Undeniable the BEST in SF! I've been going here for more than a decade and could not have survived the pandemic without the body work I have been able to get - chiro adjustments, acupuncture and massage. Beyond 5 stars - they are just that good! read more

Highly recommend Traci Kanzawa. I've been seeing Traci regularly for almost a year. I was injured at work due to repetitive injuries and decided to give acupuncture a try. I got to the point where it hurt to hold a fork. It literally hurt to feed myself and it was impossible to do any tasks. Previously, I had months of physical therapy and even after doing muscle strengthening exercises (religiously!), not much had changed. I happened to chose Traci out of a limited worker's comp list and I am SO grateful for it. She is truly an amazing human being with so much knowledge. Traci is someone who is passionate about what she does and she actually CARES about her patients. I continue to see her even after my comp case closed for maintenance. I always come out so relaxed after she does a mixture of needles and cupping. And honestly, the cupping just feels so damn good! Come with an open mind, invest in yourself and get healed. read more

For optimal health and wellness, you need to see Traci. Also, PRO TIP pregnant moms, I saw Traci in the hopes of inducing labor to avoid taking Pitocin. Sure enough, 12 hours later I went into labor. I've been seeing nearly ever week since this time with a focus on postpartum recovery. Atmosphere/Reception: 5 stars. The reception is very relaxed with low lighting. Its very serene and puts you in a chill mode upon entering. Professionalism/Expertise: 5 stars. Traci is an incredible listener and she's patient - gaining a full understanding of your needs. She provides in-depth explanations of her focus work. Her application of needles and cupping is painless and incredibly relieving. Going to Traci has had a complete positive impact on my life. Thank you! read more

I've been going to Concious Chiro for at least 10-15 years. It's conveniently close to the office. Victoria is great with my adjustments...we start with a slow stretch on the table (10 mins), then she adjusts the back and neck, followed by about 15 minutes with electrodes machine and heat pad. When I have the extra time, I make sure to add the massage. read more

I would definitely recommend Victoria Reyzelman to anyone looking for a chiropractor with absolutely no reservations. She was initially recommended to me by my brother who also finished treatment at conscious chiropractic and he only had great things to say about Victoria. She worked wonders on my lower back and overall well being. I also absolutely love that she uses a holistic approach in her treatments and was able to diagnose an underlying hormonal issue that many doctors were unable to help me with. She even came in on her day off to accommodate my appointment due to my busy work schedule. Thank you to Victoria for relieving me of my back pain and for all of your help! I will definitely be recommending this office to all of my family and friends. read more

I think Dr. Schick read my review because the last time I saw her (after writing my first review), she seemed to go out of her way to explain why we didn't work on certain things or she didn't show me certain exercises. She's still very nice and a gentle chiropractor, but I think her personality just isn't for me. I started going to Dr. Victoria instead and she's much more to the point, fewer words and more work, a little more rough (which I like! My body can take a lot and I feel like any bit of extra work will be good for it). Since she is more efficient though, I do get less time with her. My appointments have usually started a little late (probably to no fault of her own - I take the last slot at 5:30 or 5:45pm) and I see her for 5-10 minutes and then she puts me on the electric muscle therapy for another 10. read more

Conscious Chiro is your one stop shop for full body wellness. I've been seeing Dr. Victoria Reyzelman and Acupuncturist Traci Kanzawa for the past 10 years. Victoria is one of the best Chiro's I've seen in San Francisco. Dr. Reyzelman is so kind and takes an amazing healing approach versus some of the other Chiro's I've seen who just do an adjustment and push you out the door. She has helped me with my really horrible upper shoulder and neck tension/pain with light therapy, pulse therapy, and adjustments. She also follows a full body alignment protocol to ensure that my spine is in alignment. I had no idea that having an issue in the spine can interrupt the entire body and its functions. In addition to seeing Dr. Reyzelman she suggested I also see Traci for acupuncture. I was also suggested by my therapist that it would help release the tension in my upper shoulders and neck where I hold a lot of stress. Traci has worked wonders on my body! She has helped me with cupping, acupuncture, and using a method for total body alignment. We all need a little less stress in our life right now and I look forward to these appointments now more than ever! The office feels SO safe and clean and their new receptionist is one of the nicest they've ever had. If you're looking for a one stop shop for total body alignment and wellness Conscious Chiropractic is your place! Don't hesitate to come in and book an appointment with Traci and Dr. Reyzelman. They also offer amazing massages, although I have not had the opportunity to try out their new masseuse - I had previously seen Bernard who was amazing. They also can bill the massage to your insurance as a part of your therapy. A massage covered by insurance, what's better than that?! read more

The review particularly goes to Tammy, one of the massage therapists. She did a really great job with the massage, focusing mainly on my neck and shoulders. I felt very relieved and the next day I woke up feeling lighter on my shoulders, magically the cracking sound on my right shoulder had almost disappeared. It's amazing. The high rating also goes to the chiropractic doctors and the staff there. Friendly service overall. read more

I'm long overdue in providing input to this amazing health center called Conscious Chiropractic and Acupuncture, for which I've been coming to for over 15 years. I highly endorse this wonderful institution that focuses on wellness, proven therapeutics and restoration of mind and body. Some of the best chiropractors, herbalists, massage therapists and acupuncturist in SF reside in this quiet, peaceful, ambient sanctuary located in the heart of the SF Financial District. I can best describe this setting as being like a second home to me. Call it the Cheers of wellness, only under a softened, noiseless atmosphere, sans the beer. The staff has had some changes through the years but at its core, I regularly see Dr. Reyzelman and Dr. Shah for chiropractic adjustments and Traci Kanzawa for acupuncture needs. Dr. Reyzelman and I have been kindred spirts for years. We simply hit it off and blend well together. We share similar values and views about the world in a down home kind of way and she goes out of her way to apply various therapeutic methods of treatment beyond adjustments to keep my body in tune. Dr. Shah, different style but same approach, applying deft skills, soft hands and effective adjustments to my neck, lower back and hips. Both take the time to ask questions and more important, are active listeners. I can't say enough good things about them and their level of class and professionalism. Then there is my favorite, Traci Kanzawa, acupuncturist extraordinaire whose girl next door image, natural charm and beauty is surpassed only by her seemingly effortless zone therapy techniques and needling therapy which are both awe inspiring and effective. Aeden, who heads the front desk, manages scheduling and billing, amongst other admin tasks, is an astute, organized, well spoken gentleman and a quick study, destined to do amazing things in the world. I can't recommend Conscious Chiropractic and Acupuncture highly enough for anyone experiencing physical ailments, body aches, allergies, gastro-intestinal disorders, respiratory problems or emotional disorders. read more

Great practice with a super friendly staff, and Dr. Reyzelman is truly a healer. Very happy with my visit here. Did the laser treatment as well on my knee and it wonders. Also there is a new doctor there Supreet Shah, who is talented and very smart. Love this place. read more

I had an amazing experience. Everything from start to end was great. From a warm reception, to helping me understand the treatment plans, sessions with the doctor, everything was comfortable and wonderful. I went in with a lower back pain and came out feeling much better. Many thanks for making me feel better Dr. Victoria Reyzelman! This is my to go chiropractor now and I highly recommend them. read more

My job is hard on my body. I spend a lot of time out of alignment-bending, and straining to reach those hidden places in patients mouths. I also lift weights regularly, so my neck and shoulders are wound up in knots. My shoulders creak. My neck pops. I am a hott mess. It was truly a treat when on a rare day off I was able to schedule all my random annual exams and MD visits. I got to meet Dr. Deborah Schick and WOW did she make a huge difference. She worked out the knots and performed some effective stretching and adjustment techniques. Dr Schick also has a warm bedside manner. She thoroughly explained each step of the process and gave me a few exercises to perform at home. She's a sweetheart-and you have got to love that southern accent :) During my visit there was a new staff member being trained. so the checkout process was just a little slow, but no worries. She was very nice and took her time to double check all paperwork had been signed and reviewed. I'm sure next time things will run much smoother. I'm making a conscious effort to set aside more "me-time" and Conscious Chiropractic is a great stepping stone towards a healthier body. . . . read more

My inner chi has been very unbalanced lately. I hate walking around like i have the world on my shoulders, it weighs heavy and sucks the energy right out of me. My mother has recommended acupuncture for me, as she partakes herself. Ive done it a couple times in the past, but have since substituted it with yoga, pilates, etc. Dont get me wrong, yoga helps to a certain extent, but i needed a little extra help. On a quest to get my chi aligned again, i did a search for an acupuncturist close to work so that i could attend sessions in the middle of the day. After reading raving reviews, i decided to give Conscious Chiropractic & Acupuncture a try. Boy am i glad all the praises were legit. Michelle was an angel. She made me completely comfortable from the moment i met her and really took the time to get to know me and what my daily life routine is like. I had a 30 minute session and left feeling much more relaxed and lighter stress wise. And the pain i carry in my shoulders seemed to lessen. It was just what i needed. After a few more sessions, im confident my chi will be much more balanced. The center itself is peaceful and serene. Prices arent exactly cheap, but its worth every penny considering how well they know their stuff. Im looking forward to more visits in the future with Michelle. read more

I've been coming here since last year based on Serena's review and it was probably my most valuable Yelp find yet. I've had neck and back problems for years and been to a number of chiros. Dr. Victoria is the best one so far! Gentle adjustments, but solid enough to feel that I've been fixed. Dr. Victoria says I'm very "in tune" with my body, which could be really mean hypochondriac. So brownie points for tact. Convenient downtown location for working folk and easy to book an appointment. The receptionists are understanding when you have to reschedule b/c of last minute meetings. Be sure to see if your insurance covers their massage therapy, which you'll need to book waaaay in advance. A few people from work come here too. Maybe this says something about the stress levels at my company. If HR is reading this, I'm just kidding... read more

I have had neck pain and constant headaches for about 10 years now. Think debilitating headaches that would have me in bed with all lights off and no one is allowed to make a sound. And if that's not possible, and you add a bit of sun and noise to the mix, you would have me throwing up in a parking lot. It wasn't pretty. I have tried everything from massage to physical therapy to just taking a lot of pills and trying to live with it. It was about time that I gave something else a try. I think that my boyfriend was also worried that I carried Aleve with me wherever I went. When you buy a pill box for your keychain at age 27, you know you are in trouble. I have now been going to Conscious Chiropractic for 2 months. And I haven't had a horrible headache since my first visit. The sounds that came from my spine on that first visit were insane. To me, it sounded like gunshots going off in my head. But you know what, the tension that was released is amazing. Some people are a bit iffy about chiropractors. Actually, I am too, and that's why it took me so long to go to one. But these guys aren't about crystal healing and incantations. They are about orthotics, massage (really really really painful massage), strengthening the right things and just generally making you healthy all around. And the best part is the insurance will pick up (part of) the bill. read more

This is a place of complete happiness for me. I first visited a few years ago when I had an office job in the FiDi, and they fixed me up good and right, but after leaving that job I let my back completely go to hell. So, last month after a couple of years of crippling neck, shoulder and arm pain I made a desperate call to their office. Lo & behold, I was still in the system, so they were able to see me the next day. Gene Plotkin is a freakin' miracle worker! I told him my woes and he got right to work. I did 3 visits in 2 weeks and I'm still feeling great. I haven't been able to lift my arms up over my head without wincing in pain for a long time, and now I can do fucking jumping jacks (well, I could, but I'm not). As someone without insurance, I appreciate their rates ($75 initial visit, $55 for each following visit). I can spare $55 a month to upkeep the good work Gene has done. Hurrah, conscious chiropractic! I have them to thank for pain free mornings... Oh, and the massage staff is excellent as well... basically everyone I've been in contact with who works at the office is fantastic! read more

Just found this place here on Yelp a couple weeks ago... I have already started to see the acupuncturist, Michelle, and the chiropractor... both are great. This is a very friendly office and they make it so easy to make an appointment. From the beginning I knew I loved this place when I called to ask questions and the woman told me she'd call my insurance for me to check out my coverage. She very promptly returned my call and made my appointments. First impressions were great. I have been very satisfied with this office and just mad that I have lived here 5 years and just found it... especially since it is so close to my office. read more

My health has dramatically improved under the care of both Dr. Khanin and Traci Kanzawa. I have suffered with acute neck and lower back pain from sports injuries and being a keyboard jockey and have been seeing chiropractors with varying results for over 12 years. I have been seeing Dr. Khanin for chiropractic adjustments and Traci for acupuncture for about 2 years now and it's been the absolute best I have ever felt! Both are incredibly talented, caring, and deliver results. My back and neck are feeling stronger and pain free and my energy levels and mental acuteness have definitely increased. Love this place. read more

I've gone to Conscious Chiropractic and Acupuncture for both chiropractic and acupuncture. At first I was just looking for a good chiropractor near my work, but after reading all the yelp reviews I decided to give acupuncture a try as well. Turns out - I needed Acupuncture waaay more than I needed a chiropractor!!!!! (it makes me feel SO much better). So this review is actually for Traci the acupuncturist. I've been seeing Traci for about 3-4 months now, once every week. She's SO amazing. I'm not exaggerating when I say she deserves 10 stars! I actually never saw an acupuncturist before her, and was always scared of having needles poking me. She totally changed how I view Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. I actually even looked into learning Acupuncture because I love it so much! I saw her because of some women issues, like irregular cycles, cramps, and stress. After every session, I always feel so refresh and happy. It's better than a massage :D. So specific things I like about Traci: 1) She really takes her time listening to your concerns, and getting to know you / your body. 2) She's extremely professional, caring, and GREAT at what she does!! Seriously, even her voice is soothing. 3) She can prescribe chinese formulas. I once had a cold, but seeing a doctor didn't help much (I asked for antibiotics because I am prone to bronchitis, but the doctor didn't and instead told me to take some over the counter drugs when the drug they prescribed me make me even more sick), so Traci actually helped me get over the cold in just 1-2 days! What to expect: 1) Yes, needles are scary, but it's endurable. In some areas, you don't feel much when the needle is inserted (and the needle is really thin, not like usual needles). 2) She has lots of heat lamps, so if you're like me and get cold easily, Traci would totally bring in lots of heat lamps. 3) She also provides eye pillow if you need to. 4) Consider each session as a time to enjoy and recoup your energy. I usually fall asleep. 5) She accepts insurance (I have blueshield ppo). 6) IT WILL HELP YOU. It definitely helped me, and turned me into a believer. Acupuncture really helped my mood and well being! Plus, my cycle is more regular now because of it. :D yay! To sum up, I highly recommend Traci! I've told so many people about her, and will keep spreading the words for her because she really makes people feel SO awesome. read more

I seem to be only reviewing businesses that make me feel warm and fuzzy these days, and Conscious Chiropractic is no exception. I have been seeing Dr. Schick (sp?) and Dr. Victoria for a few months now, and have noticed a marked improvement in a painful sports injury I acquired a number of year back. I had never been to a Chiropractor before coming here, and have been nothing but pleased with the results. I am in much less pain, I have a better gait, and I get a perverse sense of satisfaction hearing my joints crack during treatment. All good things. I love the ambiance of this place, with dimmed lighting, soft music, and very kind front desk staff. It does not have the clinical feel of a doctor's office, which can be rather off putting to some. Conscious Chiropractic's space gives the impression of health, well-being, and relaxation; all the things I need when I come in frantic during my lunch hour. read more

Jen Little is a miracle worker. Besides, being beautiful, gentle, wise, and kind, Jen knows what she's doing when it comes to the female anatomy. I suffered from a yeast infection for two years. I tried everything from over-the-counter products to professional grade products from my gynecologist. Nothing worked. I saw Jen and she gave me special Chinese herbs and did some acupuncture, 1 to 2 months later, my yeast infection was gone. It's been about a year and no infection! =) Thank you Jen for your magic. You are amazing! Elizabeth read more

I came here to get my first ever adjustment right before the school year started. I was getting worried about classes and felt anxious so I decided to see Victoria Reyzelman for a consultation because I thought she can help alleviate the stress. She was very helpful and caring by answering every question I had thoroughly and the adjustment she gave me felt great! I instantly noticed a difference in my sleep and daily productivity and will definitely be coming back regularly! read more

Serene atmosphere, Conscious Chiro is a fantastic all-in-one! I've not done acupuncture there but adjustments (Dr. Victoria R) and massages were amazing. I highly recommend this place, esp as a go-to, middle of work week perk if you work in Fi-Di. read more

I feel obligated to add my voice to those who've already raved about Conscious Chiropractic. I have several severe and chronic problems. I have 3 herniated discs in my neck that started with a bad fall 10 years ago, and have since been aggravated by a car accident last year and (not joking here) a train crash 3 years ago: I was on an Amtrak train going nearly 70mph that slammed into an industrial dumptruck stuck on the tracks. Suffice it to say I've voided the warranty on my neck. I also have an L4/5 disc that's gradually wearing down. My neck has been in such bad shape the last couple of years that I had to find some real relief, and after reading reviews here I made an appointment with Dr. Sheck (sp?). I was impressed with several things: the attitude and general atmosphere in the clinic among all the staff, Dr. Sheck's very genuine concern and gentle, but through, approach, and most of all she is NOT one of those chiropractors who tries to convince you that you need to come in every week for probably the rest of your life and then guilt you into it if your'e at all resistant to that. I have now been in about half a dozen times and my neck is already noticeably better. I have much more range of motion and a lot less pain. Her approach to adjustments is also a lot gentler than I'm used to. Providers I've seen before have made their adjustments feel like they were trying to twist my head off. Adjusting the neck, I'm told, can be a fairly high-risk activity, but I feel quite safe in her hands. She is also very supportive of the weekly traditional Thai massage I get at La Biang on Polk St., which I've also reviewed. Between the two I think I'm going to be in quite good shape in short order. read more

Not long after writing my last update, I received a message from Victoria at Conscious Chiro, which was unexpected but extremely appreciated. Victoria addressed my concern with the chiropractic treatment I received, pointing out that Dr. Anderson was brought on because his treatment style and personality were very similar to that of Mr. Plotkin's. (To each his/her own.) Victoria also acknowledged the miscommunication between her office, Blue Shield and myself regarding the billing issue. I respect that she took the time to remedy the things I found lacking in my recent visits. The staff at Conscious Chiropractic & Acupuncture has always provided a pleasant experience, from the front desk to the doctors, and now with the billing issue. I applaude them for their efforts, and would highly recommend them. read more

What's more convenient than getting a massage during your lunch hour or a quick adjustment by Dr. Gene? Their staff is quite nice and helpful, everything you expect and they give you so much more. I highly recommend this place for a quick adjustment or a massage! read more

I went to see a chiropractor and acupuncturist for the first time last week. I read the reviews online and was not disappointed. I met the chiropractor Dr. Schick who did a very detailed examination as to why I am having my back problems. She gave me many options and was very caring and knowledgeable. I then met the acupuncturist Traci Kanzawa who was just as detailed and caring. She asked a lot of questions and we did a session of cupping and acupuncture. I really enjoyed her session. I fell asleep during the acupuncture session which really help relieve my stress, headaches and tense muscles. I am a new fan and will be back. Also it is so close to my office so I can go to sessions during my lunch hour. Thank you all for all you do. I will be back for a therapeutic massage session as well. read more

Saw Dr. Khanin for the first time today for an acute back pain. He was very thorough, attentive and once he adjusted me, I felt better immediately. I have been to a few doctors over the years, and I can tell right away he knows exactly what he is doing and does it very well. Thumbs up. I will be seeing him again. read more

I have been visiting Victoria for several months. I came to her with extreme lower back pain and within just several sessions, I felt wonderful. Victoria is very professional, friendly, and knows her craft extremely well. I was provided with excellent service. The equipment is all in great shape and the ambience is amazing. Victoria is someone you can trust with your healthy well being. I'm really delighted with my overall experience. I usually don't take time to post recommendations however I'm compelled to do so because how impressed with Victoria and her friendly office staff. read more

I've been going here for chiropractic work three years now, and I had written a positive review up until now that I am rescinding. During a routine checkup with Dr. Plotkin, he was a little too aggressive, and the mid-section of my back went into a numb pain immediately after the checkup. That was several months ago, and the numb tingling continues to persist. Certainly he didn't intend it. I was a faithful and loyal patient for a long time now, and this one mishap is incredibly alarming. Perhaps it might happen to you, perhaps not. Do you want to take that chance with your spine? I left a message to report what happened. No call back. I went to a different chiropractor to get an impartial assessment, and he used Graston tools which showed that, yes, there was trauma in that area. All other great things that I love about Conscious Chiropractic aside, are you comfortable risking the possibility of injuring your back? It happened to me, and however small the chance, it might happen to you. read more

I've been a patient at Conscious Chiropractic for about a year now and I'm very pleased. They take my insurance which of course is very important. I've been going to chiropractors since I was a kid and Dr. Schick knows what she's doing. I've also been able to get a couple of massages from Sufian and Bernhard. They keep this creaky body running strong. Everyone explains exactly what they're doing to try and help you and they offer advice on stretching exercises etc. It's great upkeep for athletes, weekend warriors, desk jockeys or if you sit on the couch and stare at the foam roller across the room while playing Skyrim for 10 straight hours. read more

This is a review of Traci, the acupuncturist in this office. When I think of Traci, I think of gentleness and caring. I have been going to Traci for quite a while now and what I love best about her is the time she takes to really listen to me and figure out what is going on with me. Thanks to her acupuncture treatments and herbal prescriptions, she has greatly reduced my stress levels and the pain I have had in my upper back and neck are practically gone. I walk away from her treatments feeling so much lighter and relaxed. A great way to start or end my days.... read more

Dr. Gene Plotkin, DC is the best chiropractor I've ever had! As a kid I was always getting hurt and once I fell out of a tree onto my head. Ever since then I have been in and out of chiropractic offices. So when I say Dr. Gene is the best, i'm kinda an expert on the matter. kd read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I have been a client for over 4 years and have received excellent acupuncture and chiropractic care, and massage. I mostly come for acupuncture from Traci. What an angel. First, she has been able to treat me for everything from random pains to a brutal cold. She has been able to treat the cause as where doctors just want to treat the symptoms. Traci will also provide me nutritional info and other resources to help me going forward. It's to the point where I just look at Traci and I instantly feel better. She is magical. I have had chiropractic treatment from here as well for a brief time. I liked the care I received and was pleased, but can't remember many details. I just know I wasn't unhappy. I have received several fantastic massages here as well. I like the Swedish relaxing massage with some deeper pressure on my back and shoulders. The massage therapists here are top notch; the price is very reasonable, a solid 5 stars. The front desk: awesome! the gals here are so nice and so sweet. They will review your insurance coverage, book your next appointments and I've never had to wait longer than 5 minutes to be seen. This is the most relaxed, friendly and unpretentious office with the best care and services you can ask for. You'd be a fool to go anywhere else. I cannot say enough about how happy I am with Conscious Chiropractic. read more

So far, I'm a fan. Been dealing with a broken back and a bunch of vertabrea/disc issues since a motorcycle racing crash. Dr. Plotkin reviewed the MRI findings and was honest with me about what he thought he could help with and what he couldn't. I appreciate that. I'll update once I've gone through the therapy for results. But so far, very happy with the care. read more

Sufian is pure magic. His massage is the best I've ever had. Michelle Graves is a nurturing and warm doctor of acupuncture. My quality of life improved 10fold after discovering acupuncture for pain management. Now I use it for immune system support, hormone balancing, and nicotine addiction too! Dr. Reyzelman is my kind of chiropractor. I looked long and hard for someone like her! She does not try to sell you a bunch of crap you don't need. She just fixes you. read more

I am writing this review for the Acupuncture services by Michelle Graves. Michelle is a gem. She is thorough, and explains everything that she does for you during your service. She listens and remembers details about me and my treatment, and I just really feel blessed to have her. & acupuncture is FSA-friendly. So, definitely do try it! read more

I have seen Dr. Plotklin several times. He is a really good Chiropractor. Many chiropractors don't do much good, but Dr. Plotkin fixed a couple of painful back injuries I have had. Reasonable rates too! john read more

The receptionists were helpful and sweet about scheduling appointments, which was much appreciated. I like that everyone who works here really makes you feel that your well-being is the focus. With the wonderful combination of services they offer (accupuncture, chiropractic, and massage), you could spend the whole day here! I think the most important thing is communication, you need to be honest so that they can best address your health situation. read more

Dr. Plotkin is awesome - he provides the best adjustments especially for my neck and upper back. He's very thorough and does a great job explaing to me what adjustments he made. He's always patient answering my questions too. Gene also is just a nice guy! He cares about his patients and his adjustments have helped lessen my chronic pain from past injuries. The massage team like Sufian, Tammy, and Sarai are awesome. They give the best deep tissue massages! read more
