Dr. Saddik recently was on hand at two local CrossFit Next Level Invitational. This video is one of Dr. Saddiks patients competing in the Masters Class – garnering an impressive Top 10 finish! This was the athletes 3rd workout of the day and they were to perform 10 Air Squats, 15 Pull, as many as possible in 7 minutes. The patient was seeing Dr. Saddik for shoulder complaints for many weeks prior, yet with treatment, was able to perform well during the CrossFit Next Level Invitational (NLI’s).

Dr. Saddik regularly attends CrossFit events with his clients (Including Dave Jalbert of CrossFit Insanity Irvine) shown above.

ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

A Key Link in the Locomotor System: The Upper-Thoracic Spine

By Craig Liebenson, DC and Brett Winchester, DC, FASBE(C), DAAPM, DAAMLP

With chiropractic backgrounds rooted in motion palpation and functional rehabilitation, we have observed that the upper-thoracic spine may be the most commonly restricted area in the locomotor system.

This restriction of multiple segments (C7-T5) is likely related to cervical disc herniations; degenerative changes at the lower cervical spine; shoulder impingement and rotator-cuff pathologies; and low back pain.

In Len Faye’s classic text, Motion Palpation and Chiropractic Technique, the distinction between primary and secondary fixations is made. Primary fixations usually present the most significant restrictions in the locomotor system and should take priority over other fixations, no matter where patients express pain.1 We conclude, based on our years of treating patients, that primary restrictions frequently show up at the cervical-thoracic joint and other transitional areas of the spine. All editions of Karel Lewit’s text Manipulative Therapy in Rehabilitation of the Locomotor System support this view.

Dr. Saddik and Greg Faunce from OCTrainer show how amazing and painless Chiropractic and Active Release Treatment are for performance and health.

Dr. John Saddik gives a great presentation on how Active Release Treatment and Chiropractic form a critical part of any athletes (or just normal peoples) regime, and treats Greg through a whole session.

Greg, and several of his clients, have had amazing results with ART and Chiropractic care with Dr. John Saddik, so we thought it time to video a therapy session; Dr. Saddik is very articulate and knowledgeable and shares some really useful information. It’s a long video, but we really hope to show how effective this is, as well as how painless – many people are just a bit afraid of this for no reason at all!

From ABC7 Los Angeles: “Medical experts say at least 80 percent of us will have some sort of back pain at some point in our lives. And when your back goes out, the first thought is to take pain meds and lie down, but that might not be the case.

Bud Alvarez had such bad back pain he couldn’t stand sitting at his desk all day.

“It was really unbearable. It was terrible,” said Alvarez”
