I woke up with my right shoulder and mid back seized up, spasming, didn't do anything to cause it besides sleep. I got in to see Rabboni at 430pm. It was the worst he'd ever seen me, so I almost couldn't tolerate the adjustment, and we agreed to try the next day. I used ice overnight, and with his adjustments, it finally released and now it's at maybe a 1 or 2. This was seriously miracle work. read more

I started seeing Rabonni right after New Year's, and I can't recommend him enough. After years with another chiropractor, I was struggling with severe back pain since September that worsened, spreading to my shoulder, neck, and arm. As an active person who loves the gym and weekly bike rides, I was devastated when I had to stop everything. The pain was so intense I couldn't sit at my desk for more than two hours, making work nearly impossible. Rabonni was a game-changer. He took the time to dig into the root causes, explaining how years of sitting at a computer had taken a toll on my body. Through multiple weekly sessions and targeted exercises I could do at home, the pain gradually subsided. After four months, I regained my flexibility and returned to my active lifestyle. His approach is far more thorough than any chiropractor I've seen before. If you're looking for real results, Rabonni is the one to see! read more

I found Dr. Tacusalme after experiencing some whiplash, and I'm so glad I did. I can't say enough good things about him. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. He takes the time to really listen, explain what's going on, and tailor treatment to my specific needs rather than giving a one-size-fits-all approach. I've noticed a huge improvement in pain relief, mobility, and posture. What really stands out is the combination of skill, compassion, and professionalism. Every visit feels like a step forward, not just physically but in my overall well-being. I truly feel like I'm in good hands here. read more

I injured my calf while playing tennis a couple weeks ago. Rab was able to quickly make a quick prognosis of my injury. It turns out I made a micro tear on my muscle. He suggested cupping to relieve the pressure near the muscle and had me do stretches to relieve the tension. He also put on athletic tape to keep the external pressure. I also mentioned of a lower back issue which he addressed with some adjustments on my back and SI joint. As always, Rab was caring and thoughtful. I would highly recommend Rab. read more

Dr. Tacusalme is hands-down one of the best chiropractors I've ever seen. I came in for a sprained toe, and was shocked at how much relief I felt after the first visit. Later, after dropping a table on my foot (long story), I saw him again and walked out feeling significantly better. What really impresses me is how he treats the whole person, not just the pain point. He listens, takes his time, and has a gentle but confident presence that immediately puts you at ease. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for real, lasting results. read more

Dr. Rabbonni is hands-down the best sports chiropractor I've ever been to - and trust me, I've seen plenty! I visited him for care for my son who is an athlete. From the moment you walk in, you can tell he genuinely cares. He takes the time to sit down and really listen - not just to your symptoms, but to your lifestyle, training habits, and everything that might be contributing to your pain. He's incredibly thorough and thoughtful in figuring out the root cause, never rushing through appointments. His adjustments are precise, effective, and honestly life-changing; my son left feeling looser, stronger, and with noticeably less pain. On top of his exceptional skill, he gives really good advice practical rehab exercises, movement tips, and preventative strategies that actually work and fit into a busy life. He's also unbelievably generous with his time; he never watches the clock and will keep working until he's confident you're on the right track. What really sets him apart is his flexibility: evening and weekend appointments mean I never have to take time off work or miss training to get treated. He made high-level care accessible when we needed it most. Add in the fact that he's one of the friendliest, most approachable people you'll ever meet - fantastic bedside manner, zero ego, always a warm smile. If you're an athlete (or just someone who wants to move and feel better), do yourself a favor and book with him. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Love my visits with Dr. Rabbonni! He incorporates heat and massage into the treatment in a way that helps melt away tension and restrictions. His treatment focuses on treatment of the underlying issue, not rushing through patient after patient. His office is small but warm and I always feel safe and respected during the treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Rabbonni! read more

Highly recommended! I have been seeing Dr. Rabbonni for well over a year and he has helped me every single time with my various ailments. Always making sure he is available and always making sure I walk out with much less pain than when I walked in. He uses various techniques not just the traditional "bone cracking" incl. taping, cupping and soft tissue massage. read more

I'm not really a chiropractic person but Dr Rabbonni L. Tacusalme was an absolute life saver when I had some shoulder issues. Highly recommended. (Also, you don't have to have "adjustments" in order to benefit from chiropractic care!) read more

Great doctor who really goes in depth about your problems and gives you stretches to do for long term results

I have worked with Rabonni for over 10 years. He is attentive to my concerns and provides a thorough adjustment. I'm impressed with his whole body care and ability to get my body back in alignment. His focus on the muscles and underlying condition is superior to just getting a simple adjustment - his work lasts longer so I can space out my treatments. read more

Looking for a safe treatment to improve health and avoid having surgical intervention? See Dr. Rabbonni Tacusalme. We have been seeing Dr. Rabbonni Tacusalme and have the unique opportunity and experience to see him every day for a stretch of 10 days in a row. We are beyond impressed with the care and attention received. From the moment you step into the clinic, it's clear that Dr. Tacusalme is dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. He takes the time to explain the reasoning behind each treatment strategy, explaining the process and how it ties into short and long-term health benefits. Dr. Tacusalme listened and heard our goals of what we wanted to immediately accomplish (to be out of a wheelchair and able to minimally walk) in the next couple weeks as well as our expectation for long term improvement and recovery. At each visit, Dr. Tacusalme worked with us to assess daily changes and improvement. It was very surprising to see the amount of improvement each day in just the first 10 days of treatment. Dr. Tacusalme really helped to get the pain to tolerable levels and improved range of motion so that immediate surgery was no longer imminent. Then, as each day passed, Dr. Tacusalme provided treatment to move towards recovery. With all of us working together under Dr. Tacusalme's guidance and treatment, follow through with custom designed exercises, we are well on the road to recovery and to becoming even stronger and even more healthy. Dr. Tacusalme's approach is comprehensive, reminding me of the importance of consistency and suggesting specific exercises to do at home so that treatment is ongoing. This holistic approach has not only alleviated pain but also improved overall well-being and ability to function. Dr. Tacusalme's approach is to maintain the progress made and become healthier and stronger moving forward. If you are looking for a chiropractor who genuinely cares about your long-term health and well-being, we highly recommend Dr. Rabbonni Tacusalme. His expertise, compassion, and commitment to patient education are also truly outstanding. We are incredibly grateful to have Dr. Rabbonni Tacusalme part of our team on our journey to a great recovery and better health and strength. read more

Dr. Rabbonni has magic hands (and elbows, and sometimes knees) - he has a very unique way of tuning into his patient's body and finding the root of the pain or discomfort. I have been seeing Dr R off and on for 5 years now and have always appreciated his easy to talk to vibe, his willingness to see me ASAP and his amazing process of warming the body, using the thumper machine and expert adjusting. His office is super clean, relaxing and inviting - all a must for me. He has a very neat tablet based check in process where I can be very specific about what pain I am experiencing and we can track the progress in his system over time, I love data! As for recommending Dr R, I would say you are missing out if you think he is just another Chiro - the experience with him is leaps and bounds better from the moment you start a session to when you leave because Dr R is a great human that genuinely wants to help others, and you feel it through every adjustment! read more

Doctor Rabbonni Tacusalme is extremely talented in the field of body work and overall chiropractic science. He understands the human body is a seamless network of tissues, and he uses deep massage techniques with his hands, arms, elbows, along with massage guns to realign and balance the entire body. My lower back and right hip area felt severely hurt and almost frozen, and after a few sessions I felt much more aligned not to mention pain free. He adds well placed chiropractic adjustments when needed, overall he is super knowledgeable and expert at his craft. I recommend him highly. A+ read more

Rabbonni's helped me with a variety of injuries over the year - from normal back stuff to knees and even my jaw when I pulled something. Highly recommend, he's knowledgeable and most importantly careful with his adjustments. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Rabbonni. I have had chronic back and neck pain from a car accident that happened 8 years ago and for the first time, I feel relief! He has drastically improved my quality of life. Not to mention, he is thoughtful and kind :) read more

I started seeing Rabbonni after having some foot pain. He saw some problems with my feet, but also looked at my back as well, and eventually ordered me custom orthotics that have made my feet feel better than they have in years. He is the most relaxing chiropractor I've ever been to, Starting each session with a lengthy period of heat, relaxing, and vibrator massage. My back is always tight, so this is always very rejuvenating. His adjustments after this preparation are very gentle. read more

Dr. Rabboni came highly recommended by a friend and I decided to take a chance with him to see if he could help with some of my chronic pain. I'm so glad I did! I appreciated how thorough and present he has been during our sessions and his treatments and recommendations have made a huge difference in my pain level. I never thought I could run again and now it seems possible! read more

Dr. Rabbonni is a truly gifted chiropractor, his adjustments & muscle work are perfect and very healing..

I have been seeing Dr. Rabbonni since my hip surgery last year. He is super thorough and thoughtful when it comes to the treatment. What I appreciate the most is that Dr. Rabbonni will always make sure your body is heated up by heat pads and loose before he starts adjusting you. He can always pinpoint what's happening in other parts of my body if my hip is acting up in a certain way. He also gives you stretches and strengthening exercises to complete the treatment at home too. I really don't think I would be back to walking/running/exercising within a year of the hip surgery without Dr. Rabbonni. I highly recommend Dr. Rabbonni if you're looking to improve your health long term from chronic pain. read more

Dr. Rabbonni helped me work through chronic issues I had tried for years to fix. He is insanely knowledgable and effective as a chiropractor and therapist. I have recommended him to countless close friends in the area. Give him a try!! P.S. If you have chronic pain/injuries like me, the first few sessions can be a bit intense. DON'T QUIT! Real therapy isn't always fun, but it's 110% worth it to be able to permanently get through things. 5 stars for sure!! read more

I have been to numerous chiropractic appointments over the past three years and I am serious when I say that Dr. Rabbonni is the best chiropractor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He was very flexible in booking my first appointment and upon first entering, he greeted me with a smile and gave me a great breakdown of what to expect when working with him. You can definitely tell that he loves what he does and has very in-depth knowledge of the subject. Dr. Rabbonni was thorough in my diagnosis and asked pertinent, specific questions of where I was experiencing pain. What distinguishes him from other chiropractors is his attention to detail, especially when it comes to addressing the root cause (as opposed to the symptoms of pain). He paid a lot of attention to my muscles and only after that, did he do the adjustments that I am typically used to. I felt immediate relief after the visit and will definitely continue working with him in the future. He even called and emailed me to follow-up on how I was feeling after the visit - now THAT is signs of someone who actually cares about their patients. Thank you, Dr. Rabbonni! read more

I think I may have written a review years ago while I was DESPERATE for a chiropractor I was in so much pain. My current one was away, all the others I was recommended were full, so I went to YELP and took a chance. I even said to one of my sisters, "Am I crazy picking a chiro from Yelp?" She said to go for it after I read her reviews of Dr. Rabbonni . I'm so glad I did. Been going to him for a few years now. He now only sees one patient at a time, and has only one room, so do be patient cuz he might give the person before you a few extra minutes, as he may do you if needed. He is great at reading the body to figure out what's going on and mainly uses active release to help get into those places that are tight, tweeked, and killing you. It doesn't always feel good while he is working on you (sometimes it hurts like heck), but usually within a day or two there is release. He'll also give you stretches or exercises if needed. He's a nice guy trying to run a small business and juggle kids in the mix. Just so you know he hasn't had a chance to update his website. Contact him for current prices before making your appointment. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Tacusalme is a miracle worker. I went to see him on a Thursday morning with extreme pain in my shoulder. I couldn't move my arm more than a few degrees or I would buckle in pain. As soon as an hour following my intial treatment the pain and range of motion were greatly improved. After 2nd visit I am probably 90% back and pain free. My only gripe is that he doesn't take insurance and cash pay adds up quick. For me the working of miracles was priceless. read more

Dr Rabboni is good chiropractor but this review is for insurance practices. I have premera blue cross insurance and even though he said insurance coverage is there after certain amount, he never filed claims with my insurance. This is quite inconvenient as i lost 1k due to this and despite mutlple requests he did not follow with insurance. Atleast he should be transparent that he does not accept insurance or would not file claims, why lie ? read more

This guy is the best chiropractor in SF. Dr. Tacosalme is an extremely gifted chiropractor, if you can get in to see him you'll be glad you did. There is a reason he's hired to help so many local and Pro sports teams. The guy helps me stay in top condition, and pain free. It's been 3 years, and I am extremely satisfied with the care I have been receiving. Thanks Dr. Tacosalme! read more

I hate to write a negative review because the chiropractor was very nice and caring, but I think it's only fair to others to see my perspective. I had severe neck pain/stiff neck and was desperate to have it fixed so I called around to fine a chiropractor that accepts insurance. The chiropractor said he did accept it so I went. After filling out almost 45 minutes of paperwork, and re-entering the same information on his iPad/website, I was told we'd start the treatment while on hold with the insurance company. Then I spent another 20 minutes laying face down. He'd come in and buzz my neck with a homedics massager, left me there another 20 minutes. Came back in, attached electrodes for muscle relaxation, left me there another 20 minutes. This went on a couple more times. Then cracked maybe only 2 vertebrae in my neck (probably due to my neck being so stiff). After 3.5 hours of being there he charges me $280. No X-ray, no relief. In fact my neck pain was worse the next day I had to call in sick to work and see a medical doctor. Maybe seeing a chiropractor for a stiff neck wasn't the smartest thing for me to do. I left with more pain than I arrived and felt robbed of my time and two hundred and eighty dollars of hard earned work!!! Proceed cautiously read more

Axis Chiropractic, integrated care - This is the burn on the back of my neck after the electrode muscle relaxer therapy - Chiropractors Near Me - San Francisco, California

Dr. Rabboni is a healer - he takes the time to work with your body, allowing for rest between adjustments. He helped me overcome a sprained ankle in a few months that my own doctor said would take a year to heal. Know that he takes time, and just tell him if you need to be out by a certain time. He has continued to help me with other injuries and is a warm and caring doctor. read more

I am going on like 8 years now of seeing Dr. Rabboni. I tried a few other chiropractors and gave up, Dr. Rabboni is my Chiropractor until he retires (which I hope isn't for a LONG time). I have went through some really tough times coming back from a severe concussion from an accident. He has been not only a huge instrument of healing the last 8 years, but also a great teacher on how to take care of and maintain my health in general. He is extremely thorough, very knowledgeable, and is always up on the latest technology. I have never been injured in any way from his adjustments, electrode muscle relaxer treatments, physical therapy treatments, sports massage treatments, or any recommended stretches he has prescribed. Not once in 8 years! He does take his time with helping patience. If he feels your muscles are to tight to handle an adjustment, he will leave heating pads on you for a while to try and get your muscles relaxed. He also might do some sports massage. I have noticed over the years often times he only has to do that when I have not been stretching enough. I appreciate the extra time, and appreciate that the adjustment works better when my muscles are relaxed. As for me it is no exaggeration when I say I genuinely credit him for my ability to walk. I have had a lot to work through, and probably still have another 1-2 years I will need consistent treatment. I couldn't have gotten to where I am without this doctor, and am extremely thankful for all the healing he has helped me achieve. Thanks so much Dr, Rabboni for all your help healing. read more

DR. Rabbonni Tacusalme is a caring, skilled and talented chiropractor that has treated me many times. I recommend him to myself and my patients as I am retiring from being a chiropractor. I like that Dr. Tacuslame was already a real good chiropractor when I first meet him and it has been a pleasure to see him progress from there. It has been over 2 decades and still progressing, fabulous and a great delight. Thank you for my last adjustment my upper back right SI and elbow feel much better. read more

Rabboni has *great* hands. He's also got personal knowledge of injury (due to his past as a competitive skater) and can embrace holistic medicine without ignoring lessons from anatomy and techniques from Western science, including hot pads, elec stim and ultrasound. Most importantly, as other reviewers noted, he's a patient listener and will take the time to work with you to figure out an appropriate plan for recovery and maintenance. Over the past 12 years I've referred dozens of my friends and co-workers here, and everyone adores Rabboni. read more

I sought treatment with Dr. Tacusalme a couple of years ago when I was rear ended in a freeway car accident. I was very locked up in my neck and back due to whiplash and found it difficult to sit for long periods of time, drive and get up out of bed in the morning. Dr. Tacusalme's treatments involved the use of some electrical stimulation, heat, massage and gentle adjustments. His care and healing touch was much appreciated and helped me to get back to normal. This was much appreciated, as it allowed me to get back to my passion of playing golf! Thank you Dr. Tacusalme. I highly recommend you! read more

After a fall left me unable to move my right arm at the shoulder, i didn't know what to do. Since my health insurance has such a high deductible, I couldn't afford to get an MRI or go to the hospital. After a week of toughing it out, i called the nearest chiropractor (I live in the Sunset). Dr. Rabonni answered immediately, urged me to come in for a free consultation and assured me he could help. After the consultation, I knew I wanted a session with him. He found an appointment opening for me the very next day. The session was AMAZING! Not only did it provide immediate relief for my injury. it was also deeply relaxing and pleasant. After a few weeks of doing the stretches he suggested, I have zero residual pain. This was money VERY well spent. I am so glad I didn't go for the traditional, costly treatment approach. Even more so, I cannot express what a relief it was to receive care from a doctor who did not seem intent on wasting money and time. Dr. Rabonni understands the human body and works with it, rather than relying on pills to mask the symptoms. He was considerate, helpful and clearly experienced. What a joy. Thank you Dr. Rabonni! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Lisa Mercury-Rea at Tacusalme Chiropractic for several years now. I was in a major car accident years ago for which I have chronic pain in my neck. I always notice a difference when I see Dr. Lisa regularly. When I forget to schedule an appointment, I can always tell because I begin to wonder why I'm feeling so much pain. Then, I schedule an appointment and within a few visits I'm back to feeling better again. She has a way of blending several techniques that make it a whole body experience. I leave her office feeling relaxed. She truly has that healing touch. Thank you Lisa for helping me to feel great! Karen -- www.fightingbacknow.com read more

Josie is my girl.. Simply put, I spend a lot of time seriously abusing my body on a daily basis (yea, that didn't come out quite right now, did it?). To say the least, if it wasn't for J's incredible talent and care for me, I would not be able to do my job or care for my clients.. I can't begin to recommend her her more highly. A true special healer that has no idea how good she really is. See her before the rest of the world finds her or the day when I will steal her all for myself.... DC read more

My family and I have been treated by Rab & his group for 10 yrs. My tall adolescent daughter is a dancer & actress who sometimes experiences minor injuries in rehearsal and on stage. My partner is an avid cyclist always in training for one of his many competitive ride. The Axis colleagues are always responsive to sports related injuries whether on an urgent basis or when seen on regular check ups. As an RN and doula I also highly recommend Axis Chiropractic for pregnant women. I refer my clients to him when they are experiencing low back pain and wish to consult with someone with his expertise. In addition his ability to balance and relax new mums as they approach their due date is amazing. read more

Rabonni Tacusalme is amazing and caring healer. I have neck, back and shoulder pain for years that comes from being a desk monkey, surfer and cyclist. It took a few months but he was able to loosen and get me back to a pain free existence. He is also an awesome dude!! Cheers Greg read more

I went in a few days ago to support a loved one's backache and help get him get some last minute care- he had a flare up from an old injury and could hardly walk. The staff at Axis were able to schedule us last minute (to be seen within the hour!) and the amount of care was fantastic. The ambiance was very calming and Rabbonni really went out of his way to show us where the injury was and all the steps he was taking to help correct the issue. By the end of the first session, most of the pain was relieved and we walked out with stretches to practice until the next appointment. The second appointment was even better than the first, with Rabbonni showing me ways to help with my loved one's recovery between appointments (stretches I could help him with.) Price wise, it was a little bit of a sticker shock, however two days out from the second appointment and my loved one has no pain and has actually said his back feels better than it did even before the flare up-- the price was MORE THAN worth it. I would definitely go back if I had my own injury because I know I would be well taken care of. Very professional- very on-point! read more

Rabbonni really helped us with my last weeks of pregnancy. Our baby was breach and we had an unsuccessful version attempt at the hospital but after seeing Rabbonni 3x to balance my hips and sacrum, I felt the baby slightly change position and felt more space in my hips and our 2nd version attempt was successful. I am at 39 weeks and baby is positioned correctly. read more

Been meaning to write this... last Nov I had such a pain in my upper shoulder and neck I was crying. My chiropractor who I loved and had went to for like 20 plus years, had retired - Chris Ross, Golden Gate Chiro. I called my acupuncturist - out of town, her partner a chiro -out of town, a recommendation - no time. So.... I braved it and went on Yelp. Who the heck would trust Yelp for a chiro. I was not a happy-camper to have to go to this extreme, but the pain was unbearable. Read the reviews for Dr. Tacosalme. Sounded great. Called my sister to see if I should risk it. She talked me into it. THANK YOU sis! Dr. Tacosalme is a fantastic chiro. I came out of the appointment with like a 2 pain level instead of killer 10 +++. I asked him not to do any cracking, which he didn't. He really worked on me for a long time, trigger point release, heat, and the relief was life altering. Fast forward to today. It's been 8 months and now I end up going about 1 x a month. The appointments are long if you aren't going in for a quick-fix appt. I got some old tense spots, so I do the long appt. The insurance issue is different for everyone. My insurance barely covers any of the cost, yet, if you can swing it, he's worth it. Nice guy, knowledgable, has you participate sometimes in resisting some of the points he is working on, and it is sometimes slightly painful, yet, ya gotta go through the pain to heal the pain. IMHO. Plus, it is kinda the pain that yes, it hurts, but like you know its gonna feel better after the knot releases. He'll also make recommendations for exercises, which we went over today per my request. As far as the reviewers about paperwork, I get it, YET, we can't be great at every single aspect of our profession. I'd MUCH rather have someone who totally understands how the body works, and can help me feel soooo much better, then do a lousy job fixing my body, and knows how to file insurance forms. Right? If you are looking for a new chiro, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Rabbonni Tacosalme. read more
