Chiropractic Specialty Centerยฎ (CSC) operates three key locations across Kuala Lumpur โ in Bukit Damansara, Sri Petaling, and Bandar Sri Damansara โ offering integrative chiropractic, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and exercise-based care for spine and joint concerns. What sets our centers apart is not just the advanced non-invasive methods we use, but the way we deliver them: all clinical and clerical staff at CSCโs KL centers are trained directly by our founder, Yama Zafer, D.C. Yama Zafer, D.C., is a U.S.-trained chiropractor and clinical educator with nearly 30 years of experience in spine and joint care. He founded CSC in 2006 after relocating to Malaysia to advance musculoskeletal research and develop a new model of care that prioritized integration, education, and safety. Drawing on his education from Cleveland UniversityโKansas City and decades of hands-on clinical practice, he designed CSC to be a place where chiropractic and physiotherapy are delivered side by side โ coordinated, structured, and always non-invasive. Before any team member begins working with patients, they undergo thorough assessment, clinical education, and protocol-based training conducted personally by Y. No practitioner is permitted to provide care at CSC's Kuala Lumpur centers until they have completed this in-house training, which includes technique refinement, safety protocols, and collaborative care planning. This ensures that all CSC care is consistent, structured, and aligned with evidence-informed guidelines. Our Kuala Lumpur locations are held to the highest internal standards and continue to operate under the direct clinical leadership and supervision of CSCโs founder. We encourage patients looking for safe, personalized, and comprehensive spine and joint care to visit one of our three principal CSC centers in KL.

CSC was founded in 2006 by Y. Zafer, a U.S.-trained practitioner who relocated to Malaysia with the goal of advancing musculoskeletal research while embracing Southeast Asiaโs vibrant lifestyle. Upon arriving, he recognized a significant need for care that combined physiotherapy and chiropractic methods in a collaborative setting. The first CSC center opened on December 26th, 2006, in Bukit Damansara. It was equipped with specialized therapy devices brought from the United States โ many of which were unavailable locally at the time. This made CSC the first center in Malaysia to offer integrative, non-invasive spine and joint care under one roof, delivered collaboratively by chiropractors and physiotherapists. What started as a single center soon attracted individuals from across Malaysia and neighboring countries โ people in search of non-surgical, structured, and evidence-informed care. The centerโs vision of collaborative care quickly evolved into a model adopted across multiple locations.

At CSC, our mission goes beyond managing discomfort. We aim to educate, empower, and guide individuals toward healthier movement, better posture, and long-term mobility through structured, non-invasive methods. Todayโs healthcare system often emphasizes symptom control. But we view health differently โ not just as the absence of symptoms, but as the presence of balance, education, and informed daily habits.
1 - Our prevention-focused philosophy includes:
2 - Postural retraining and ergonomic coaching
3 - Lifestyle awareness and daily movement strategy
4 - Muscle reconditioning and joint-specific strength training
5 - Spinal alignment and soft tissue balancing techniques
Prevention is at the heart of everything we do. We believe lasting change comes not just from what we provide, but from what we teach โ because lasting results depend on knowledge, not just methods. CSC continues to offer free educational talks to the public on posture, movement, and lifestyle. These events are designed to raise awareness and encourage early, informed action.

The integration of chiropractic and physiotherapy offers people more than just temporary relief โ it creates a platform for lasting functional improvement. A growing body of peer-reviewed research supports the effectiveness of integrative care:
1. Coulter ID, et al. โChiropractic care and the integration with conventional medical practices: a systematic review.โ J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2018;41(9):723โ732.2. Newell D, et al. โA systematic review of integrative care for musculoskeletal conditions.โ Chiropr Man Therap. 2017;25:1โ10.3. Karjalainen K, et al. โMultidisciplinary biopsychosocial rehabilitation for subacute low back pain.โ Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2003;(2):CD002193. When clinical teams collaborate, patients benefit from improved understanding, smoother recovery, and a more personalized care experience. Integration is not just efficient โ it's effective, especially for long-term health planning.

CSCโs success lies in its commitment to work with โ not just on โ individuals. Every plan is structured following a detailed assessment and may include spinal decompression, high-intensity laser therapy (HILT), ultrasound, electrotherapy, or guided rehabilitation. More importantly, patients are empowered to take control of their health through:
1 - Movement education
2 - Posture correction
3 - Strengthening plans tailored to activity demands
Whether you're looking to improve how you move, stand, work, or age โ weโre here to help you build lasting habits through safe, collaborative methods that adapt to your lifestyle.

๐ก๐ผ๐๐ฒ: The following information is provided for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace professional evaluation. Our care focuses on the entire bodyโfrom head to toe. Below is a look at how we help at every level
๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ
Problems like clicking jaws, muscle tightness, or joint stiffness can affect speaking, chewing, and posture. We offer non-forceful care for the jaw using manual therapy, guided muscle work, and soft-tissue techniques to improve alignment and function without strain. Conditions affecting the jaw can interfere with chewing, speaking, and alignment. Our team addresses muscular tightness, joint dysfunction, and poor posture around the jaw using manual physiotherapy, myofascial release, and trigger point techniques. No high-force adjustments or twisting are usedโonly gentle, targeted care that focuses on function.

We care for the neck and upper back using non-rotatory methods that avoid twisting or high-force moves. Our team combines chiropractic techniques, manual physiotherapy, and stretching with tools like spinal decompression, electrotherapy, and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) to restore mobility gently. Neck conditions we commonly see include disc bulges, protrusions, and herniations. A disc bulge refers to a broad extension of disc tissue. A protrusion is more focal, while a herniation means the inner disc has breached the outer layer. These changes can affect movement, cause stiffness, or irritate nearby structures. CSC combines non-rotatory chiropractic methods, spinal decompression, high-intensity laser therapy (HILT), ultrasound, electrotherapy, stretching, and physiotherapy techniques to ease tension and optimize neck mechanics.

These areas are often impacted by posture, overuse, or previous injury. At CSC, we manage shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand issues using myofascial release, manual physiotherapy, fascia therapy, and trigger point work. We also provide movement correction, muscle strengthening, and guided rehab exercises. Common conditions affecting these regions include tendon irritation, nerve entrapments (such as carpal tunnel or cubital tunnel), and myofascial trigger points. Desk posture, keyboard use, and past trauma often contribute. CSC provides muscle activation, fascia therapy, ergonomic retraining, and manual care tailored to each jointโs role in motion.

Rib and mid-back stiffness can cause shallow breathing and poor posture. We use fascia therapy, soft mobilization, and posture-focused rehab to support this region. Care is targeted, safe, and done without twisting or forced motion.

Our care for the lower back includes spinal decompression, non-rotatory chiropractic adjustments, and physiotherapy techniques such as ultrasound, HILT, and electrotherapy. The pelvis and sacroiliac joints are also managed using manual methods and guided rehab tailored to restore balance and improve walking, sitting, or bending. Common conditions here include lumbar disc bulges, herniations, facet joint irritation, ligament strain, and muscle imbalance. A disc herniation occurs when the disc nucleus breaks through its outer ring, sometimes compressing adjacent nerves. CSC uses spinal decompression to reduce disc pressure, non-rotatory chiropractic (e.g., flexion-distraction), high-intensity laser therapy, electrotherapy, ultrasound, and movement rehab to improve function without invasive procedures.

From walking discomfort to joint tightness and post-injury changes, our care includes myofascial release, trigger point therapy, strengthening exercises, and one-on-one movement coaching. We work on soft tissues, improve joint movement, and retrain the muscles that control hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Conditions affecting lower extremities may include meniscus injury, subchondral bone stress, ligament laxity, plantar fasciitis, or ankle instability. The meniscus cushions and stabilizes the knee, and damage may lead to clicking, catching, or joint strain. CSC uses HILT for deep cartilage, ultrasound for ligament repair, and targeted exercises for balance and gait improvement. "Extracorporeal shockwave therapy shows time-dependent chondroprotective effects in osteoarthritis of the knee in rats." Journal of Surgical Research 178.1 (2012): 196โ205.

Rehabilitation doesnโt end with passive therapy. At CSC, we focus on restoring full-body movement through structured, guided fitness. Our one-on-one exercise programsโrun by physiotherapists and sports science specialistsโare available through PhysioWorldโข, our fitness subdivision located within CSCโs Bukit Damansara center. These sessions are tailored to help each person build strength, improve posture, and return to daily activities confidently. We support movement rehabilitation through structured programs offered by PhysioWorldโข, our in-house one-on-one fitness and rehab division. Common goals include postural improvement, joint protection, and return to physical activity. Programs are customized for those with a history of disc issues, muscle imbalances, or post-injury weakness. Esculier, J.F., et al.
