Dr. Gustin and the staff at SF Custom Chiropractic are all awesome. Very professional and knowledgeable, and the office is very spacious and clean.
My story: About 2 months ago (mid-March 2014), I injured my foot during a zombie fun run (don't ask) and went to both the ER and a podiatrist. The doctors at CPMC told me I had probably fractured my foot. They put me in a walking cast and sent me on my way with some pain meds and a bill, and told me not to do ANYTHING for 2-3 months. I'm a fairly active person so I was pretty bummed to hear that, plus I honestly didn't think my foot was fractured (I was able to finish said zombie run on it). So needless to say, I wanted a second opinion.
I was referred to Dr. G by a few people at my gym, and I had already visited his office for shoulder mobility issues. When I went in again, Dr. G examined my foot and rocktaped the area. As it turned out, my foot was only sprained. After a couple more sessions, my foot was noticeably better and I was able to walk without the cast after only 6 weeks, instead of the 8-12 weeks my podiatrist had diagnosed.
I've been to other chiropractors before, but they've always told me to lay off doing whatever it was I was doing that was causing whatever pain that I was in. I usually avoid even telling them I do crossfit, snowboarding, and other sports. At SF Custom Chiro, I appreciate how Dr. Gustin (who's also an athlete and coach) not only treats my pain and mobility issues, but he also explains why and shows different exercises to help move correctly.
I would definitely recommend for anyone in pain or injured, and especially athletes looking to improve mobility issues or for professional treatment without...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI have to start this review with wow!! .. Iām still in awe that I was lucky enough to find this place. So the hosts who manage the front desk letās just start there . The welcoming atmosphere second to none. They wonāt have you looking at paint trying to oddly be noticed without seeming too assertive , your going to be assisted and entered into the system with very helpful prompts to help you explain your reason for visiting . These people are genuine and they DO NOT lie . When they say the doctor will be with you shortly . Itās really is shortly not the typical shoooooortttttttlyyyyy .
I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Dr. Mae Li. THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! ... BAR NONE. I swear she has X-ray vision how she could look at me and get to the problem areas that I didnāt even list. Very professional and easy to communicate with and open to. Half of the recovery is being able to identify explain and communicate health care professional to client and vice versa. She has made me feel better each time I went and taught me things to empower me and help me stay on the road to feeling great. I want to come back every week and give them all of my money they are that awesome in there. So an inside gem of you didnāt catch it . If I want to come back every week they are quiet affordable . They service you supersedes the cost.
Iāve already written an essay , if I keep going back theyāll have a book from me . Exceptional Exceptional Exceptional. Iām sure every one in that office is special and as much as I want to soak up all the great care for myself , I have to say try Dr. Mae Li. . Sheās one to write home about .
Thanks SF Custom Chiropractic , Dr.Mae Li ~...
Ā Ā Ā Read morei had some upper back injury in 2015 and have been bearing the pain ever since. i visited many different chiropractors for the past 8 years but most of the treatment i received only alleviated the pain for a short period of time but never completely healed me. my pain level have been reducing but i was never pain free, the average pain level is about 3 out of 10. so these years i basically just bear the pain till the point i can't bear it anymore, then i have a chiropractic care visit.
the situation started changing when i started visiting SF Custom Chiropractic and seeing Dr. Karisa. My upper back started healing gradually and the pain level is decreasing. I visited once a week for the first month and then gradually increased the time between visits from 2 weeks to every 4 to 5 weeks. After a few month, at this point, if i keep a good posture and do the stretching and exercise regularly, i don't have any pain that bothers me. the occasional stiffness can be easily relieved with hot pack and resting.
i am still going back for an adjustment every 4 to 5 weeks just to maintain a good alignment. I was at one point thought i will be bearing this pain for the rest of my life, but apparently it doesn't have to be like that.
i'd recommend if you have a chronic pain that never seem to heal despite of years of treatment. Try SF Custom Chiropractic. You may be surprised with the right technique, how your body can still heal even if...
