Raymond Cheung

I’ve been going to Dr. Raymond Cheung in San Francisco for both acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments for the past 3 months. Due to a fall I had over six years ago, I have
been in pain and had difficulty living a normal life.
But now, I have NO MORE PAIN in my lower back, thanks to Dr. Raymond Cheung. He told me from the beginning that acupuncture should stop the pain but I didn’t believe it because I have seen several other doctors before and nothing really worked to completely take the pain away.
He had different methods from other acupuncturists I have used in the past. First he would spend a great deal of time locating the exact points in the body that were the source of the pain. Also only used a few needles, in precise locations. He knows what he is doing! Thanks to Dr. Raymond Cheung, now, I do not have any pain in my lower back and can have more freedom to enjoy my life.
I recommend him highly!

First visit with Dr. Cheung today. He was recommended by Dr. Yat Ki Lai, his teacher, and I knew based on that, I would be in good hands, and I was. He took care of my serious neck pain, first with his hands, then finished up with acupuncture. Just what I needed.

Dr. Cheung can heal you, trust me!
He healed a terrible back injury in 2002 that would not go away for over a year. I had been to the chiropractor numerous times with no results. I saw Dr. Cheung 2 times for this injury and it went away within a week and never came back again.
IN 2005 I hurt my neck some how and could not turn my head it was terrible. I saw him 2 times for this injury and again it went away within a few days.
Dr. Cheung knows what he is doing and I would go to him for pain management before going to orthopedic doc. He is really good and finding to source of the pain and using the needles to remove it.
Highly recommend

First of all I need to say that Raymond Cheung is THE most gifted healer from any modality that I’ve ever worked with. My praise for his is almost too good to be true.
I just read another review (long one) of him and would encourage you
to read it as well. She completely nails the unbelievable knowledge,
philosophy and skills this man has.
The beauty of Raymond is he seems completely unaware of how damn talented he is. His humility, humanity and sweetness belies
the fact that he is a miracle worker.
I have been a client of Raymond’s for YEARS and due to the amazing
work he did with/​on me in the past I only need to go about 4x a year
after seeing him only for about a couple of months for both acute and chronic hip, neck and back issues.
I send everyone I know to him who have something going on that
no-​one else has been able to remedy and he sends them out whole,
healthy, happy and singing his praises.
He IS the best Chiropractor in our Fair City! I promise you will be
putting him on your Gratitude list after you see him.

I’ve been going ot acupuncturists for 25 years, so I know what to expect from one. If I could give Dr. Cheung 10 stars I would. I’ve gone to him a number of times over the past few years for various issues. The results have frequently been miraculous.
I’ve gone to him with so much arm pain that I was unable to comb my hair and left waving my arms in the air. I saw him yesterday for a leg pain that has been making my life miserable for the last two weeks and now it barely hurts.
In addition to his extensive chiropractic and acupuncture knowledge, Dr. Cheung has the best bedside manner of any doctor I’ve ever been to see. He makes you feel completely at ease and talks to you like an old friend.
And, as if that’s not enough, he’s very reasonably priced. Sometimes insurance covers some of it, but even when it doesn’t, he’s cheaper and more effective than anyone I’ve ever been to see because he’s so effective at curing you in a session or two. None of this come to see me twice a week for the next month from him. He doesn’t waste your time or your money. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Okay, so let me first state that at one time, not too long ago, I thought chiropractics were just a load of hogwash … as evidenced by one of my favorite light bulb jokes being on this very topic:
Q: How many chiropractors does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Simple. Only one. But it takes about 67 tries.
(insert rim shot here)
But seriously … After some wrenching back issues over the years that have included chiropractics as part of the recuperation régime, I have became a firm believer due wholly to having experienced both the best of class and the worst of stereotypes.
And because of having seen a fairly decent range of chiropractic expertise, I feel pretty safe in saying that as far as San Francisco-​based chiropractors are concerned, Dr. Raymond Cheung is among the best.
I’ll leave out the tedious details of what happened, but suffice to say the last leg of a journey comprised by three … very … long … flights, didn’t do me so well. Upon arriving home, I knew I’d done some harm, so unpacked quickly before things seized up too badly … which on Wednesday they did.
Or so I’d thought.
I managed to make my way through Wednesday and thought I was in the clear, but upon awakening on Thursday found myself faced with the kind of searing, white hot knives of pain slashing through me reserved, I’d imagine, for being hit by a truck or dragged behind wild horses … over shards of gravel.
I’d scheduled an appointment with Dr. Cheung for that day, but in light of the fact I couldn’t move a finger without screaming, leaving my house — even if brought by someone — just wasn’t a good idea. I called Dr. Cheung to cancel, and he told me to take it easy and he’d check in later.
A couple of hours and gulps of Ibuprofen later, my phone rang. It was Dr. Cheung — calling from near my house. To be clear, house calls aren’t a part of Dr. Cheung’s usual service offering. He happened to have ample time in his schedule and his office is quite nearby, and since he felt that my being wholly immobile constituted an emergency, he graciously came by.
Another thing so superb about Dr. Cheung is his truly holistic approach to his work. Oftentimes the very last thing he’ll do in an appointment — that is if he does it at all — is physical adjustments. It’s his belief that in many cases manipulation of the muscles, tendons and other soft tissue can resolve the issue. There may be skeletal adjustment necessary at some point, but not as the first measure.
Upon getting to my house, the first thing Dr. Cheung did was to have me walk a little so he could see where to start. He zeroed in immediately (as always) to the precise spot and, having me lay down, did some deep pressure point work in the immediate area. Within minutes the muscle spasms began to release and the pain dissipate. After 20 minutes or so, I was able to get up on my own with only mild pain, and able to move around.
He even called to check in the next day to see how I was doing, proffered some advice on how to help speed recuperation over the next several days, and said to touch base after the weekend to give him an update.
Whether you’re a believer in Eastern medicine and the related practices or not, I would say most Western medicine practitioners would be well served by adhering to the same mindfulness to the qualitative need that patients have from their physicians — a human touch.
Oh, and should you be in the tech industry — especially in anything related to Apple or consumer electronics — be prepared for a gleeful conversation with Dr. Cheung during your appointment … he loves gadgets!
