Rivera Chiropractic Group

Dr. Matt’s adjustments are the best! I’ve seen at least a dozen other chiros, but Dr. Matt is the best for getting down deep adjustments where others felt more like just a little poking and prodding. He is also very active/​sports minded and knows how to keep the active type up and running.

I am so happy that I stopped by and set up an appointment with Yu to treat my injury. The staff (Monica) was very accommodating me to fit my schedule. Yu was very engaging and supportive and answered all my questions. She was detailed in what she was doing which is nice given the treatment being provided. The adjustments she made gave instant relief and proceeded to adjust other needed areas too. She gave good tips for additional home treatment and I feel so much better. I’ll definitely return.

This office is the best from the moment you walk in the front door, to the moment you walk out. The front desk staff are very friendly and caring to everyone that comes in. I brought my 12 year old daughter in to see Matt with an ankle injury/​sprain from playing volleyball. The orthopedist told us it would be at least 6 weeks of recovery for her. After 3 weeks of no improvement in her pain level what so ever, we decided to go see Matt for cold laser therapy and he recommended doing an adjustment. My daughter had been at a level ⁶⁄₇ pain for weeks and 2 hours after seeing Matt she was down to a 4. By the next morning she was a 3. She is already back to playing volleyball! I highly recommend Matt for any injuries, but especially sports injuries. He is incredible with kids, and their nervous and stressed parents!

What a great experience! It can be difficult to find a good chiropractic practice and I’m glad the search is over.
The staff was great and the results are amazing. I couldn’t ask for an institution to operate more efficient or effectively.
Thank you so much for your swift and professional work.

Matt deserves 6+ stars!
I found Matt one day while I was Driving by his office. I was in a lot of pain and out of the blue I saw a River Chiropractic Group sign on a very professional looking building and decided to stop and try yet another chiropractor. I went through 6 chiropractors over 2 pain filled years with zero success.
That morning my pain level was at a 10! As I walked in their front door I was praying to any god that would listen to please let this chiropractor be the one to help me with my pain. I was starting to believe that I would have to learn to live with this pain forever. I was willing to try anything for some pain relief. Anyone out there with severe sciatica pain knows how debilitating it can be.
Matt’s staff signed me in and Matt gave me a physical, asked me many questions and reviewed the x-​rays with me. (X-​ray machine on site !!!). I had a severely kinked and twisted L4/​5. Matt put me in a very nice room lying face down on a massage table with a heavy hot damp pad on my back and left me there resting for @ 30 minutes. When Matt walked in and started to adjust me I was nervous; I was in a lot of pain and this large Mike Ditka looking man was putting me into some very odd positions. When Matt released the pressure in my L4/​5 my eyes started to water up with emotion. I was finally free of the pressure and pain in my lower back after 2 YEARS!
Matt told me that moving forward I would need 3 visits a week for 2 weeks, 2 visits a week for 2 weeks, and 1 visit a week for 2 weeks to fix my issue. Matt’s explanation that muscles have a memory and they need to re-​learn their proper positions sounded logical to me so I booked the appointments.
After my second appointment I was completely sold on Matt Rivera. Each appointment made me stronger and feel/​sleep better. I also highly recommend doing acupuncture after the adjustments.
During my adjustments Matt educated me on what to look out for in the future and how to avoid my particular L4/​5 issues. This amazed me, Matt truly wanted me to be pain free and not string me along to make money on my pain. I have had a few small flare ups over the past 7 years but with the education I received and Matt’s techniques I was pain free almost immediately. I would also like to say that Matt’s ability to relieve pain is more than a technique. He has a special gift of knowing exactly where your pain is and how hard to push, pull, and twist to get the results he needs.
I am very lucky to have stumbled into the Rivera Chiropractic Group that day. Matt has truly changed my life. He gave me back quality of life when I had given up on being pain free.

I love, love, love, LOVE this place. I am a big fan. If you’re in pain, don’t even bother going anywhere else. Save your money, time, and body. Go here first.

You would not know it to look at my somewhat overweight, out-​of-​shape physique, but I have extremely flexible joints and can be very difficult to adjust if the chiropractor is a smaller-​framed person. Dr. Rivera came highly recommended by a good friend of mine who was greatly helped by Dr. Rivera. The adjustments he makes are both effective and surprisingly gentle, and needless to say the severe sciatica I had in now in remission. The doctor and staff never try to upsell me or anything like that — a totally AWESOME experience from start to finish!
Thank you to Dr Rivera and his caring staff for chiropractic care that is totally worth driving all the way from Sunnyvale to receive!

I came into Dr. Rivera’s practice back in May 2015. I came in because I had lower back pain and it was sending a cramp down my left glute all the way to my hamstring. My job at the time consisted of standing all day and so this pain was definitely hard to tolerate. I explained my symptoms so the doctor did an x-​ray and showed me that my hips were not aligned and that’s what was causing my pain. After receiving a nice relaxing massage Dr. Rivera adjusted me and I immediately felt better. I came in to see him a total of three times and my back has never felt better. He recommended I buy a pair of insoles and I did. I said Bye-​bye to back pain forever. His staff working the front is so sweet and everyone there makes you feel comfortable. If you have any type of back pain please go see Dr. Rivera so he finds out what exactly is wrong with you and he will fix you! Thank you Dr. Rivera!

Dr. Rivera has to be the best chiropractor on the peninsula… hands down!
Knowledgable, professional, and empathetic to a patient’s pain. His staff exemplifies the definition of professionalism at its best.
If you have pain caused my misalignment of the spine… don’t spend one more second with the discomfort… call this man asap!

Fantastic establishment! I’ve been going here for years because Dr. Rivera can fix any issues with my achy back and that’s priceless to me. The staff is also very kind!

I came here yesterday and literally i was walking so hard and was afraid to move to side. I workout and into some different sports but never been to chiropractor before and i was afraid but this was awesome and doctor Matt Rivera he was so great and generous person ever. I recommend this place to anyone who has issue w their neck or back pain problem and im sure that i’ll be back for other treatments!

«Weight of the world on my shoulders» NOT after my visit with Dr. Matt. I left with my neck 1000X’s better. I was in tears when I arrived. HE is amazing you got to get into his place before going anywhere else. glad I did! See you again Dr. MATT and huge Thank you.

I saw Dr. Rivera when I was about 7 months pregnant. I was in a lot of pain and could hardly walk. It turns out I had a pinched scistic nerve. After seeing him for about a week I felt so much better! I had seen my regular doctor before and they couldn’t do anything about it just suggested physical therapy. I am so glad I found Dr. Rivera. Not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t seen him.

My family have been going here for years. Dr. Rivera is wonderful. He does a great job with back adjustments. My son, just went in on Friday for a back adjustment and is feeling great.
Dr. Rivera takes the time to listens to your problems and gives great suggestions. If your looking for a chiropractor that will help you with your aches and pains he is certainly one you want to see.

This is to update. My mom was in so much pain coming to visit from another county. She has been worried and scared to see a chiropractor for her herniated discs. (Her doctor told her not to see a chiropractor)
Finally I convinced her to go see Dr. Rivera and within 3 visits she was 60% better!!! No joke! She was able to walk and eventually tried acupuncture with Dr. Chen and with both of these doctors for 3 visits she was feeling so good that she stopped taking her pain medication.
Thank you Dr. rivera and Dr. Chen. When my mom comes back she will be seeing you again!

Dr. Rivera is personable, friendly, and an amazing chiropractor. I have been to Dr. River multiple times over the past few years. The first visit was recommended by my Father who has been a patient of Dr. Rivera’s for 20 years. I injured my back playing basketball. I was bed ridden. So My father recommended I see Dr. Rivera. I visited him a few times over the next week and was able to return to work at full capacity. I am a massage therapist so I have a physical demanding job. From not being able to walk to back to work in a week, Dr. Rivera is a miracle worker!
And fast forward to earlier this summer, I injured my self again. I couldn’t walk, and was again bed ridden. Again, within a week I was back to work at full capacity.
And on a side note, all other staff members are super friendly. I’ve never met a more professional team!
Keep up the good work everyone.
Thank you for helping heal me!

I literally stumbled into the office asking for Dr. Rivera, who was on vacation, I was seen by Dr. Husbands and could not be happier. After the session I was able to walk out of the clinic with only a minor fraction of the pain I felt upon entering. I could stand up straight, and I could breathe easily.
They do accept walk in patients, but I recommend at least calling ahead.
A friend had recommended Dr. Rivera, and I am told he is wonderful, but all of the associates at this clinic are top drawer. I recommend Dr. Husbands to anyone who needs pain relief or maintenance.

Talk about a one stop shop!
I followed my Doc here. Dr. Means. I had lost track of him for a while but I was in a bad way. At work I walk a lot and physical labor can be grueling. I knew something was off.
I went to him and we talked about my list of issues. Lack of range of motion, numbness, random pain spikes.
Within minutes he had me relaxed adjusted all different ways and I joked that I could ‘taste color’. But I wasn’t very far off.
I realized later that night that my appetite had returned (I hadn’t realized that I had lost it), I am walking better, and I have more energy.
The greatest thing is he isn’t pushy. I have been to other chiropractors and they want me to get adjusted 3 times a week until forever, Dr. Means isn’t like that. He understands with life and work it is hard to get around to multiple appointments and is happy with once a week.
I am deciding to make my health better and definitely going to keep going to Dr. Means

Dr. Means can cure your migraines!
I’d been suffering from migraines 2−5X/month for over 20 years and went to see Dr. Means at Rivera after reading a few articles about chiropractic treatments mitigating migraines. Dr. Means showed me the x-​rays of my neck/​upper spine that was out of alignment and cutting off blood flow. After 6 treatments my migraines have not reappeared AT ALL. I only wish I’d made an appointment sooner. Way better than taking Imitrex.

5 stars for opening on Saturdays to serve those injured or in pain and nowhere to turn; well for those who do not want to rely on the over-​the-​counter pain killers anyway.
My back and neck issues started gradually when I started travelling a lot for my new job a couple weeks ago. Lower back issue came from lifting the luggage over head to put in the storage bin on the plane. Guess I packed too much. Neck issue came from bad posture working on computer.
When I woke up last Saturday morning and felt like I had been hit by a bus, I knew it was time to go see a chiropractor. Heck I would need to fly out to Chicago first thing following Monday morning, so I had better get it fixed before that.
Then I realized I was out of luck as the chiropractor’s office I used to go to a few years back was not open on Saturdays. I thought they were but then realized it was by appointment only. So I turned to the trusty Unilocal.Rivera Chiropractic Group was the only one open on Saturdays on the peninsula!
Given that the new job hadn’t signed me up for medical insurance, I was going to hold out the entire week as I did not want to have to pay the full price. But at this point I was desperate, I would pay anything just to get better.
So I called, went in to see Dr. Matt Rivera, got X rays taken on my neck, got some light massage on the «inflamed» areas, then got some adjustments on my neck and back. Guess the new job was really «getting on my nerves» as the badly mis-​aligned neck is pinching the nerves around it. After the treatment I felt better right away! I walked in feeling like I needed to lay down for the rest of the weekend but walked out feeling like I could conquer the world! O.K. that was exaggerating; but he practically «saved my back» and I was able to drive all over the places that weekend to see friends and run errands.
The whole process took about two hours given I was a drop-​in and had to get X rays taken. When I walked in I saw patients waiting in the lobby and patients receiving treatments in the exam rooms. There were a few rooms and they have their own parking spots right next to the clinic too. Even though I paid the full price, which was $ 255 (after a $ 50 discount using the Unilocal check-​in offer) that included initial consultation, x rays and one session of treatment. that was worth it. (I did submit my insurance info this week so I would be able to recover some of the costs through insurance).
Again, I can’t thank you enough, Dr. Matt, for staying open on Saturdays for those in need. He was very nice and sympathetic and his adjustments really worked. His office staff was very helpful too. After reading Unilocal reviews I already had the confidence in him going in. Then my experiences just vouched for that and I went back this afternoon for a 2^nd adjustment. Even though I felt much better this week I knew I needed a few more sessions to «get back on track». After all, chronic ailments take time to heal and there is really no «magic pill» to heal immediately. They also have a massage therapist, Monica who can give you 30 minutes of massage for $ 50 before your chiropractic appointment to help you feel better. What a «full service» office!
To avoid a 2^nd injury I checked in my luggage this time before boarding for the flight to Chicago on Monday. No more «heavy lifting» for a while!
