About NeuroAxis Health

NeuroAxis Health was established with a single clear purpose: to give patients across San Francisco, including the Russian Hill community, the highest standard of chiropractic neurology care available. Over more than two decades of clinical practice, we have helped hundreds of patients navigate complex neurological conditions, recover from brain injuries, and reclaim a quality of life that felt out of reach.

 

Dr. Rachman Chung, DACNB, FACFN, QEEG-DL, leads our team with a commitment to thorough assessment, transparent communication, and individualized care. We do not believe in rushing through evaluations or offering cookie cutter treatment plans. Every Russian Hill patient we see receives our full attention, a detailed neurological workup, and a treatment plan built specifically around their situation.

Comprehensive Neurological Assessments

We begin every patient relationship with a thorough neurological evaluation, giving us the foundation to understand your condition fully and design treatment that actually works for your brain and nervous system.

More Than 20 Years of Specialized Experience

Our clinical team, led by Dr. Rachman Chung, brings over two decades of focused expertise in chiropractic neurology, functional rehabilitation, and neurotherapy to every patient we treat.

Treatment Plans Tailored to You

No two patients experience a neurological condition the same way. Your treatment at NeuroAxis Health is designed around your specific findings, lifestyle, and goals, so every step of your care is relevant, purposeful, and effective.

What we offer

Our Chiropractic Neurology Services in Russian Hill, CA

At NeuroAxis Health, we offer Russian Hill patients a comprehensive suite of chiropractic neurology services designed to address the full complexity of brain and nervous system conditions. Whether you are recovering from an acute injury, managing a long standing neurological condition, or looking to improve cognitive function, our team has the tools, knowledge, and experience to support your care from evaluation through to recovery.

Concussion & Brain Injury

Concussion and brain injury recovery takes more than rest. For Russian Hill patients living with lingering symptoms such as headaches, memory difficulties, emotional changes, or mental fatigue after a head injury, NeuroAxis Health provides detailed neurological evaluations and structured, progressive recovery programs that support the brain as it heals and help you return to the activities that matter most to you.

Dizziness & Vertigo Treatment

Chronic dizziness or recurring vertigo can make ordinary daily activities feel unsafe, and on Russian Hill’s steep streets and stairways that risk is very real. Our team works with Russian Hill patients to identify the precise neurological mechanisms behind their dizziness or vertigo and develops focused treatment strategies that target the source of the problem rather than simply suppressing the symptoms.

Balance & Movement Disorders

A decline in balance or movement control affects confidence, independence, and safety in everyday life, particularly in a neighborhood built on sharp inclines and staircases. NeuroAxis Health provides Russian Hill patients with thorough neurological assessments to identify the factors contributing to their balance or movement challenges, followed by individualized rehabilitation programs designed to rebuild stability, improve coordination, and restore ease of movement.

Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment

Peripheral neuropathy often shows up as persistent tingling, burning sensations, numbness, or weakness in the hands and feet, and it can worsen significantly without proper neurological care. At NeuroAxis Health, we look past the symptoms to evaluate and address the underlying nerve health issues, giving Russian Hill patients a clear and structured path toward meaningful symptom relief and improved function.

Long COVID Syndrome Care

The neurological effects of Long COVID remain a serious challenge for many San Francisco residents, including those in Russian Hill. Symptoms such as cognitive fog, difficulty concentrating, persistent fatigue, dizziness, and disrupted sleep are neurologically driven and respond well to targeted therapeutic intervention. Our team provides thorough evaluations and develops personalized treatment programs to help patients progressively recover their neurological function and well-being.

Migraine Treatment

Migraines are a neurological condition with real, measurable effects on quality of life. For Russian Hill patients who are tired of managing migraines reactively, NeuroAxis Health offers a proactive, neurologically informed approach. We assess the specific patterns driving your migraines and build a personalized treatment strategy that aims to reduce their frequency, lessen their severity, and give you back control over your daily life.

Stroke Recovery

Stroke recovery is a demanding and often lengthy process, but with the right neurological support, significant progress is achievable. NeuroAxis Health partners with Russian Hill patients throughout their rehabilitation journey, applying evidence based strategies to help rebuild neurological pathways, restore motor function, improve communication, and support the highest possible level of independence and recovery.

Sport & Spine Injury Treatment

Whether you are running the Hyde Street hills, training at a Polk Street gym, or dealing with a workplace spine injury, NeuroAxis Health provides Russian Hill patients with rehabilitation programs that address both the physical and neurological dimensions of recovery. Our goal is to help you heal thoroughly and return to activity with strength, coordination, and confidence.

Remote Neurofeedback Services

NeuroAxis Health’s Remote Neurofeedback program is built for Russian Hill patients who want access to advanced, clinically guided brain training without traveling to the clinic for every session. Using personalized qEEG guided protocols developed by Dr. Chung, patients can work on improving focus, reducing stress, supporting emotional regulation, enhancing sleep, and strengthening overall cognitive performance from the comfort of their own home.

About Russian Hill, San Francisco - Book Now

Russian Hill is one of San Francisco’s most recognizable neighborhoods, a steep rise between North Beach and the waterfront that takes its name from a small Russian burial site found near the summit by early settlers. It is a neighborhood of sharp grades, hidden garden lanes, and sudden views of the bay, home to the famous crooked block of Lombard Street, the Powell-Hyde cable car line, Macondray Lane, and the quiet green space of Ina Coolbrith Park.

Daily life here mixes the residential calm of the upper slopes with the restaurants, cafes, and independent shops along Polk and Hyde Streets. It is a genuinely walkable neighborhood, though the terrain asks a lot of your balance, joints, and coordination, and residents with vestibular, neurological, or spinal conditions often feel the difference here more than they would elsewhere in the city.

NeuroAxis Health is pleased to serve patients from Russian Hill and neighboring areas including Nob Hill, North Beach, Polk Gulch, Telegraph Hill, Fisherman’s Wharf, Cow Hollow, and nearby ZIP codes 94109, 94133, and 94123. Our clinic sits at the foot of the neighborhood on Van Ness Avenue and we are always welcoming new patients. Call (415) 776-7040 to arrange your first appointment with our team.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

NeuroAxis Health is committed to providing clear information and guidance for patients seeking advanced chiropractic neurology care near Russian Hill, San Francisco. Below are some commonly asked questions.

Our team treats concussion and traumatic brain injury, dizziness and vertigo, balance and movement disorders, peripheral neuropathy, migraine, stroke recovery, Long COVID neurological symptoms, and sport and spine injuries. If you are unsure whether your symptoms fall within chiropractic neurology, call (415) 776-7040 and our team will talk it through with you before you book.

Steep grades, uneven stairs, and downhill walking place heavy demand on the vestibular system, the visual system, and the joint position sensors in your ankles, hips, and neck. Terrain does not cause a balance disorder, but it does expose one early. If you feel unsteady, veer to one side, or feel briefly disoriented on the Vallejo Street or Greenwich Street steps, that is worth a proper neurological assessment rather than simply avoiding those routes.

We begin with a full neurological workup to map exactly which systems are affected, including autonomic function, eye movement control, and cognitive processing. From there we build a graded treatment program that works within your current tolerance and expands as your capacity improves, rather than pushing you into symptom flare ups.

Yes. A significant part of our patient base is older adults managing more than one condition. Our assessment process is designed to identify any factors that need care or modification, and treatment is adjusted accordingly. Many of our balance and fall prevention interventions involve no manual adjustment at all.

This is one of the most common reasons patients come to us. Standard imaging and bloodwork are designed to rule out structural disease, and they often do not measure how well the nervous system is functioning. Our assessments look at function directly, which frequently explains symptoms that earlier testing did not account for.

Not always. Our clinic on Van Ness Avenue is a short walk or a few minutes’ drive from most of Russian Hill, so in person visits are easy to fit in. Many patients also use our Remote Neurofeedback program to complete sessions at home between clinic appointments.
