Sports Medicine in San Francisco

“I have suffered from lower back ( SI joint ) pain for 3 years and went through 4-5 providers of various types including osteopaths, acupuncturists, specialized Massage and considered doing PRP. Dr. Cohen was methodical in his assessment and therapy choices in each session. Most importantly reviewing it at the start of each appointment and communicates clearly on why and hows of what he is doing. Through a combination of what he has done with alignment and muscular manipulations together with what I have stopped doing ( re-injuring) he has brought me back to 95-98% in a couple of months and I believe I will get back to 100% recovery shortly so that I can return to training. I extend the highest recommendation for his work.“

“Dr. Kai was very friendly, patient, and understanding of my needs. He took time to understand what was going on in my body and asked me about what I do and my past injuries. He explained things well and took great care to make me feel comfortable and well taken care of. I came in with a slipped disc in my lower back and could barely walk around when I arrived. It has been 7 hours since the initial appointment and I am moving around with much better mobility than I was! A miraculous improvement. I will be continuing my treatment and preventative injury maintenance with this chiropractor moving forward. I encourage anyone who has never sought out chiropractic treatment ever before (like myself, this was my very first time) to give this practice a try! You will not be disappointed! Beautiful location and inviting calming space. I recommend getting a ride over to the location if you don’t want to worry about parking.“

“The team at Fitwell is outstanding! I’ve had sessions with Dr. Casey, Dr. Covey, and Dr. Li. All of them are extremely professional and attentive. I started my treatment when I was around 30 weeks pregnant and experiencing physical symptoms. They not only helped me effectively manage my pain, but also provided a lot of comfort throughout a challenging period.

I worked most closely with Dr. Casey - I have only the highest praise for her level of expertise, care, and kindness. My perinatal journey would not have been the same without her!“

“Have had two appointments now and will be making more in the future. I’ve been dealing with neck and shoulder pain for a few years now and decided to check out acupuncture and cupping. After two appointments I already notice a huge difference in my physical and mental health. Highly recommend if you are considering acupuncture and cupping.“

“Dr Cameron Quillian is an amazing chiropractor . I noticed immediate pain relief from the first visit with him. He is very knowledgeable of the musculoskeletal system. I felt comfortable and at ease with him. I would recommend him to anyone seeking chiropractic care as he is a skilled practitioner .“

“TJ and Sergio at Belden PT are awesome. They helped me get back from a torn ACL and MCL. Very personable and caring, clean shop, and great service. Would definitely recommend.“

“My massage sessions with Catherine have completely transformed my body. My recovery is even better now.“

“Dr. Jake is terrific. He has helped me recover from knee surgery and is a key part of my general wellness plan.

“As someone who has dealt with chronic hip and lower back pain for the past four years, including one unsuccessful hip surgery, failed physical therapy treatments and a decrease in many of my daily activities, I was desperate for a remedy to the discomfort I was feeling. As I was hesitantly about to schedule a second surgery, I stumbled upon shock wave therapy as a non-invasive alternative to surgery. I aligned with the concept of stimulating the body’s natural healing process by relieving pain and releasing growth factors in injured tissue. At Avid Sports Medicine I was so impressed with the blended approach Dr. Veronica and lead athletic trainer Julieta provide to their patients. A combination of shock wave therapy treatments to help heal the physical body as well as physical therapy exercises to help heal our thoughts, habits and mindset around our injuries. This interconnected mind-body approach allowed me to naturally face the root cause of a lot of my injuries and re-correct my movements for increased strength, stability and confidence as I slowly started working my daily exercises back into my life. I recently completed my sessions with Avid Sports Medicine and am blown away by the results – in just seven weeks my hip has regained mobility, and the chronic pain has gone away. I now feel I have the tools to continue my healing journey, I am forever grateful to this team! Avid Sports Medicine has a very talented and amazing team, great facilities and an overall fantastic patient experience. For anyone looking for a natural, non-invasive option to tackle any pain you are experiencing - this is absolutely the place for you. Thank you, Avid Sports Medicine, for all your help!“

“Dr. A has been amazing for my migraine treatments! His approach is always tailored to your specific needs and he aims to provide a holistic approach to pain management. I absolutely recommend his practice.“

“Dr. Chau and the team were absolutely amazing. I felt so cared for, and my pain decreased significantly over the course of the spinal decompression and deep laser therapy treatment. I'm so thankful for the care I received and to be back to living a life I love pain free.“

“This is my second series of PT treatments at Apex, two years apart (different issues). APEX wowed me the first time, and when the doctors suggested some new PT, there was only one call to make. APEX continues to impress. A very spacious facility with a view across the bay to Marin, exceptionally clean, where all the equipment is maintained in great working order. And most importantly, a dedicated and knowledgeable staff.“

“100% magician! I’ve seen Dr. Kristina for over 8 years and this review is way overdue. She’s rescued me time and time again every time I injure myself. She’s incredible with all things related to joint pain. If it hurts when you move, Dr. K can fix it!“

“I highly recommend Chris. He's a top notch pain specialist, very attentive to pain and skilled to help release it, also a pleasure to work with.“

“This review is overdue. I was referred by my friend (who generously got me a gift card) and have been consistently seeing Adolfo for the past few months now. Must say, he is really good. Prior to coming here, I was working with several therapists to rehab my arm. We couldn't figure out what the root cause is and where the pain is emanating from which was frustrating since I was quite limited in my daily activities for nearly 8 months. During my first visit, Adolfo gave me a comprehensive consult and began work on my body. Felt the positive results after my first session and the pain hasn't come back. He's also worked wonders on my sciatica, hand and foot. Not only am I in good hands with him but also with Corinne as well. She's always so nice and sweet - lovely lady who holds down the office.“

“Like most climbers (and athletes), I let an injury go for way too long because I thought rehab would mean stopping and I kept hoping a little rest or slow down would fix things. It didn't. Dr. Barnes helped me understand why my tendon issues weren't going away and how to work through them. I didn't have to stop climbing and in weeks I improved and in less than two months I was significantly better off than before the injury. Since then I'm better at preventative strengthening and whenever I do hurt something I don't wait to address it, I just make an appointment with Dr. Barnes and get a plan in place.“

“Dr. Valette is the BEST. I was his patient for several years at One Medical, and I was excited to follow him to his new practice. He is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, and at the new practice he has more time to talk through all of my health concerns. Appointments never feel rushed, and yet they still run on time. The best part about Dr. Valette is that he really listens to my health goals, and then makes sure everything serves those goals -- medication, lifestyle, supplements, etc. It's so much better and more comprehensive than working with a standard primary care doctor. I can't say enough good things!“

“Dr. Zach Brantner is a miracle worker! I went to him after two months of unsuccessful physical therapy while training for a marathon. He took care and clearly articulated what was going on with my hamstrings while explaining the complexities of associated pain in other places and the role my mechanics were playing in my persistent injury. He got me to a place where I was able to continue training through the most challenging mileage buildup while keeping me healthy and feeling fresh every time I left the office. Dr. Zach made it so that I could reach my goal of finishing the marathon and with little to no pain after 3 months of painful runs. He is truly one of a kind personally and professionally. I cannot say enough great things about him and his unparalleled practice!“

“I have EDS and Mast cell issues and to keep me walking I have been coming here for ages. I don’t think I would be this mobile with such a problematic diagnosis if it weren’t for Amy.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Silver Sports Therapy. Sidney is the best I am so glad I found a place that will truly take care of me through this recovery process!“

“Trevor is awesome - incredible listener and creative problem solver. Really enjoying working with him!“

“I used to see Dr. Gregory regularly in San Carlos after a car accident, but I moved to San Francisco, and only saw her for chiropractic "emergencies" since it was definitely a schlep (that she is well worth). I am so incredibly glad she opened up an office in ActivSpace in the Mission in San Francisco! You can't beat the care. She is also inexpensive compared to other chiropractors in SF.

Dr. Gregory always figures out what the underlying issues is and is usually able to fix it. She is like House (Like Hugh Laurie, except doesn't always misdiagnose everything as Lupus). While it says she's a sports and extremities chiropractor, she really is amazing at diagnosing underlying issues. For example, my rheumatologist and endocrinologist were stumped for 9 months, she helped identify my issue as primary hypoparathyroidism. Most recently, she fixed my carpal tunnel syndrome and saved me from unnecessary surgery. Turns out, my second rib was out from a 30-year-old injury.

Although she doesn't take my insurance, she is so worth paying out of pocket (i could submit the superbills she provides, but my insurance is terrible, so I don't bother, as she really is affordable).

I couldn't recommend Dr. Gregory any higher.“

“Dr Sara Edwards is not only extremely competent, but also compassionate and very caring with her patients. I have recommended her to others who have been happy with her work as well. I only wish she was in San Francisco all the time rather than part-time in Berkeley.“

“I had several surgeries with Dr. Callander of the last ten years!! I have both hips and both knees replaced by him. The surgeries all went well and the staff at his office was outstanding. My last knee was replaced in October and I am working out again!! Dr Callander is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful sense of humor. I highly recommend him if you need knee or hip surgery!“
