For over 10 years, Dr Wayne continues to fix and keep me aligned and moving. Highly recommended!

A super star of chiropractic!!! Heartily endorse with Gratitude!! Dr Yuen is a real expert and has magic hands!!! Also interprets my spinal discomfort with just the right Ideas and treatments. read more

The other reviews say is all - but Dr. Wayne is incredible. Not only is he incredibly skilled at what he does (I depend on my bi-weekly adjustments as a crucial part of my self-care routine now), he really cares about his patients and will answer any questions that you have; and lets you know what's happening as he's adjusting you. I came initially for help with a tight lower back and it feels much, much better than when I started. It's great chatting with him during our sessions and of course I always leave feeling amaaaazing. It's also great that the office is shared with 2 massage therapists - I had a 90min CBD massage with Kerri that really help loosen up my chronically tight back muscles - it's a one-stop shop; get adjusted and a deep tissue massage as well. I've recommended him to all my friends. read more

I initially had no faith in chiropractic therapy prior to visiting MBC. I feared it would exacerbate rather than eliminate my issues. So, I endured decades of neck, shoulder, mid / lower back, and hip pains. I didn't take the prescribed or recommended OTC pain meds either. I'd tried acupuncture, rolfing, salt soaks, massages, primarily homeopathic therapies. Some worked; others didn't. Those that did were in the short-term, as the symptoms rather than the cause of my issues were primarily addressed. Being a lifelong athlete, it was difficult to accept that simple physical activities like walking and bicycling had become increasingly painful. I knew Inactivity would cause my nearly ten-pound weight gain; which didn't help my knees, as increased inflammation from the weight had doubled their sizes. Traditional PT was of no help as it has gone the way of self-help DIY crudely-illustrated take-home guides or animated avatars accessed online through apps. The exception is post-orthopedic surgery PT, typically administered in person, with a human. I was desperate for relief. So choosing to try a chiropractor was an act of desperation. Fast forward to my first appointment at Mission Bay Chiropractic with Dr. Wayne. The intake was about 15 minutes. He explained why and where adjustments were needed and did them. He put me at ease, allowing the therapy to occur without resistance on my part from perceived harmful "skeletal cracking" anxiety. My gosh! The tension release you feel is real. Post-treatment made me a believer in this therapy. The chronic neck pain vanished. I had no idea that my thoracic spine had zero ROM until I was able to swivel my back 90 degrees on both sides without resistance or pain. A natural sway returned to my lower back that I believed was lost forever, and the gnawing hip pain disappeared. My neck's full ROM returned. The tension in my shoulders vanished. Though unexpected, every result was instantaneous. The hesiitency in my gait was gone, giving way to longer strides with more hip sway and balance. I felt different. More assured. Taller. Pain-free. I don't know what Dr. Wayne did differently last week, but my knees feel as if they never harbored the inflammation that caused their pain and increased sizes. My kneecaps are visible. I can now walk up and down stairs without pausing or wincing. I rode my bike and even walked to the store and carried groceries in my backpack that were at least 10 pounds heavy, and my knees never complained. I also gained a half-inch, as the dowager's hump Dr. Wayne said was forming from poor posture choices was somewhat excised! I now have faith that chiropractic therapy addresses the causes rather than symptoms of my various pain-related ailments, and that the adjustment protocols are absolutely paramount in pain management, and an overall health benefit, to boot. However, the key is to find the right practitioner, and Dr. Wayne has "magic hands!" I can now walk to and from my appointments without icing my knees when I return home! And will walk, bike, and do mild weight-bearing and resistence band exercises to melt away the excess weight I gained. I am so stoked that I found Mission Bay Chiropractic! read more

I am a chiro connoisseur. At one point I had 1 mom, 2 dads and 7 uncles = all chiroprators. I have had the best of the best work on me... Dr Wayne is one of the best adjusters I've experienced. I've been a patient for over 10 years and plan to be a patient of Dr Wayne's for another 10+ years. Try the massage therapists, as well. They are excellent! I use my HSA to buy chiropractic and massage packages. read more

Dr. Wayne has been open during the SIP for his patients on MWF and it's been a lifesaver. First off, it gives me a place to go during the SIP for some self care time away from my infant and husband and secondly, provides relief from back, hip, psoas and neck stiffness and pain from pregnancy, childbirth and post partum. I would highly recommend chiro care all throughout the pregnancy for maintenance and 6-8 weeks post partum once the doctor says ok. With breastfeeding, holding a 20+ pound baby and new demands on the body on top of healing post partum, chiro maintenance is a must. It's pretty affordable even though he's not in network anymore and the massage care is excellent (will open back up after SIP). I highly recommend Liz for massages. She's the best! read more

Dr. Wayne and his team are excellent! I'm a dentist and have some long standing neck and back issues that they were able to help me with. Thank you for great care! read more

Dr Wayne is pure gold. Went in with a back spasm and he worked with me for 3 months to get it all back to normal, then just alignments as needed. He was always informative and let me know what was happening and what needed to be done and I'd always leave feeling like a new man. read more

Dr. Wayne has been my chiropractor for the last 20 years. He is attentive, caring, honest and thorough. He also very knowledgeable with exercises and nutrition to help maintain a healthy back and overall general health. Most importantly, Dr. Wayne is an excellent adjuster and very pleasant to chat with. For all these reasons, I like many other of his patients, highly recommend him! read more

I've been to Dr. Wayne every week for the past month or so. He is amazing! I am an athlete, and keeping my body functioning well is something that I invest a lot of time and money in. That being said, Dr. Wayne is a miracle worker. In just a little under a month, he changed my body from being always in pain or fighting an injury to a body that feels strong and healthy again, with 60-70% improvement. I really appreciate his thoroughness in his approach, from examination to treatment, developing a plan, recommendations and exercises to strengthen. Even more so, I appreciate that he is not at all pushy with the amount of treatments and has never seemed greedy to get me back in for money. I've had that experience with other chiropractors in the past, and it is a huge deterrence for me seeing that person again. I'm definitely a client of Dr. Wayne's for life! He's won me over, hands down. read more

Dr. Wagner is absolutely amazing! I came in at the end of last year with sudden, horrible pain. He assessed me quickly and provided detailed explanations of both the cause of my injury as well as adjustments that could help. I was completely pain free after just two appointments--definitely unexpected but so grateful! My back is sooooooo much happier thanks him. I truly can't thank Dr. Wagner enough! read more

I called in as a new patient and I was told they do take my insurance. I insisted her to find if im in network. She told me that they will find out from my insurance and let me know if I am in network. She calls me in 10 minutes and tells me yes I am in, some how I find it fishy so I call my insurance and find from them that I am out of network, so I call back and tell them I cannot move forward with them, to which she replies, 'I knew you will come back with this answer'. Lol if you knew then why did you tell me a lie in the first place? Guys please check with your insurance, you dont want to pay a higher price and fill their pockets. read more

Fear not, fellow wizards - I have reported Dr. Affatato to the Ministry of Magic for violation of the International Statute of Secrecy. Whilst the muggles may believe that his ability to provide quick relief from physical affliction comes from years of study and practice, I can assure you that he is not, in fact, the simple doctor he pretends to be. Indeed, the only explanation for his incredible "skill" is an illegal use of healing spells. I'm sure I speak for all when I say that I hope this matter is resolved quickly before he causes problems for the rest of us in the wizarding world. read more

My lower back was in pain for over a year. I saw my general doctor who recommended me to muscle it back, pilates helped very little though. I eventually decided to try seeing a Chiropractor and found Mission Bay Chiropractic. Dr Jackson Wagner listened to my symptoms, all the things I could not do anymore, started adjusting my back regularly but most importantly, he taught me a few simple exercises that really, after a couple months of doing them seriously, muscled my lower back to protect my spine and discs. I saw the change over the few months: from a few days where I could finally get out of the car without pain, to waking up without stiffness to now most of the time being at 100% functional... Thank you for all the help Jackson, I should have come earlier! read more

I started coming here last fall when after having a nice massage, stretching, twisting and turning wouldn't get the kinks out of my back. I had gone to physical therapy for months to get my shoulder/back into gear after poor work ergonomics, however my back was still feeling off. I was hoping to find a chiropractor that was closer to my office than my home and found Mission Bay Chiropractic just down the street from my office. I met with Dr. Chuck who did an assessment of my range of motion along with lots of questions regarding pain, length of discomfort and so on. After a few adjustments, I was feeling so much better. He even had me do awesome stretches and exercises like superman 1 & 2. I eventually got my cape cuz I'm awesome. I've been going ever since for monthly adjustments to keep me all limber and such which has helped. I've also gone in for an "emergency" visit which was more like a "Oh my god I slept wrong, my neck is killing me!!" visit. Either way, he tuned me up nicely. Dr. Chuck is really thorough, more than my previous chiropractor. He remembers what you last talked about in your previous visit and isn't all new age-ish like you would think a typical chiropractor is. He's super down to earth, has a great sense of humor and enjoys homemade cookies, but also really cares about your well-being. I completely trust him which is huge. In summary: 1 star - great SOMA location 1 star - thorough examination 1 star - super cool attitude 1 star - easy to get appointments, same day even 1 star - funny stretches & exercises names 1 star (if I could add another) - candies at the front desk! 1 star (again, if I could) - awesome music playing in the background (Bryan Adams was playing last time. Uber cool) read more

I found Dr. Chuck through a co-worker who gave a shining recommendation. Everyone at the office has been great and even though I was really tentative about adjustments, Dr. Chuck was very clear with what he was doing and most importantly for me, why he would do whatever it was he was doing. I was experiencing severe stiffness in my neck muscles, my back had tightened and I had sharp pains racing down the left side of my back, and my left shoulder was always sore. By the time I went for help, my left arm would be numb once in a while. I've been seeing Dr. Chuck for a few weeks now, and I know I'm on my way to recovery! I sleep better and am more aware of my body position. Also, fewer headaches. Dr. Chuck also gave me some great stretches I could do throughout the day and recommendations for what I could do in my office to ease the repetitive motion strain. Thanks again! read more

Dr. Wayne rocks. No other way to put it. After severely injuring my back six months ago I was in pretty much constant pain and discomfort since. Physical therapy didn't work and only after seeing Dr. Wayne did I experience long lasting relief. Through a mixture of deep tissue massage, electric muscle stimulation, and basic stretching I hardly ever experience any pain at all. Office staff is so friendly and efficient other practices need to follow suit. read more

Dr. Chuck is simply AMAZING. Extremely knowledgeable, super friendly and makes you feel comfortable. I've been to many different doctors, chiropractors, and even acupuncturists over the years and I am confident in saying Dr. Chuck is the best chiropractor in SF. Not only is he extremely sound in his craft, he has a knack for explaining clearly the issues you are having and why you may be having them. Doctors never seem to take the time to do this anymore, but not Dr. Chuck. He has a friendly attitude and is very easy to speak with as well as takes the time to answer any and all your questions in lay terms. I am an avid fan of what preventative chiropractic care can provide, especially if you are physically active. Dr. Chuck is a wonderful chiropractor. I highly recommend him. read more

I was in a car accident about 2 weeks ago, and I've had 3 visits with DR Chuck since the accident. Not only is Dr. Chuck an amazing Chiropractor, but the office staff is pleasant, interesting, and understanding. With late appointments to accommodate my schedule to helping me out with supplies and exercises for my recovery, its an easy choice for me. Dr Chuck, let me tell you what, he is an amazing Chiropractor. He is very patient, understanding, and seems to genuinely care about your well being and recovery. I'm still on the long road to recovery, but I have a feeling it will be a little easier than expected thanks to the skill of Dr. Chuck. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Chuck and the staff at Mission Bay Chiropractic, they are amazing! With so many Chiropractic care choices in SF make the right one, like I did, and go see them! read more

I've seen Dr. Wayne on and off for 5 years and can say that he is absolutely fantastic! I sit at a desk all day long and have some pretty sever back/neck/shoulder problems. Dr. Wayne listens carefully, adjusts thoughtfully, and has the best attitude/manners. I really do recommend him to all of my friends. read more

Not only were they able to see me right away, the day after a major car accident, but Dr. Wayne was very gentle and caring about my condition. He has started me with an easy treatment as we help the swelling retreat, and I am confident in his approach. After about a week, my pain is a bit worse, and his treatment is slightly more aggressive. It is hard being injured and working, but he is really helping me. read more

I have been to many many chiropractors and massage therapists in my day, and Dr. Wayne and Gina are literally the best I've ever had. Dr. Wayne (chiropractor) is extremely attentive, explains what he is doing and why, and showing me how my spine is changing and improving over time. He makes sure to loosen the muscles around each part of the spine to be adjusted before he adjusts (read, micro massage). Gina (massage therapist) may be a magician. She also explains and engages me throughout the massage to explain where she is applying pressure and why, and to ask when I feel a release. After 6 weeks with these two, I sleep better, run faster, and have more energy. read more

I work in front of the computer all day and developed major back and shoulder pain. The pain and ache got so bad that I was losing sleep. With recommendation from my friend, I went to Dr. Wayne Yuen for adjustments. Dr. Wayne Yuen has been amazing. I feel so much better now and I can finally sleep! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Wayne. I went to a few different chiropractors looking to solve a bad headache I'd been getting for years with no luck. At the suggestion of a friend I went to see him. In my first session he recognized that my jaw was offset ever so slightly and it was causing pressure on one side of my head. After only a handful of sessions he was able to fix something I thought I'd have to live with for the rest of my life! Thanks Dr. Wayne! I also recommend the masseuse Gina who works with him. She is very intuitive and can target problem areas with absolute precision. read more

I came to Mission Bay Chiropractic for help with a tweaked lower back and hip as well as a chronic shoulder issue that I had been dealing with for a year and a half. Dr. Chuck Affatato has been very helpful with both issues, both with his hands-on adjustments and treatment and his advice on adjustments I've made in my daily routines, stretches, posture, and ergonomic setup to improve the way I feel. Dr. Chuck started with a very thorough first consultation at our first visit. In addition to a careful examination, we had an in-depth conversation about what I do on a day-to-day basis and my health history. Dr. Chuck was very knowledgeable in advising on my issues in a holistic way. He cleared up my lower back issue after the first visit. For my more stubborn shoulder issue, he gave me a combination of adjustments and recommendations on how to change my posture and office setup to prevent and manage what had been bothering me. I felt a lot better and had much better tools to care for my shoulder because of his help. Dr. Chuck is an expert on ergonomics and even stopped by my office to look at my computer and desk setup in my work space. I've made several small changes there, too, and am feeling the difference. read more

My wife had been experiencing some serious lower back problems for years and we finally decided something needed to be done. MBC was nearby and accepted our insurance, so she gave it a shot. Worked with Dr Chuck for a number of months and saw great improvement. Somewhat typical guy that I am, I had occasional neck and shoulder pain but suffered through it. One day I woke up and felt nearly immobile, and the pain was awful. I gave in and the helpful office staff scheduled me in immediately and got all the paperwork done in advance. I met with Dr Chuck, who has a really great personality, wonderful rapport, and obivously knew his stuff. We discussed the current issue and history going back 10 years, and Dr Chuck correctly identified that much (if not all) of this stemmed back to an injury 10 years ago. The session ended with some great bodywork, a plan that fit my schedule for return visits, and homework in the form of some great online guides for stretches. The immediate pain was gone within a day or two, and over the next few weeks we continued the work with an eye toward healing and prevention. We've since left the Bay Area, but both of us miss MBC and Dr Chuck in particular. Highly recommended! read more

This review is for Dr Wayne AND Robert the massage therapist. I had back spasms for about 2 weeks and went to go see Dr. Wayne. After a few sessions with Dr. Wayne, my back was in less pain, and the muscles relaxed enough to get a massage (to relieve the rest of the muscle tightness). Thanks Dr. Wayne!! Dr. Wayne recommended the in-house massage therapist, Robert. Robert is about 6' 2" and about 220lbs, a big dude. I figured if he can't apply enough pressure, nobody can. I booked right away. Robert is awesome. He is strong and can get to any muscle you want, no matter how deep. After the first session, I felt 70% better. After the second appt, I felt 110% better. Yes 110%, because i fell better now than usual. If you need a strong massage, look no further than Robert at Mission Bay Chiropractic. read more

So fun to come into this office. Not only are the chiropractors knowledgeable and address body imbalances, the staff is wonderful! You should come in for quality work and enjoy the greeting with the staff. The experience fits under, "Life is Good." read more

Mission Bay Chiropractic - Keturah has her antenae up under the shade forest at the office. - Chiropractors Near Me - San Francisco, California

Synopsis: Great and convenient! Dets.: I "injured" myself in a fairly embarrassing way: I sneezed on the toilet and had a rib go "out". Needless to say, I was in a lot of pain and needed to be seen on short notice. Luckily Dr. Chuck was available and was able to get me in. He was (and is) personable, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. In addition to my adjustment, he came to my office to evaluate my desk set-up to ensure it was ergonomically sound. I will continue visiting him and recommend him to anyone in the area. Thanks, Dr. Chuck! read more

I've never been to a chiropractor before and was a bit nervous. I came in with shoulder and hip pains and poor posture. I met with Dr. Chuck. I described the pains and their culprits and he was thorough in describing how we would be addressing the issues and patient with all my questions and concerns. The muscle work and adjustments are incredible. Every pain I've described has been immediately addressed and improved. Dr. Chuck has also equipped me with numerous stretches and exercises to do daily. I work in Mission Bay, so the doc dropped by my office to do an ergonomic evaluation, for free! He observed my posture and I explained to him the various positions I find myself sitting in: how I tend to slouch in my chair, lean on my arm rests, etc. He explained the importance of proper posture and then assessed my work station. With his recommendations, I worked with our office services team to acquire all the equipment necessary to create the ideal work space. We adjusted the height and distance of my monitors, installed a keyboard tray for proper wrist alignment, purchased a proper seat (a workout ball + foot rest!), and all of my computer accessories are now ergonomic. These changes were so easy to make and they have truly made a world of difference in my day to day life. Since working with Dr. Chuck, I've noticed huge improvements in my posture and my body's performance. He's also been a major part of what has inspired me to adopt a healthier and more active lifestyle. read more

I was skeptical about the place but my acute, sudden lower back pain didn't leave me much choice. Plus, 5-star Yelp rating can't be wrong, right? I saw improvements and felt relief immediately after my first appointment. That was exciting - and reassuring - considering I could barely stand up straight after having spent 2.5 days in bed with pain. Dr. Chuck is knowledgeable, patient, and a good listener. Best of all, relief is immediate. Love it! And...a shout out to Naomi, their receptionist. Pleasant, professional, perfect. I can't believe how easy the whole experience has been. They'll be my go-to for sure! read more

Lets start by saying Dr. Wayne is the MAN! SO about a month ago I was on a family boating trip.. the kind where I would usually sit around a sip Bud Lights and eat Ruffles all afternoon.. When my much stronger and younger cousin said, "Don't be an old lady Annie, let's see what you can do on a wakeboard".. Fast forward to today when I have been seeing Dr. Wayne ever since said wakeboarding incident. Dr. Wayne has been so incredibly helpful. From my first assessment where I could not turn my head or bend forward to now where my initial injuries have healed and I'm making huge strides in my posture and creating a healthier spine, Dr. Wayne has been professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and considerate. He even came to my work to assess my seating arrangement and came up with cheap/free ways to make it better for me for no cost! I will continue to see him and would recommend this office to anyone. Oh and they take most insurance and offer sweet deals if you have none. read more

I have visited many chiropractors in the past few years and this office is by far the absolute best. Dr Yuen is the epidemy of professional. He diagnosed me thouroughly but before he even got there, he asked about me, what I was feeling, anything he could to gain a better understanding of why I needed treatment. His adjustments were comfortable and he sent me home loose as ever with a bunch of online stretches before my next visit. I HIGHLY recommend!!! Naomi at the front is the sweetest as well. read more

I was here for chiropractic treatment and saw Dr. Wayne. Let me say that he is the third chiropractor I've seen and his knowledge and thoroughness of diagnoses and treatment go far beyond what the other two chiropractors have done for me. Not that the other two were wrong, but Dr. Wayne is clearly more knowledgeable and comfortable in his work. He found two additional misalignments of my spine and pointed out one additional problem in my posture that the two previous chiropractors did not notice. I am also very impressed by how he used up the full hour that I had booked with him to patiently diagnose me, treat me, and answer all my questions. As for the front desk ladies who've I had the pleasure of talking to (Lyz and Keturah), they are highly cordial, friendly, and helpful. The only thing that was weird is that they do not file claims to the secondary insurance. They said the process is easier and smoother if I do it. Apparently it's standard in the chiropractic industry. I've never heard that before and found that odd but I am sure they are not being lazy or negligent. Yes I will be back even though my health insurance covers 0% for it until my super high deductible is met. read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING GOING HERE. This was the worst medical experience I have ever experienced. I went to Dr. Wayne with low back/hip stiffness when I woke up after sleeping or sitting for long with the thought process that an adjustment or two would loosen me up. Upon leaving the second adjustment I experienced sever sciatic pain to the point I couldn't walk longer then 30 seconds without experience crippling pain and having to lay down. Dr. Wayne insisted it was muscular and continued for 7 more sessions to work on my muscles. Finally, I went to a sports medicine doctor who quickly diagnosed as herniated disc presumably caused by the adjustments. I have been going to physical therapy now since early May and am just starting to get better. I have been an athlete my entire life and have never experienced an injury. I strongly encourage anyone to stay away. read more

I've been seeing Dr Chuck for over a year now for my various sports- and work-related injuries. I work at a computer for ~12 hrs/day and also lift weights ~5 days/wk, and these come with their nasty RSI's which can be incredibly frustrating and sometimes even debilitating. Every time something comes up, the first thing I do is book an appointment with Dr. Chuck. He is very patient and attentive, and he really knows his stuff -- he has helped me get over wrist, back, shoulder, biceps, and knee problems. He is great at explaining the issues and helping you analyze and eliminate the root causes of the problems. He is also a great guy to talk to, very understanding and down-to-earth. Definitely recommend to anyone who spends a lot of time in front of a computer screen and/or trains regularly. read more

The staff is very friendly and helpful! The receptionist clearly explains the process for new patients and greets me warmly during each of my visits. Dr. Wayne is also friendly and best of all he's very thorough. I have seen chiropractors for years and I was impressed by how he took the time to carefully listen to all of my symptoms until he was able to identify my issue. I really appreciated it as my issue wasn't very obvious. Each time I visit he thoughtfully describes my current progress and recommendations for how to continue to improve. There's also an in-office masseuse who is amazing! She finds tension points so easily and works hard to massage them away. Get ready to take some deep breaths because a massage with her is no joke. All in all, you'll walk away feeling more relaxed and with less discomfort! This staff is awesome :) read more

Dr. Wayne and Dr. Chuck are so great! After my accident, I really only trusted them with my case. They offer conservative , effective chiropractic care and they are the most welcoming chiros I've ever worked with. They always have a different playlist in the office. The enviroment and the degree of professionalism here is so very condusive to healing. Thank you guys. You are a wonderful team. PS. Gina the massage therapist is AMAZING! Just by mapping the tension in my muscles, she was able to accurately determine the exact positioning of my body at point of impact. GIVE HER A TRY, TOO!! read more

Dr. Chuck is an excellent Chiropractor. He makes you feel welcome, clearly explains what he's doing and why he's doing it, and gives you clear instructions to take care of your own health outside his office. If you're looking for help getting in to optimal health, you should be visiting Mission Bay Chiropractic. read more

I was dealing with chronic and pretty intense head/neck/shoulder/back pain. At its worst, I couldn't even get comfortable in bed to fall asleep. I started seeing Katy for massage therapy and felt much better for about a week after each treatment, but then my muscles would cramp back up. She suggested I add chiro to the mix, and the combination has been life changing. I'm no longer in constant pain / always worried about how I'm sitting/standing/laying. We're still working on a few things, but the progress is already great :) Katy and Dr. Wayne are both awesome -- they really care and are trying to help me feel better permanently. Dr. Wayne even came to my office to do an ergonomic evaluation. Plus, Keturah & Cookie make the administrative stuff a breeze. I so appreciate that the office has handled insurance issues on my behalf. And they add extra joy and spice to the MBC experience! read more
