Trestles Chiropractic

Chiropractic, Acupuncture & Therapeutic Massage in San Clemente

by Victoria Kurtz

South Orange County families in search of holistic health solutions have a new reason to visit Trestles Chiropractic in San Clemente. Dr. Ryan, known for his commitment to patientcentered care for over 12 years, has recently expanded the practice’s offerings with the perfect addition: acupuncture.

The office now welcomes Vina, a skilled acupuncturist who brings a unique expertise to the practice. Currently available twice a week at the Camino de los Mares office, Vina specializes in a Japanese-style of acupuncture that new patients often find less intimidating. This gentler approach uses fewer needles and penetrates the skin more shallowly, offering a calming and comfortable experience. Notably, she has had tremendous success treating clients with Bell’s Palsy, a neurological condition that causes sudden, temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face.

Among the most in-demand services at Trestles is therapeutic massage. The practice boasts a team of three massage therapists whose more than 50 years of combined experience is so highly sought after that appointments are often booked a month in advance. The wait is worth it. Young athletes rely on these sessions to soothe and lengthen tight muscles, enhancing performance and speeding up recovery. Pregnant women also find comfort and relief in the office’s specialized prenatal massage offerings. These therapeutic massages are far from spa-like relaxation; they’re medically focused treatments that blend deep tissue and sports massage techniques to address specific physical conditions.

Dr. Ryan emphasizes the value of having multiple disciplines under one roof. “One of the biggest benefits of having massage services in my office is that I can go talk to them and explain exactly what the patient needs,” he says. “That direct access to communication is important.” This collaborative approach ensures every patient receives care that is not only expert, but also highly coordinated, personalized and convenient.

Chiropractic services are provided by both Dr. Ryan and Dr. Sydney, who has been a part of the practice for more than two years. They offer a wide range of adjustments and techniques, tailoring every plan to meet the individual needs of their patients. Dr. Sydney, in particular, is known for her gentle touch, and she frequently sees Medicare patients as well as those dealing with foot pain. She has developed a strong reputation for treating conditions like Morton’s neuroma and plantar fasciitis—painful conditions in the feet or heels—using warm laser therapy to reduce inflammation and speed healing. She also administers the majority of the practice’s laser treatments, which are ideal for relieving symptoms related to arthritis, tendonitis and sports injuries.

“Dr. Sydney brings a lot of herself to the practice,” Dr. Ryan adds. She’s also recognized for her expertise in kinesiology taping and her use of instrument-assisted soft tissue techniques, similar to the Graston method. These specialized tools and skills are particularly helpful for treating the growing number of pickleball-related injuries and other sports trauma common in the area.

Patients suffering from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can also find relief at Trestles. TMJ issues often lead to jaw pain, headaches, difficulty chewing, and even neck or shoulder tension. The team uses a combination of gentle chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapies to relieve pressure and restore alignment, helping patients find longlasting comfort and improved function.

If you’ve been wondering whether a chiropractor or acupuncturist could help you, fall is a great time to explore your options. Consultations are available, and new patients are always welcome. “People really appreciate the fact that we’re open until 7 p.m. on most weekdays,” says Dr. Ryan. The office is also open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., making it easy to schedule care around school, work or other commitments.
