Beam CT imaging, a high-magnification Zeiss operating microscope and ultrasonics. Together, these tools allow him to visualize complex anatomy, identify the source of pain and treat areas inside a tooth that can be difficult to see.

Dr. Davis has also published peer-reviewed research on cone-beam technology in the Journal of Endodontics.

SAVING TEETH WHEN IT MATTERS MOST
Dr. Davis has served San Clemente and surrounding communities since 2021, helping local patients with severe toothaches, dental infections, root canals and traumatic dental injuries.

In an active coastal community where sports, surfing and e-bikes are part of everyday life, dental injuries happen. Prompt specialist care can help save an injured tooth.

COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION
For Dr. Davis, practicing in San Clemente is personal. He enjoys caring for local families in the community where his children are growing up. He takes time to listen, ease concerns and help patients feel comfortable. Fluent in Spanish, he connects with a broader range of patients. Rivi Endo brings together his passion for endodontics and commitment to the community.

Rejuven8

GREG A. BROWN, MD
FEEL GOOD. LOOK GREAT. LIVE WELL.

At Rejuven8 in Dana Point, wellness is personal. The team has created a space where clients can care for how they look, how they feel, and how they function at every stage of life. Bringing together medical expertise, modern aesthetics, and a passion for regenerative wellness, Rejuven8 offers care shaped around each person’s goals.

Medical Director Greg A. Brown, MD, brings more than 44 years of medical experience to the practice. An internist in San Clemente, he began working in aesthetics in 2002 with laser hair removal and later trained in Botox with Dr. Jean Carruthers, a pioneer in its cosmetic use. He is joined by Dr. Alexander Aponte-Davila, a naturopathic physician and Dana Point resident. Together, they bring complementary perspectives to personalized care.

For founder Phil Brown, Rejuven8 grew from a belief that people deserve a more complete approach to their health. “After years of working in the medical industry, I noticed that preventive care wasn’t always given the attention it deserved. I wanted to create a place that cares for the whole person, inside and out.”

That philosophy carries through the services at Rejuven8. Clients can explore aesthetic treatments such as customized facials, RF microneedling, IPL photofacials, dermaplaning, AquaFacials, Botox, and fillers. The practice also offers hormone health services, IV therapy, and peptide protocols, alongside body and skin treatments including NOUVADerm, laser hair reduction, AquaFirme scalp and skin treatments, and body contouring. Every plan begins with a conversation about the client’s needs and goals.

CELEBRATE ONE YEAR OF REJUVEN8
Rejuven8 invites the community to its first anniversary celebration on Friday, October 9, from 3–7 p.m. Join the team for raffles, educational discussions, and anniversary service specials.
