"One of the best chiropractors ever is right in Sunset (SF). Managed to get my back into shape in 1 visit."

Kat F.-San Francisco, CA-8/21/2009
"I have been going to Axis since I popped a rib years ago, 2004 I think. Rabbonni always helps with the problem and most important he uses heat and electric stimulation to loosen the muscle before moving the bones back into place. I used to go to a different chiro who basically did assembly line pops and I always hurt more after going. Axis is fabulous. He has a sliding pay scale to accommodate low budgets but is worth his full cost if you can pay it."

"After a minor car accident and already recuperating from shoulder surgery, Rabbonni was able to treat me and take what could have been a major setback into a minor week...also in the healing process he is willing to explore the different avenues and channels to co-create a well body...and he cracks me up with his silly humor."

"Mr. Rabbonni Tacusalme is not only chiropractor, but also a healer, who understands the whole picture of a human being not only on physical / structural  level, but also energetically, which makes a huge difference in overall healing!  I love his treatments where he can tell me exactly what is out of place and brings it nicely back together and energy can start to  flow right away. I feel he spends lots of time with each patient, so your money is well spent on your  well being you deserve! With my personal healing I also had an emotional energy get unstuck in my cervical spine, after he adjusted my skull, which most chiropractors never do, and which affected my healing on a profound level."

Jim B.-Marin, CA-7/17/2009
"Rabbonni Tacusalme is more than a chiropractor. He listens first, ask questions next then listens again and then works with your body to bring about pain relief and subsequent healing. And it works, my injury is on the mend and although I hope I don't need to, I would not hesitate to call the doctor if I get hurt again..."

Patricia V.-San Francisco, CA-6/23/2009
"Dr. Rabbonni Tacusalme totally saves me.  I train super hard in circus arts, fall sometimes and need to get back on my feet to training and my active life.  When I get a treatment from Rabbonni he is spot on with his adjustments and I know my healing is speed up from his care. I'm so grateful for him. I would recommend him to anyone, especially athlete.  Have you seen his children, I know they get adjustments and they are bright, smart active kids.  Really cool to see."

Heather M.-San Francisco, CA-5/26/2009
"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."

Amber S.-San Francisco, CA-4/13/2009
"I've seen many Chiropractors, Dr. T. fits the bill and is worth every penny.   I'm a sports enthusiast; injuries comes and goes.  He is intuitive and listens to you, your body and your concerns.  I trust him with all my injuries.  I highly recomend his wellness visits to stay "inline"and limber to prevent injury."

Edgar G.-San Francisco, CA-3/16/2009
"I remember coming here last year to get my back checked out after landing on my back from a recent snowboard trip. Dr. Tacusalme took care of me for a few weeks, and after that I felt a lot better. I'll be sure to be back if anything happens to my back."

Trisha A.-Taylorsville, CA-2/16/2009
"I do know the doctor...but I will review anyway because folks need to know about this natural healer with the sensitive talent he has required to adjust and balance a body. Dr. Tacusalme is a holestic healer and takes the time to understand his patients life.  Admirably, his personal background  is full of love and devotion to  family which reflects in his  dedication and commitment to his healing work. If you are serious about healing yourself.....let this man help you!"

Colleen O.-San Francisco, CA-2/4/2009
"I've seen many chiropractors over the years and Dr. Tacusalme is the best. He has what I call a "healer's touch". It's not just that he has a great grasp of biomechanics and the logistics of the body but his work is special in other ways. There's a quality to his adjustments that allow me feel more relaxed and balanced afterward than other chiropractors. I once sprained my ankle very badly; I went to Dr. Tacusalme and not a regular, Western-medicine doctor and he did a great job. The ankle healed beautifully... better than the other ankle that had been sprained in an accident a few years prior (and that ankle had been treated by an outrageously expensive orthopedic doc who treated me like a number). I recommend him to all my peeps!"

Chris S.-Daly City, CA-1/30/2009
"I have been getting regular treatments from Dr. Tacusalme for about 12 yrs. He is the only physician that I consult with on a regular basis. He is the perfect match for me as a practicioner of self healing through qigong and nutritional and herbal remedies. He has aided in my complete healing of mid back spinal pain and a few ankle and foot injuries. His hands seem to find the right places. In spite of the human fallability factor, I have never been hurt by him in my twice monthly sessions for well over a decade. He has great skill in keying in on fine adjustments as well as possessing an incredible knowledge of manipulating all body areas with his caring touch. In addition to his remarkable technique, Dr. Rabbonni is a lover of people and truly believes in his work.  People feel like he is their friend."

"ahhh...What a wonderful relief I received today at axis.  I have seen this practitioner for many years now and each time I make a visit, I leave completely satisfied.  I think it is important to note the a good chiropractor has the ability to listen ask the right kinds of questions and then treat accordingly.  This has been my experience.since my first visit. Dr. T is wise and is doctor who has his heart in the right place which is to help his folks get better.  Just ask for what you need and you shall receive with this one!"

Andee R.-San Francisco, CA-1/28/2009
"When I saw Dr. Rabboni Taculsame, I had a lower back pain that my primary care physician thought I was "faking" as part of a workmen's comp claim. I made my appointment & Dr. T asked me several questions about my pain. Up until then I had never considered Chiropractic medicine. The Dr. made me feel comfortable & relaxed. After treatment we made a follow up appointment. Upon my return I explained to the Dr. that I still had the lower back pain.  He thought for a minute and suggested that I may have an "internal" problem. I made another appointment with my primary care physician & I was admitted to the hospital for a C.T. scan.  I was diagnosed with stage 2 Lymphoma. After chemo I am now cancer free. I truly believe Dr. Tacusalme started my healing process. Not necessarily thru his knowledge of Chiropractic medicine, but, his knowledge of the human body. Today's medical practice is so muddled in insurance & medical groups, it is so easy for your "primary care" physician to be more concerned with pharmaceutical  salesmen & keeping records for insurance payments, that treating the Patient is secondary. If you are looking for a caring, patient & educated individual, then see Dr. Tacusalme."

"I have been a patient since Jan 2008 and am eternally grateful that I found Axis Chiropractic. I have suffered from chronic back pain for about 15 years, the result of a congenital condition, and I cannot describe the relief and improvement in mobility/function my visits have given me..in my experience, I did not respond well at all to osteopathy (I persisted for quite a while when I was younger) and while I had some relief from acupuncture I felt it was treating the symptoms (ie. pain) and not the cause. I think it's important to point out that, as a research scientist with a Ph.D. in the biomedical field, I do not take decisions based on my health and well-being lightly (nor do I make uninformed decisions in the same context).

My initial visit was after a 10 hour plane journey where someone in front had their seat back jammed right into me (I am 6'5")...I could hardly walk when I disembarked and had a flare-up, including very painful back spasms..even walking and standing up straight was exceedingly painful...my back even completely locked up in bed that night and I could not move for several hours...it's acute pain and discomfort I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I started visiting Dr Rabbonni Tacusalme the next day and, in a short time, he helped me to recover 100% mobility. I visit weekly to maintain a healthy back and spine and I feel more flexible than I have in years. Speaking as someone who regularly interacts with medical doctors in their profession, I would say that Dr. Tacusalme is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely seems interested in my overall health..much more than some MDs I've visited in the US revolving-door health system. Back pain is not easily remedied and one needs to be patient on the road to recovery...I have benefited enormously from regular visits in conjunction with the exercises he gives me to do at home...my visits include adjustments etc. plus comprehensively outlining what I should be doing at home/work to help maintain the good work he is doing. My posture has also improved greatly (although I think I could put more effort into improving that myself !)

He is an incredibly friendly guy (as are all the staff) and I always look forward to my appointments..he always makes an effort to fit me into his schedule. He was very upfront on pricing etc. from the very start (I think you should also have the very basic common sense to ask if you are unsure though) and I have no objections there...on a personal note,  he and everyone else that I've met at the practice have the good grace to laugh at my terrible jokes..always a plus ;)"

"Dr. Tacusalme has treated me for about 5 years, i have received excellent treatment from him.  He has paid special attention to my specific injuries, and not only treated my issues but also provided advice and techniques for healing myself.  Dr. Tacusalme and his staff are professional, and compassionate people that care about their clients.  I was referred to him by a friend and have also referred friends since. Dr. Tacusalme  also treated a friend of mine who visiting from outside the country who was suddenly injured. Dr. T, treated my friend like he was a long time client and provided terrific service. I would like to recommend Dr. Tacusalme to anyone who is interested in a holistic healing experience that is comprehensive and compassionate."

Linda & Peter W.-San Francisco, CA-7/29/2008
"Axis Chiropractic, with Rabbonni Tacusalme as the main chiropractor, is the most amazing chiropractor I've ever worked with (& I've had back & neck problems for more than 40 years, including both lumbar & cervical surgeries).  He never forces anything, does a lot of muscle & tissue work, & has gotten things to move that no other chiropractor has ever moved. I've got 3 fused vertebrae & a titanium plate in my neck, but Rabbonni is able to work around that area & get movement in other parts of my neck. I also see an acupuncturist & an osteopath & talk to them extensively about my chiropractic treatment---all of the therapists are in agreement on how Rabbonni's work complements theirs.  My husband has been seeing him for the past 3 years & also loves his work. I recommend Rabbonni absolutely & unconditionally--you'll be happy you went!!"

Alex C.-San Francisco, CA-6/26/2008
"Rabbonni 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. No clammy-handed mumbling new-age noodlehead, he! Over the past 8 years I've referred dozens of my friends and co-workers here, and everyone adores Rabbonni. And he's built his storefront into a "healing center" with other practitioners (massage, rehab) working in the same spot, for a one-stop pain shop."

Bruce F.-Philadelphia, PA-12/18/2007
"Dr. Tacusalme is one of the most gifted, knowledgeable healers in any profession I've ever met. I've seen many chiropractors and body workers for some chronic problems, and Rabbonni's deep knowledge of body mechanics, treatment therapies, and rehab approaches, combined with his emotional insight and empathy, is unique. His staff all have a warm, generous spirit, a reflection of Rabbonni's own. One of my big regrets in moving from the Bay Area is losing my relationship with this truly gifted group of people."

K. L.-San Francisco, CA-8/31/2007
"I have been seeing Dr. Lisa Mercury-Rea at (Axis 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

Corinne L.-San Francisco, CA-8/22/2007
"Dr. Tacusalme has helped me so much!  When I first walked into his office my back was in awful shape but he's helped me get my quality of life back!  He rules and I give him my highest recommendation.  He's kind, thorough, and patient.  His office staff is very nice as well."

Tamara S.-El Cerrito, CA-7/26/2007
"I just had the most amazing chiropractic treatment ever from Dr. Rabbonni Tacusalme. I've been to many chiropractors over the years, and thought that I had found the best, Dr. Rabbonni takes the cake! He is an attentive listener, asking very pointed and useful questions, with a friendly, comfortable demeanor. He adjusted points on my spine that either have never been adjusted, or haven't been adjusted in years! I walked out of there floating on air. I also, purely by my own inspiration, immediately made another appointment. I highly, absolutely, recommend Dr. Rabbonni!"

Brian S.-San Francisco, CA-3/19/2007
"I've been to numerous chiropractors, massage therapists, etc. before finding Dr. Rabbonni Tacusalme. He understands that bad posture and alignment can't just be fixed with a crack here and a snap there, and works with me to transform my bad habits with exercises and treatments that act as antidotes to my problems. He is familiar with everything I've ever tried, from meditation and acupuncture to surgery, and uses a mixture of techniques himself. He routinely spends anywhere from a half hour to an hour with me and has helped me to make real progress on my seriously bad posture and the pain it has caused me after 30 years. He cares about my well-being as a person, and is a true healer."

Arena-San Francisco, CA-3/19/2007
"Tacusalme was recommended to me by two good friends who swear by him and now I do too. Dr Tacusalme has a great holistic approach to getting me back into alignment. He's also a lot of fun to talk to about sports and running a small business. I highly recommend him to anyone that would benefit from chiropractic work!"
