I normally don't go to chiropractors because I don't have that many back problems, but I recently had slept wrong in my bed which had caused me five days of horrible back pain. I had met Dr. Jessie in one of my barre classes and knew from other members that she was a fantastic Chiropractor. I came they see heard today and is very happy with the results. She spent a lot of time adjusting, massaging the area that hurt, and stretching. Before we finished she even trained me on some exercises to strengthen the area. I was thoroughly impressed and my back feels better after one session already!

Dr. Z and the lady at front desk with the gorgeous ring and pretty nails (Diane) are the best! Jose & other lady are great masseuse ! My husband and I got rear ended by a drunk driver. I was in so much pain, in tears, unbearable, muscle spasms, on pain killers & could not function or sleep.. Dr Z. Used his magic on me and I feel like a million dollars! Thank you Dan Carlton for the referral ! I am no longer suffering in horrific and agonizing pain! I sleep better at night which is awesome!

Dr. Zappala is one of the best chiropractors and finest people I have met. He is a talented and deeply caring professional. I came to him very distressed with my condition and he is helping get me on the road to recovery. During the pandemic he has made himself available seven days a week! It is a real pleasure to call his office and speak with Dyanne. She is warm, kind and will do her best to get you in quickly - often the same day if it is necessary. This is a unique practice and the charges are very reasonable.

Dr. Joe zappala works his magic like non other. I can't even begin to explain how good this guy is. I had been living with so many aches and pains for about four years. In just three very personalized visits he set and adjusted an old separated shoulder injury and healed my problems. He also helped a very bad knot with my IT band. Seriously he is the best. Only 300 professionals like him exist and I am so thankful he is in my area. Thanks Dr. Z !!!!

Dr. Zapalla is an amazing chiropractor - and an amazing person. My wife and I used to go here when we lived closer. Now we're much farther away. Well I MAJORLY messed up my back this weekend - I "threw it out" - which meant I was in so much pain I could not stand up without almost blacking out. I went to a different chiropractor yesterday who tried to adjust me while I was still have soft tissue swelling and pain. By this morning, I was so out of whack, one leg was acting like it was 1.5 inches too short and I was curved to one side. Dr. Z spent almost an hour with me - doing lots off assessments and x-rays to make sure I did not damage my spine or nerves. Thankfully no issues there. But he did diagnose me with a sprained spinal muscle. He did some therapy on my soft tissue injury, re-positioned my hip, gave me a back brace and small wedge in my shoe so I can walk more normally. I'm doing MUCH better tonight. Most of all, I was just completely blown away by the level of care he provided: super-knowledgeable, compassionate, and lots of helpful treatments. He is more than worth the drive! He has to be OC's absolute best chiropractor. And my wife and I have seen many.

Love Dr. Z and this whole place! He helped me SO much with tendonitis in my elbow and also when I was rear ended with neck and shoulder problems... Dr. Z is highly educated and trained and just really knows his stuff! He does not try and push anything on you that isn't necessary or necessarily affordable. He explains everything crystal clear and leaves you with exact instructions on what to do after leaving his office.. HE'S THE BEST!! Dyanne at the front and the massage staff are also pretty great as well!!

Dr Z is the best "body mechanic" who has "fixed" my problems of ulcerative colitis (UC) and shoulder injuries. I really appreciate that he educates me as he adjusts the body to restore proper function and movement so I can learn the why and how of what he's doing. He also referred me to whole body cryotherapy to help heal my body from UC. I'm amazed at the results - my shoulder moves normally and without pain, and my GI tract is happy again! Dr Z is friendly, professional, and so competent that his work seems magical. If you want results, go see Dr Z!

South West Health is a superb center for improving your health. I have been visiting for over two years and am always impressed by the wealth of knowledge provided to me. Dr. Z, Dr. Jessie and Dr. G all provide a functional approach to chiropractic care. They focus on identifying the root cause of injuries. Rather than just working on the symptoms, they want to solve the source of pain and misalignment. This center also provides services such as therapeutic massage, acupuncture, nutrition and personal training. It is a great health center that is easy to reach from the 55, 405, 73 and 5 freeways.

Friendly, Professional, Thorough, Caring and Highly Recommended. I have seen two other Chiropractors in the past 10 years but hands down Dr. Z is 100% legitimate. I will never go elsewhere. True Genuine Care is how I can describe my experience. Look no further he is thee man. He has been super informative in my recovery. He is a master in trade and a professor of health. A million thanks for being the best at what you do!

My Review is for the front desk staff. They really go above and beyond. Dr. Z's assistant Diane is really sweet and amazing. She definitely made my experience there a better one. Making an appointment and dealing with insurance has been easy breezy.

After seeing many doctors and getting no relief from pain for 2years, Dr Z. was able to solve all my problems and alleviated all the pains. Dr Z has also helped my son with neck pain that he's had for 5 years by correcting a problem that no other doctor had found. Dr. Z and all his staff are wonderful and I would recommend him to my friends and family.

Dr. Zappala ("Z") is simply amazing! My Physical Therapists pretty much gave up on me--what they couldn't do for me, Dr. Z is able to do...Dr. Z is a godsend--making me feel better - not just physically, but emotionally...wow! His knowledge & expertise is astounding! He is no nonsense & doesn't take any BS--his questions, guidance & alignments help me live a much healthier & pain free (not quite there yet but working toward) life...miracle worker! Love love love

South West Health Chiropractic Center is a really nice facility, and I highly recommend Dr G. I have had a lot of issues with low-back pain and sciatica, and Dr G has kept me running marathons without needing to take time off. She has a gentle touch that is both relaxing and effective. She also has machines such as ultrasound and muscle stimulation that are very helpful in conjunction with her chiropractic adjustments. I always feel so relaxed when I leave her office.

I just got back from a run. I'm 3 minutes shy of my personal best time for 3 miles. And my personal best was before I hurt my back about 6 months ago. All to say, I'm nearly back. It took about 8 visits to Dr. Pamela Galambos (Dr. G) of Southwest Health Chriopractic Center. Before the treatments--adjustments, massage and muscle stimulation--I couldn't sit or sleep without pain. After the 4th visit, I started feeling better and my back started to relax. After the 8th visit, I could walk long distance and started running--about a mile to start. I'm about 95% fixed--still a little pain but it goes away after about 5 minutes of stretching. All to say, Dr. G is worth the visits. It's totally affordable, especially when you consider you won't get any work done when you're in pain and in my case, I gained 10 pounds due to inactivity. Dr. G also saved me about $600 by convincing me to forego an MRI until the chriopractic work had a chance to do the trick. So now, 5 months after my first visit to Dr. G, I'm back down to my normal weight and I'm chipping away at my best 3-mile time. See Dr. G--she will fix you!

Dr. Z is my favorite Dr! He is amazing. He has helped me tremendously with my back issues. He also has been treating my son who has a scoliosis . Dr. Z has been a huge blessing to my family.

This place is a one-stop shop for everything you need naturally. Everything from fabulous chiropractic care, spinal decompression, acupuncture, nutritional counseling and testing, etc. Not only is the entire staff talented and caring, but the reception staff goes above and beyond to help accommodate your schedule and make your visit comfortable. LOVE this place!!!!!

I came to Dr Z on recommendation from a golfing friend. After having been in pain for 4 years with continuing back issues, Dr Z got to the root of my problems and has worked hard to enable me to play golf again. Due to a lifetime of spinal issues it's going to be a continuing process with a lot of hard work, but he's willing to work with me to finally have a pain free life. In addition, I work with his wife, Leciana, upstairs in the fitness center every week. She's amazing in her own right and so very knowledgeable. It's so nice that they work together and communicate my current needs so they're both on the same page for the best possible care. From Diane's welcoming smile at the front desk, to Jose's amazing massages it's comforting to know I'm in good hands from everyone.

Dr. Z and staff have been caring for me for the last 9 years. His honest, un-selfish approach toward his clients is really refreshing. He always provides extra advice, exercises and an encouraging word, along with his comment: "If you don't want to be my client for the rest of your life, then do the exercises"! And they are always exercises you can do from home. My personal experience has been incredible. Several years ago, around October 2010, I was having neck pain that turned into radiating pain down my left arm. I went in on a Monday morning and Dr. Z said that I would need an MRI. Tuesday morning I had my MRI and by Tuesday evening, Dr. Z called me at home to tell me that he knew what it was and he could fix it. I went in the next day, on Wednesday, to begin my decompression treatment. The MRI diagnosed a herniated disc and a bulging disc stacked on top of one another. I was loosing feeling in my left hand and was incredibly miserable. The pain NEVER went away. It was constant for 24 hours. I couldn't sleep or carry on a conversation. After the first week, I had no more pain running down my left arm. It was incredible. I think the greatest blessing though was that I never had to have surgery as is the common cure for my issue. It's been 4 years and the pain has never returned. I have referred many patients to Dr. Z and continue to. You immediately feel welcomed when you arrive and are amazed when he knows "where it hurts" before you tell him. His experience and education are top notch. Give him a try, he will make a believer out of you.

My family and I have been enjoying the services of South West Health Spine and Sport for several years, and couldn't be happier with the professionalism, thoroughness and passion displayed by Dr. Z at each visit. After several back surgeries and an accident Dr. Z has brought me back in shape and I highly recommend his and SWH services to everyone.

A friend tried to get me to try SW Health Spine & Sport for 2 years, when I FINALLY took the very good advice, I got relief from a 5 year back ache with one visit. One foot was shorter than the other --other doctors mentioned this, but Dr. Zappala suggested a $2 foot insert which worked beautifully!
