What we offer

Our Chiropractic Neurology Services in Cathedral Hill, CA

At NeuroAxis Health, we provide Cathedral Hill patients with a comprehensive range of chiropractic neurology and neuro-rehabilitation services. Located along the central Van Ness medical corridor, our clinic works seamlessly alongside local medical providers to bridge the gap between acute medical diagnostics and active functional brain rehabilitation.

NeuroAxis Health Clinical Reception and Patient Care Facility in San Francisco
Concussion & Brain Injury

Recovering from a concussion requires an active, targeted rehabilitation strategy rather than prolonged isolation in a dark room. For Cathedral Hill patients experiencing persistent headaches, dizziness, sensitivity to light or noise, or memory challenges after a head impact, NeuroAxis Health performs comprehensive ocular-vestibular and cognitive testing to guide rapid, lasting recovery.

Dizziness & Vertigo Treatment

Debilitating dizziness or vertigo can severely impair daily activities, whether crossing busy multi-lane intersections along Geary Boulevard or navigating apartment complexes in Cathedral Hill. We utilize advanced videonystagmography (VNG) to pinpoint the exact inner ear or central vestibular dysfunction, delivering precise canalith repositioning or vestibular habituation therapy.

Balance & Movement Disorders

Gait instability and fear of falling can dramatically restrict independence, especially for mature adults living in Cathedral Hill high-rises. Our specialized balance assessments isolate visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory inputs to retrain equilibrium reflexes, improve postural stability, and prevent dangerous falls.

Peripheral neuropathy sensory nerve stimulation and diagnostic examination
Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment

Peripheral neuropathy—causing burning pain, numbness, tingling, or sensory loss in the feet and legs—poses a major threat to balance and quality of life. NeuroAxis Health applies non-invasive photobiomodulation (cold laser), targeted electro-stimulation, and metabolic neuro-protection to revitalize nerve endings and restore sensation.

Cognitive rehabilitation and brain fog symptom recovery treatment for long COVID
Long COVID Syndrome Care

Long COVID neurological complications—including persistent brain fog, autonomic dysregulation (POTS), and chronic fatigue—continue to affect many Cathedral Hill residents. Our clinic maps autonomic function and applies gentle, graded neuroplastic exercises designed to restore systemic balance without triggering symptom flare-ups.

Specialized neurological therapy for chronic migraines, cluster headaches, and facial pain
Migraine Treatment

Migraines are complex neurological events that involve central brainstem sensitization, vascular changes, and cervical spinal nerve irritation. For Cathedral Hill patients seeking lasting relief without constant pharmaceutical dependence, we target the underlying cervical and autonomic triggers to dramatically reduce attack frequency.

Advanced quantitative brain PET scan diagnostic evaluation for traumatic brain injury
Stroke Recovery

Post-stroke recovery is an ongoing journey that benefits tremendously from targeted neuroplastic rehabilitation. NeuroAxis Health partners with stroke survivors across Cathedral Hill, providing customized motor retraining, sensory re-education, and non-invasive neuromodulation to maximize functional independence.

Sports injury and post-traumatic spinal concussion rehabilitation therapy
Sport & Spine Injury Treatment

Whether dealing with chronic cervical spine stiffness, sciatica, or herniated lumbar discs, spinal biomechanical dysfunction can compress vital nerve pathways. We utilize computerized spinal decompression and gentle chiropractic adjustments to alleviate nerve pressure, improve spinal alignment, and relieve pain.

Remote neurofeedback and quantitative EEG brainwave therapy monitoring at home
Remote Neurofeedback Services

Our Remote Neurofeedback program gives Cathedral Hill patients access to advanced, clinically supervised EEG brainwave training from the comfort of their homes. Following an initial in-clinic QEEG brain map, our clinical team monitors your home training sessions to optimize brain performance and sleep.

About Cathedral Hill, San Francisco - Book Now

Cathedral Hill is a prominent, centrally located San Francisco neighborhood situated along the crest of the Geary corridor, directly between Pacific Heights to the north, Nob Hill to the east, and Japantown to the west. Dominated by the dramatic, modern architecture of Saint Mary of the Assumption Cathedral, the area is also home to major high-rise residential communities and prominent medical facilities including the state-of-the-art CPMC Van Ness Hospital campus at Geary and Van Ness.

Because Cathedral Hill represents the heart of San Francisco’s medical district, many residents regularly visit major healthcare centers for routine evaluations. However, patients with persistent post-concussion symptoms, complex dizziness, or chronic neuropathy often find that standard hospital workups show “normal” MRI scans, leaving them with limited functional guidance. NeuroAxis Health provides the specialized functional neurology bridge these patients need.

NeuroAxis Health proudly serves patients from Cathedral Hill, Japantown, Lower Pacific Heights, and the broader 94109 zip code. Our clinic at 2000 Van Ness Avenue is just 4 blocks north along the Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, offering immediate walking or transit access. Call (415) 776-7040 today to schedule your consultation.

I went to Dr. Chung for vertigo (BPPV). My vertigo started severe and put me in the ER. I did the Epley maneuver on my own many times once I was home with some, but not all, relief. After a week of two steps forward and one step back healing, I was anxious to get rid of the vertigo. Dr. Chung used special camera glasses to track the nystagmus and do maneuvers accordingly. It was comforting to know it wasn’t just guess work. I did the maneuvers he told me to do that night, and felt better the next morning. It’s been over 24 hours, and I haven’t experienced any vertigo! I cried tears of happiness; I’m so grateful this practice exists!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Dr. Chung and NeuroAxis Health! I came here struggling with frequent dizziness, headaches, brain fog, and lightheadedness, which were significantly affecting my daily life. After completing 13 treatment sessions, I can confidently say that my condition has improved tremendously. Most of my symptoms are now almost completely gone! Dr. Chung is very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. He really knows what he is doing. Whenever I ask him questions, he takes the time to explain everything clearly and scientifically, which I really appreciate. His treatments, including laser therapy and electrical stimulation, have also been very helpful for me. If you are experiencing similar issues to what I had, I highly recommend Dr. Chung. I’m very happy with my results and grateful for his help!

What a godsend! I had been suffering near constant debilitating migraines from a car accident injury that kept getting worse. I tried steroid shots, radio frequency ablation, you name it, I was desperate to get rid of the awful pain and regain my once active life. Dr. Jesse Tolentino at NeuroAxis is a true miracle worker. Such impressive skill and very compassionate, she has changed my world with her committed care to my healing. I was a bit scared at first because I have a really tricky neck with many complications including osteoporosis. But she assured me with her experience in resolving such issues. Thank god I'm able to function normally again! I can't say enough good things about this wonderful doctor. I highly recommend going here. You will be well taken care of...

I am seeing both Dr. Tolentino and Dr. Chung for sleep issues (I wake up pretty much every hour) and migraines on occasion. My sleep patterns have improved significantly. I am now doing remote-neurofeedback and doing my treatments before bed. Training my brain to sleep through the night. So grateful for these two Docs!

Before I went to Dr Chung, I was having imbalance issues, unable to move my eyes in certain ways without causing immediate and severe neurological issues, and plagued with insomnia and night terrors. Dr Chung's treatment was literally the ONLY thing that helped improve my symptoms. He genuinely cares about his patients' wellbeing and is even willing to work with them on financial issues. I can't recommend him enough!

Dr. Chung is the best in the city, along with his entire staff who are all so friendly, caring, and knowledgeable! I had a horrible nerve issue that was ongoing for a year post-ankle fracture surgery, and saw 5+ doctors that couldn’t diagnose or figure out why I was having the issue. At one point it was difficult to even walk or day to day activities without feeling chronic pain. Then I saw Dr. Chung, who helped me beyond addressing the root cause - and provided a holistic and long-term treatment. My treatment included advanced red-light therapy, physical therapy, chiropractor sessions, and recommendations for lifestyle changes. He’s changed my life for the better, now living pain-free and back to a very active life - so couldn’t recommend Dr. Chung and his team more!

This is a place where healing happens. My brain and I are in a much better place than when I walked through the doors 5 1/2 months ago. Dr. Chung and Dr. Jessica know how to transform the quality of life for each and every patient. My family and friends are happy to see the new me. I’m grateful that I chose NeuroAxis Health and I hope you do too.
Dr. Chung and the team here are beyond incredible. I feel so lucky to have them helping and supporting me! Dr. Chung is very kind and knowledgeable and is great. Cannot recommend seeing him and going to the practice more!

Amazingly thorough assessments, kind and empathetic staff, and easy to communicate with.
Dr Chung was extremely attentive and caring, and had a lot of tools in his belt. I felt that he was genuinely determined to help me heal my migraines. Really quality care, and a myriad of offerings.
In just a few months, Dr. Chung has made such a difference in my life. When I came to Dr. Chung about my migraines, I was at the end of my rope. I’d tried just about every preventative pharmaceutical on the market and was still having migraines multiple times a week, usually requiring triptans for relief. Within weeks of working with Dr. Chung, I was experiencing significantly fewer migraines and today I am happy to report that I’m two months headache-free. I feel better than I ever thought possible and am working with my primary care physician to taper off preventive pharmaceuticals. I know this would not have been possible without Dr. Chung and his team. Dr. Chung has a comprehensive, innovative, and compassionate approach to diagnostics and care -- he really tried to get to the bottom of what was causing my migraines, and then designed a customized program of treatment that included neurofeedback, chiropractic adjustments, laser and electrical stimulation, and balance and visual rehab. At each step of the process, he explained the data and science behind the process, which helped engage me in the treatment. He is and his colleague, Dr. Fox, are also incredibly kind, and it is a pleasure to work with them. I am so grateful for their work.

Dr. Chung is the reason I’m a functional human again. I had 2 serious head traumas that left me severely impaired, and he helped me heal and resume cognitive and neural functions. I was a wreck! People don’t believe me when I tell them how I was after my injuries. Forever grateful to him. Super knowledgeable, kind, patient, and overall wonderful human! I recommend him to anyone & everyone who suffered a concussion. He’s the best!!

Working with Dr. Chung has been revolutionary for my traumatic brain injury. For the last few years, I have been experiencing post-concussive symptoms related to vision, balance, and coordination. I came to Dr. Chung feeling defeated and hopeless and through his in-depth assessments, he put many of the pieces together and provided personalized treatment that targets my weaknesses. He keeps all of the details in mind when creating the exercises so that nothing is overlooked or missed. He provides his treatment with the push, persistence and understanding that I need to overcome my symptoms. If you are someone who is suffering from balance, vision issues, concussions or brain injury symptoms, Dr. Chung will provide you the right help towards recovery.

Dr. Chung is everything you’d want in a practitioner; he’s kind, knowledgeable, caring and exceptional in his skills. I originally came for migraine help (and haven’t had a single migraine since my first appointment) and am excited to continue the work on this through his very holistic and comprehensive approach (adjustments, Biofeedback and more). Last week I had a serious inflammation in my knee which completely debilitated me. Just left his office with range of motion and significant less pain after he carefully and methodically worked to uncover the source of the injury and how to relieve the pain and adjust the muscles and joints. He also sent me home equipped with gentle exercises to continue the healing. I’ve seen many practitioners in my life and so far Dr. Chung stands out in all the ways that matter when choosing a doctor.

I've been seeing Dr. Chung since July of 2016 for a lower back issue I developed nearly a decade ago playing collegiate soccer. I've seen a number of chiropractors, orthopaedists, and physical therapists in the interceding years but nothing seemed to work. However, Dr. Chung has managed to accurately diagnose and treat me. I still see Dr. Chung occasionally for routine maintenance as I can't seem to stay away from the soccer field! Dr. Chung's a personable and considerate professional and is a pleasure to work with.

I came to Dr. Chung because of an injury I sustained in a car accident. I'd been to several doctors previously who were unable to heal my injuries and I was suffering from post concussion symptoms as well as a great deal of neck and back pain. What I liked best about working with Dr. Chung is how patient he is with me and how he takes the time to answer every single one of my questions. Healing from an injury this big can be a very scary experience but I was glad to know I was in very kind and capable hands. I fully trust Dr. Chung, I think he cares about his patients and he is ALWAYS driven by his desire to help heal people. He came into this practice because of his own experience healing from an injury and that is helpful because it makes him empathetic since he knows how it feels to be the patient as well. I am truly grateful to Dr. Chung for helping me through this experience and I will be revisiting him for maintenance care as long as I live in the Bay area.

Dr. Chung has helped me with several different issues. I've had problems with a fractured foot, different back problems, and a concussion. One of the problems with my back I've had for many years . Since I've been seeing Dr. Chung my problem has cleared up completely. I'm able to do things now I could not do before without having a flare-up with my back. Dr. Chung is comprehensive in his evaluations. He often finds areas I didn't know were not working right and I feel so much better after his treatment. He is very kind and caring. He is a good listener and educates his patients about how you can continue to improve your health. I've also had some cognitive issues and was beginning to withdraw from some parts my life. With Dr. Chung's help and recommendations for home self-care I'm feeling better overall.
