Sports Medicine in San Francisco

“I have been seeing Dr. Brian for chiropractic adjustments and ART for several years, and I have had only the best experience in his capable hands.

As an active person and a business owner, having back and hip issues is a huge inconvenience, and a major bummer. Dr. Brian always gets straight to identifying the issue, and I'm good as new within a session or two. He is patient, highly knowledgeable, kind, and always has my best interest at heart. I can't recommend him highly enough!

I'm particularly glad I found him because I didn't know anything about ART (active muscle release), and the majority of what we do in a session is muscle release work in addition to a small amount of chiropractic adjustment. This helps reset my habitual movement imbalances that create the misalignment in the first place.“

“If you are an athlete or a desk worker dealing with stubborn pain, do yourself a favor and see Dr. Cohen and the ProActive team.

The Issue: As an endurance athlete and avid tennis player who also works a desk job, I developed acute Achilles tendonitis. The pain was so sharp that I could barely walk when getting out of bed in the mornings. My podiatrist recommended new footwear, stretching, and not playing tennis. Even after resting and following that regimen for weeks, that did not stop the pain...which is made me seek out an alternative approach, because I did not like how long this was taking and I love being active.

The Approach: Dr. Cohen looks at the body holistically. He has an uncanny ability to understand how the entire chain connects—how the head (and even my thoughts!) affects the foot. He focused on realigning my overall posture and balancing out my muscles to address the heavy rotation from my sport.

The Result: The sharp pain completely vanished after a few sessions. It has been over a year now, and I am still 100% pain-free.

Dr. Cohen is incredibly intuitive and possesses a level of expertise that sets him apart from other healthcare practitioners. He doesn't just treat symptoms; he fixes the root cause. He is approachable, funny, good-natured, kind, and curious. I highly recommend him!“

“Eugene is the best. I had 3 physical therapists at a different clinic try to help me with a complicated foot issue and they were unsuccessful. I went to Eugene, he helped me immediately and knew exactly what to do! 10 out of 10 recommend.“

“Andrew has been so great to work with! My ankle pain has made such great progress in the past 3 weeks since starting acupuncture. Highly recommend to anyone, no matter how complex the issue.“

“I’ve been a patient of Dr Covey’s for more than a few years now. She’s excellent. Attentive, thorough, punctual, great communicator and very good at her trade. Grateful I have her as a resource. I’m in construction and chiropractic maintenance is a big part of staying healthy and productive. for me.“

“The team here is awesome and the facility is loaded with equipment. I worked with Crystal for a few months of pre-op PT and continued post-op following rotator cuff surgery. All around great experience and I highly recommend Crystal; she’s great.“

“I’ve been going to Premier Health Chiropractic’s Marina and Castro locations for over two years for massage, and I truly cannot recommend them enough. Every therapist I’ve seen has been exceptional, especially Joanna at the Marina location and Mac at the Castro location.

As an athlete, I really value quality manual work, and they consistently deliver. The therapists are knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly effective. The front office team is also amazing — friendly, organized, and always helpful.

If you’re active, athletic, or just looking for excellent bodywork, don’t miss this place.“

“I’ve suffered from jaw, face and neck discomfort for years. After seeing specialists a few years back I almost gave up until my partner and I found Dr. A! After treatment I have significantly less pain

Dr. A made it incredibly easy to get a consultation for my issues and genuinely connected with me around managing my pain. After consultation we agreed to treat two areas around my jaw and neck. Both treatments were incredibly quick and virtually painless

After a few weeks, I have noticeably less jaw and facial pain. Huge thanks to Dr. A and highly recommend to anyone facing similar issues“

“Hands down most effective chiropractic care I’ve received, and I’ve been using chiropractic care for decades. Dr. Q is interested in healing you and is very effective. I highly recommend SF City Chiropractic.“

“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!“

“I’ve had a wonderful experience at Avid Sports Medicine. I went in with both acute and chronic issues, and have made great progress doing regenerative therapy with Dr. Jow and PT with Natalie. Both are so kind and knowledgeable. Katie at the front desk is very kind as well and makes scheduling appointments a breeze. 5 Stars for sure…would highly recommend!!“

“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 just want to thank Dr Chau and his staff for being so professional, friendly and respectful.
They changed my life. No more pain killer for me!!!
Gracias al Dr. Chau y a su personal por ser tan profesional, amigables y respetuosos.
Ellos cambiaron mi vida No mas analgesicos para i!!!
Ricardo
Note:
I will go back for maintenance“

“My experience with Christina was the best Physical Therapy I’ve experienced and highly recommend Agile Physical Therapy.“

“I have been coming to Apex for a long time and can attest that Erica and her staff provide excellent care. They always know the latest and greatest techniques, and are very kind and patient. I highly recommend!“

“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. Co is excellent, professional, and genuinely cares about patients. I saw him a couple times and then ran into him outside the office, and he stopped for about 5 minutes and asked how I was doing, and even answered questions that would usually require an office visit. Two years later, when the issue flared back up, I called the office and they resent my exercises within 5 minutes. Can’t recommend Dr. Co or his team enough!“

“Cator changed my life around after a car accident, and in an ongoing way has helped my children and me through ups and downs. I feel calm and more clearly able to see the decisions I need to make in the space after a session. I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone I know who is looking for well being.“

“I am very appreciative of Dr. Liu and Karin for their excellent care. Great communication, professional service, sound clinical results. I presented to them seeking help with my running and an associated weak point that's developed over the years. 7 months later I'm running strong and feeling good. Highly recommend them, thank you for your help“

“TJ is an outstanding therapist. I’ve been dealing with chronic neck issues for a while, and every time I see him, he knows exactly where to focus to relieve my pain. He has an incredible skill to release tension, improve my mobility, and help me function better in my daily life.“

“I worked with Giancarlo, Carlie, and Zoe throughout my pre- and post-ACL reconstruction surgery, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be in the same physical/mental place without them. I’m incredibly grateful for their wisdom and guidance throughout this year journey.

When I first tore my ACL, I didn’t think I would ever be able to climb or run long distances again. But today I’m bouldering, running up to 8 miles, and even started a new sport—BJJ.

Giancarlo especially supported me throughout the entire process. He is an excellent PT and provided exercises that helped manage my pain and rebuild the strength in my leg. Carlie and Zoe were also amazing, guiding me through each exercise and helping me maintain proper form. Carlie is always on top of the paperwork and is great at responding to emails/phone calls as well.

I’m truly grateful for this team and everything they’ve done for my recovery.“

“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.“

“Nicole and Marty are awesome!! I had ACL/ Meniscus surgery on my left knee and went to Ultrahealth for my recovery. They are very detail oriented, passionate about helping people, and knowledgeable. Everyone there is also very kind each day walking in I am greeted with smiles and hellos! The program they designed was very well rounded and I was able to see great progress with my leg. They tend to multiple patients at a time which I really like because it builds community and I was able to meet other people with the same injury. Ultrahealth knows their stuff and really helped me to meet my goals after surgery. If you are an athlete looking to rebuild your body after surgery, injury, etc. this is the place.“

“I have been seeing Dr. Rabbetez for almost 20 years now. I don't know what I'd do without him. He has been instrumental in my chronic pain management. He is not just a highly skilled and intuitive provider, he is also a very kind and empathetic person. I wish I could give him 10 stars.“

“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!“
