Physical therapy Costa Mesa


Physical therapy is a key component to the services that we offer here at our Costa Mesa facility. We take an integrated approach to our physical therapy care. We believe that no one treatment works for every one and that multiple medical professionals working together with the same vision will provide the patient with the best care possible. The key to our success with physical therapy is the integration of different professionals on each case. All of our care is one on one and we take most insurances. Contact one of our concierges for more information on what your insurance pays.  

The physical therapy department is headed up by Christina Brown, M. P.T. who brings her years of experience as both an athlete and a physical therapist. Christina received her Master of Physical Therapy Degree from University of the Pacific in Stockton, California.  She also received her undergraduate degree from UOP, where she played Division 1 basketball.

Joseph M. Zappala D.C - Publisher

Dr. Zappala has been a chiropractor for the last 24 years and specializes in the treatment of sports injuries, especially those related to the golf swing. He treats athletes from all sports including gymnastics, dance, tennis, baseball, football, basketball and hockey. As a former athlete, Dr. Zappala understands the functional connection between what he does as a chiropractor and how an athlete performs at his or her sport. He performs his assessments and prescribes treatment based in relieving pain and restoring function to the injured area. This often leads to increased performance and decrease in the recurrence of injuries. He preaches active care to all of his patients whether they are athletes or just aspiring to be.
