The doctor has fixed years of neck pain, back pain and daily headaches. He was able to tell visually that there was curvature issues with my spine and built a precise treatment plan based on my X-rays. No other chiropractor had previously explained cause and effect of my physiology and lifestyle choices, nor with the intention for actual healing. Best chiro in SF! read more

I first came to see Dr. Benson around 2020. As a professional musician, my daily life requires long hours of intensive practice. I would often practice for eight hours or more a day, sitting for two to three hours at a time without getting up or any stretching activities. Over time, the combination of prolonged sitting and a lack of core strength training led to severe back pain. My back became extremely tight, and at times I could barely walk, and I felt like I were a hundred years old. There were even days when I was unable to turn over with intense pain in bed. Around 2020, I experienced another episode where I could not stand up straight. Desperate, I searched on Google and found Dr. Benson nearby. I was able to get an appointment quickly. I still remember how I struggled to leave my apartment, moving step by step with great pain and suffering, getting into a friend's car, and then slowly making my way into his clinic. When your spine is misaligned, nothing feels right, sitting, standing, or lying down all become painful. Dr. Benson first took X-rays and conducted a thorough evaluation. Before starting treatment, he also documented my condition with before-and-after comparisons, including a clear difference between my two legs lengths. After my first spinal adjustment, I experienced immediate relief. At the very least, I was able to walk out of the clinic upright instead of feeling like I had to crawl in and out. Over the years since then, I have seen more than ten different practitioners, including chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and other specialists. I also tried various medications and traditional treatments. Because I did not have insurance, all expenses were out of my own pocket, totaling over $10,000. At one clinic run by a Chinese herb practitioner from Hong Kong, I spent nearly $5,000 alone. Each session felt extremely painful, almost like torture, and I had to follow strict dietary restrictions, avoiding foods such as seafood, mangoes, and lamb, etc. I also spent over $3,000 on herbal medicine from another practitioner and took it for one to two years, but my back pain was never truly resolved. It was not until around September or October of last year 2025 that I began consistent treatment again with Dr. Benson, visiting two to three times per week. After about two months, I started to notice significant improvements. I was able to do household chores again and could stand for longer periods without pain. Today, I am no longer troubled by back pain at all, and I have even started to rebuild my physical strength and fitness. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Benson for his professionalism, care, and effective treatment. His work has truly changed my quality of life. I sincerely hope that more people who are struggling with pain can find him and experience the same relief and recovery that I have. read more

Benson Chiropractic is the real deal. Yesterday was my first visit with "Doctor Legend" A.K.A. (Dr. Tam) A gifted man on the top of his game. I was crippled the past couple of months with upper back pain. Some days worse than others.

Truly unbelievable and my back was easily, 80% less painful. I cannot believe that I feel so much better, after only one visit. I look forward to all my upcoming appointments with this great man.

Dr. Tam listened to me, and assured me that he's gonna do all that He can two make sure that I leave with no more pain, which has been so helpful. He addressed all of my concerns, which I felt I was finally being heard. He has great bedside manner and is very patient, not to mention he's always energetic and reminds his patients to smile. The staff here are so kind. There are two Michelle's here. One does billing and the other is the medical assistant. I spoke with Michelle with the billing department, and she was able to assist me with all my billing concerns as it was a third party billing due to a car accident, and I was a bit confused on how it worked. Nevertheless, she was able to make sure that I had all the necessary information Michelle the medical assistant is very friendly and does a great job with multitasking. She's very funny and always busy helping all of us patient's. Thank you so much for the hard work that you all do.

I have been coming to Benson Chiropractic for just over 2 months, and in that short time Dr. Tam has done more good than I expected in such a short time. Dr. Tam listens carefully and seems to pinpoint his adjustment in the perfect place. Often times the manipulation hurts some but the results are undeniable My pain has been greatly reduced. Dr. Tam, is great at what he does, however he doesn't do all of this alone. He has 2 very capable and professional team players. 1st there is MIchelle who is virtually the face of Benson Chiropratic. Michelle is the Chiropractic Assistant who gets things rolling. She runs the Ultrasound and the chiropractic vibrating heating pad (don't know the actual name of this device), and then there is another Michelle who I presume is the office manager. These two ladies add to the excellent care I recieve at Benson Chiropractic. I have great confidence that in the next few months I will once again see more improvement. Thanks Dr, Tam, Michelle, & Michelle! read more

I googled a chiropractor near me which it isn't that close to me but read some reviews and read they might take insurance and finally went to see a chiropractor. I have always wanted to go to one but you know hesitant, but after traveling and developing neck pain I went to see dr tam. He is a tell you like it is md. He did my initial assessment & suggested an xray..told me my issues and treatment plan and always said it's up to me if I want to come in as often as he suggests but treatment of my neck & back will take time. My back has always been tight and I do get massages but he said that's only the surface so you have to work the underline problem. So far the treatments are helping and the alignments are pretty incredible. You do feel a little dazed sometimes after adjustment. Both Michelles the technicians are so helpful & easy to talk to esp when I'm getting ultra sound therapy. Usually a fast wait or no wait and quick appointment. Pretty happy I found them. read more

great dr and staff. been going to him for years and he has helped me with my neck and back issues

Dr. Tam and the two Michelle's are very friendly, professional and efficient. I came in a year ago with a herniated disc in my lower back that was causing me pain and discomfort. Through a series of treatments, including decompressions and adjustments, my back is much more stable and feels great. I still go in once a week for maintenance, and it's so worth it. Thanks, Dr. Tam! read more

I have been searching for a chiropractor that does x-ray in the clinic and Benson Chiropractic does that which is a huge relief if you have pinched nerve. I have been to other physical therapist clinics and as much as they are professional it's hard to pinpoint the problem w/o x-ray. Dr. Benson's type of care is also more intensive. I received services that made my right arm better, he opened up my shoulders where the problem was. They don't accept Anthem insurance so make sure that they accept yours before committing. It was my first session with Dr. Benson yesterday. I need to come back 3x next week. I hope after the 3 visits are done it will be just "maintenance". I feel I had found "the one" and will continue seeing Dr. Benson going forward. The receptionist was nice and promised to provide an itemized receipt for me so that i can claim it to my HSA. The clinic is neat and clean. I can still feel a little tingling and numbness on my right arm but there's a definitely an improvement. 11/11 - my second visit. I feel so much better on my right arm. My first visit made an immediate improvement. Today We found out that my neck needs minor adjustments and realignment. Thank God i found Dr. Benson. I gave them 4 stars before because my insurance is not covered, but that's something they don't have control of. So I'm giving them 5 stars now. Go have yourself checked even though you think everything is fine. Health is wealth! read more

I came back for a follow up as I still have a slight lower back pain. I also had some hip pain on my right side that was getting to a point I wasn't able to sleep at night. I was relying on meds in order to get a decent night of sleep. Dr. Tam worked on it & loosen up the tight muscles around the area so I can now at least lay on that side without too much pain like it was before. All in all, I am glad I use Dr. Tam. I can't say "Thank you" enough. It has lessened my overall pains tremendously. read more

Benson Chiropractic - The hallway of the office. Nice and comfy. - Chiropractors Near Me - San Francisco, California

Muy buen quiropráctico. He mejorado mis malestares del cuerpo desde las primeras sesiones...

Extreme pain and swelling in right knee made movement very difficult.! DR Tam was available to treat with a successful out come in short order. X-rays revealed conditions of scoliosis, sciatica, and knee misalignment that has caused many falls due to lack of balance. DR Tam revealed the benefit of treatment would take time due to longevity of existing conditions. With treatment and icing of the right knee, relief was immediate! I am improving with time. What a remarkable team!! I highly recommend DR TAM read more

I started to see Dr. Tam spring of 2022 with a stiff neck. I could barely turn my neck 45 degrees. After about 4 months of treatment, my neck was much better. I highly recommend Dr. Tam, and his staff. read more

I went in with chronic back and neck pain. I got X-rays so they could check how my alignment was, and found out I have scoliosis. I wouldn't have known without them, and he let me know the treatment plan he had. I was told up front to feel any difference that it would take time, I trusted him and guess what? My back and neck have been doing a whole lot better. I know Dr. Benson has my best interest at heart, and thats what makes him great! read more

Dr. Tam and his team go above and beyond every time! Dr. Tam is extremely knowledgeable and provides excellent care. I have been going for ~ two months now, and I feel a drastic difference from when I initially came in with excruciating pain. Before this, I had never gone to the chiropractor. Dr. Tam and his team guided me throughout the process and made me comfortable. I highly recommend! read more

Only reason i gave 1 star is because, it made me feel like they took x-ray even though I didn't want it. Okay i get it you need to see what happened but at the end its all same adjustments they do. Because of my first visit, after all that money, they didn't even adjust my neck. NOT HONEST. I been to many chiropractors, this MOST EXPENSIVE one in a unnecessary way. if you don't have a real insurance , you have to make sure you have a good money to spend. First visit 155$ They made me do x-ray ( insisted) 180$ Second visit 95$ 430$ for 2 days of neck pain. I just feel really upset of how much I spend. I wish i checked more place before going here:/ I DO NOT RECOMMEND HERE read more

Ended up going to a chiropractor because I had headache issues. Amazing service. It's been a bit over a week and I already feel so much better. They even went above and beyond and took an x-ray for me and learned I have minor scoliosis. They offer exercises and decompression to help with treatment. They offer 24 and 36 session plans as a prepayment. They have really nice office and staff people along with a really neat and tidy office. Would highly recommend if needed. read more
