What if the key to unlocking your body's true mobility lies in your fascia? Zaker Chiropractic’s myofascial release therapy in Torrance, San Pedro, Rancho Palos Verdes, and Newport Beach offers precise methods to melt away tension and foster lasting mobility and health.

What Is Myofascial Release Therapy?

Fascial adhesions—tight bands within your connective tissue—cause chronic pain, restricted movement, and issues like back pain or post-surgical stiffness. Myofascial release (MFR) therapy, also known as trigger point therapy, treats this using a noninvasive approach.

MFR applies gentle, sustained pressure to fascial tissues, releasing adhesions and promoting elasticity. It targets trigger points and knots to encourage smooth fascial gliding.

Along with myofascial release techniques, we tailor exercise routines to strengthen and lengthen fascial networks, preventing re-adhesion and enhancing tissue resilience.

Adjunctive Modalities

We incorporate adjunctive therapies like heat packs and therapeutic ultrasound to warm tissues, enhance fascial pliability, and optimize release effectiveness before and after treatment.

Always Feel Better

This facility is great and I love everyone who works there. They take care of you and you always feel better after each treatment. Dr. T's really knows what he is doing and sets you up on a treatment plan that truly works. I recommend them to all my friends and family.

Best Massages

As if they needed another 5-star review, so I'm sorry to be redundant but this place really is the best and I've been to many chiropractic places. Dr. Zaker knows exactly which spots to hit and Robert gives the best massages. I've been coming here regularly for almost two years about once a week and the quality has been consistent. It's the highlight of my week. My only hope is they expand their facility. There's a lot of people sometimes, but I guess that's a good problem for them to have!

Excellent Care

Dr. Zaker and Dr. Kim provide excellent care for all their patients in a warm and caring environment. They are really smart about knowing just what you need to feel better, and their therapists and staff are friendly and very skilled. You won't go wrong here!

Saved from surgery!

“When I first visited Dr. Zaker I was in very bad shape, I had received many injections in the past that were not doing the job. My pain was still there every day, in morning and all throughout the day. The next step for me was surgery recommended to me by two of the surgeons that I visited. When I found out about spinal decompression for my low back I figured I would give it a try because it was my last option. After the first treatment I was very sore but by treatment number 15 approximately 80% of my shooting pain was gone. Dr. Zakers decompression table is nothing like I have seen before. It not only targets the low back but also targets a specific level where the herniation is and also the side it is on. I was saved from surgery.”

Barry Sams

Changed everything.

“After Dr. Zaker ordered my MRI in my neck and we discussed the results, it was obvious to me that my issues were serious. I had a 6mm herniation in my neck at multiple levels. Based on what my brother went through with pretty much the same problem I figured I would end up with a fusion just like him and would have to live with pain for the rest of my life. Dr. Zaker introduced me to the spinal decompression machine and it changed everything. After about 11 or 12 visits all of the tingling in my hands were gone. Although we were also treating me with stretches, muscles work, and strengthening the decompression table seemed to play an enormous real in keeping me out of surgery.”

Amber H.

Great Work!

"After Dr. Zaker ordered my MRI and the results came back that I had a few herniated discs in my low back I thought I would need surgery. Dr. Zaker told me that he had just added a spinal decompression table in his office. The first three or four times I tried it I did not see much of a difference, but after the 5th visit the radiating sciatic pain down my leg started alleviating and by the time I was on my 15th treatment over 80% of the pain and tingling was gone. I am thankful that new advancements in technology can give patients like me other options other than surgery.”

Yes, myofascial release can significantly prevent injury in sports performances. It enhances flexibility, range of motion, and muscle function while reducing soreness and the risk of common injuries, helping athletes perform and recover efficiently.
