Alfred A Ueda, DC CCEP ART

Dr. Ueda is a deeply knowledgeable and caring chiropractor. The first thing you will notice about Dr. Ueda is how much he seems to enjoy working with his patients. His enthusiasm and positive, outgoing personality are rare in the medical field.
When I first arrived in his office my back and neck were in full spasm and I was having terrible headaches. He explained to me in great detail what was happening and used a program on his iPad to show me what what was causing my pain, and how he was going to treat it. Over a period of several months Dr. Ueda treated me for both chronic & periodic pain and through his treatment I was able to stop my use of pain medications.
From the very beginning he took care to make me understand what was going on and at every step treatment, helped me to improve both my strength and range of motion. Dr. Ueda is a stellar chiropractor and wouldn’t hesitate to send any of my friends or family to see him. I would also like to give credit to his front office staff at the Potrero Hill office. They are all very professional and helpful with scheduling my appointments.
If you want the best chiropractic care go see Dr. Ueda!

He is AWESOME.
But he is overbooked. Too hard to get in. If you have to reschedule for some reason you can’t get another appointment for at least a week. Removing any chance of making any progress.

If I could give him 10 stars, I would. He is the best Chiropractor I’ve ever seen. I will refer him to all my friends.

all i can say is if you need a chiropractor you gotta see alfred ueda.
all i can say is I am amazed by the results
and what a great sense of humor…
if you are looking for someone he’s the man to see.

if i could give him more stars, i would. i have another review for a chiropractor in sf, but have to honestly say that dr. al ueda is the real deal. if i ever need to see a chiropractor ever again, i would not consider anyone else but al.
his knowledge and strength has turned my achy back in to days of being pain free. no seriously, if you are really tired of going to bed achy and waking up in just as much pain… you should truly consider this doctor.
he has not only made my life a lot less painful, he has educated me on ways to keep the pain away. you will not be disappointed. his bedside manner is quirky and he is a fun and personable guy. he’s great at describing all the parts of the body while he goes through the stretches with you, which is really informative and extremely interesting. i learned so much more about how my body worked, which in turn gave me the knowledge to do the appropriate stretches for the areas of pain i had. i didn’t look forward to the (sometimes) painful stretches he made me go through, but i did look forward to knowing that i’d be much more limber and painfree afterwards.
he has completely healed my lower back and the dull/​sharp/​excruciating/​aching/​annoying pain is no longer existant due to his amazing care.
i will continue to speak highly of him and would recommend him to those of you looking for a well informed and helpful chiropractor. you WILL see results that will last longer than an adjustment… guaranteed.

I was referred to Dr. Ueda by another doctor at Concentra for a work related shoulder injury treatment, with expectation of some serious pains. When I first met him, my first impression of him was that he is very pleasant and friendly. As soon as his hands started working on my neck and shoulders, I knew that he was a no nonsense. This chiropractor really knows his stuffs. He is very skillful in determining which muscles and adjoining muscles causes the pain and fixed them in no time. His combinations of knowledge, dexterity and humor made me painless in no time. A magician. Dr. Ueda at Concentra Medical Center rocks!

I started seeing Dr. Ueda at Concentra Medical Center for a work-​related injury: I had severe tendonitis/​tennis elbow in both my forearms and pretty bad pain in my right neck. The pain would be so bad that I couldn’t type, lift regular dishes, or write for more than a few seconds. I was also experiencing numbness and tingling in my fingers. He treated me with regular treatments, including adjustments, physical therapy, stretches, and electrical stimulation.
But I feel like Dr. Ueda completely got rid of my pain with a fairly aggressive technique called «gua sha.» It’s based on ancient Chinese medicine. The practitioner uses a little bit of cream and a small tool to «scrape» the affected area. This is supposed to release the stagnant qi, but I think it breaks up the scarred tissue and forces your body to generate new tissue. You end up with massive bruising for several days, but it hurt less than my tendonitis pain. «Gua Sha» is definitely not for the faint of heart, but it truly worked for me!

Dr. Ueda is a Bay Area pioneer in this technique. He is really strong, but a really nice guy too. While I was seeing Dr. Ueda, physical therapy was the area of my life that was going the best. That’s how good he is!

I’ve been receiving treatment for a work-​related shoulder injuries for about five months. About a month ago I started with Dr. Ueda, and my life has changed. This guy works miracles. I am no longer in constant pain, and I *finally* feel I’m actually getting better. Very knowledgeable about the body, and how certain injuries can trigger others in unrelated parts of the body. Funny and excellent bed-​side manner. I highly recommend him.

I hurt myself at work, sprained a couple of muscles in my back, and was sent to Concentra to get myself checked out. I didn’t know what to expect; I thought if you had a workers’ comp case they would always be prone to treat you like hell, but this was a false assumption. I saw an M.D. at Concentra who wrote me a prescription for some pain pills then recommended I see their on-​site therapist about my back. The therapist was Alfred A. Ueda, and talk about heaven-​sent; this guy fixed me up in under an hour! When I went in to see him, I could barely walk, or even breathe due to the pain in my back. When I walked out of there an hour later I felt nearly at 100% again! Of course I was a little sore from the wrenching and pulling he had to do to fix me up, but oh man did he kill the pain. He knew exactly what was wrong upon examining me and had an immediate fix for the diagnoses. What a pro! I have set several ongoing appointments with Mr. Ueda over the next several weeks for ‘preventative maintenace’ purposes. I’d trust this guy with my life, but we’ll just leave it at my back if we can help it.
