Mission Bay Chiropractic

My partner and I have been going to Dr. Wayne Yuen for the last 5 months and he has made a big difference with each adjustments. However, the true value is in the education that he provides. He teaches you different methods and techniques to prolong each adjustment, because at the end of the day. It’s up to you to sit and stretch properly.
I’ve had a few chiropractors prior to Dr. Wayne, his knowledge exceeds them all– by far.

Dr. Chuck is excellent. I can do no more than say that all the other 5-​star reviews are accurate and well-​deserved.

Dr Affatato is amazing. I noticed results right away and continued to heal. He does amazing work and even conducted an ergonomic assessment of my work place. The sessions are both therapeutic and educational. I would recommend the doctor to all of my friends

Dr. Chuck is simply AMAZING. Extremely knowledgeable, super friendly and makes you feel comfortable.
I’ve been to many different doctors, chiropractors, and even acupuncturists over the years and I am confident in saying Dr. Chuck is the best chiropractor in SF. Not only is he extremely sound in his craft, he has a knack for explaining clearly the issues you are having and why you may be having them. Doctors never seem to take the time to do this anymore, but not Dr. Chuck. He has a friendly attitude and is very easy to speak with as well as takes the time to answer any and all your questions in lay terms.
I am an avid fan of what preventative chiropractic care can provide, especially if you are physically active. Dr. Chuck is a wonderful chiropractor. I highly recommend him.

I have always had a bad lower back. Most of the time I am fine, but the most insignificant movements would send it into spasms. With the urging of my fiancé to seek help, I began to see many specialists and had little success. I even tried acupuncture. I have to admit my sceptacism regarding Chiropractic medicine, but it was my last option. I was referred to Dr. Affatato from an associate and cannot thank him enough! He was curteous, approachable and extremely knowledgable. By the next day I was already moving better than I had in weeks!

I started seeing Dr. Chuck at the end of Dec. 2009 when I woke up one morning unable to move my neck without excruciating pain. I spent two days staying home from work and laying on the floor before I decided my pain was not going away on its own.
I was able to see Dr. Chuck the same morning I called. He spent over an hour evaluating and treating my pain, and I left that day with more mobility and less pain. I went back every day for the rest of the week, and by the end of that week I was feeling considerably better. I continued seeing Dr. Chuck for the next couple months treating an old car accident injury, and I now feel so much better and have strengthened my neck/​back muscles greatly due to his treatment and take home exercises.
I am so grateful for the time Dr. Chuck took to evaluate my specific needs over the months I saw him. I have been to Chiropractors in years past (for car accidents and sport injuries), and I felt the treatment I received from them was very generic and impersonal, and they only helped temporarily if at all. I have never had a Chiropractor track my progress as intricately as Dr. Chuck has or spend as much time explaining why I feel the way I do and how to counteract the pain as he has.
I absolutely recommend Dr. Chuck for anyone looking for pain relief or anyone who is not entirely satisfied with the Dr. they are currently seeing.

I came to Dr. Chuck with a very sore back and extremely tight and knotted-​up shoulders with burning pain, as well as daily headaches.
During my first appointment, Dr. Chuck spent over an hour going over my medical history and examining my posture and alignment. He is very serious about his work and extremely thorough. He explained everything he was doing every step of the way and made me feel very comfortable and at ease.
I have since been back a few times and I don’t have any pain at all: no burning pain, no headaches, nothing! Not only has Dr. Chuck helped realign my body, he also showed me different stretches I can do on my own at home. I would highly recommend paying Dr. Chuck a visit if you have any aches or pains, as well as simply for an overall «tuneup». I will definitely keep coming back as I intend on always feeling this great!

I am so happy that I found Mission Bay Chiropractic. Dr. Chuck Affatato has helped me greatly with a medial ligament injury on my left knee and plantar faciitis in my right foot. When I went to him I was in so much pain that I thought I was going to have to have surgery. He diagnosed my problems right away and started a treatment plan that I could work on at home with massage, exercise, and stretching that really sped up my recovery. His knowledge of my injuries was reassuring and his ability to explain my progress each visit helped me to not get discouraged with what I know is usually a long recovery. I am very confident about his abilities and trust his approach to improve my health.

OUCH, MY BACK HURTS! Lol, that’s what I was saying until I paid a visit to Dr. Chuck Affatato. My back has been anything but exceptional due to car accident a few years back, my rather large breast augmentation, and continual abusing snowboarding (or rather falling delightfully down a mountain side on my butt) trips. My symptoms included tight neck and shoulders as well as a shooting pain up my spine 1 – 2 times a day when leaning over. I began having trouble sleeping and finally, after a recent agonizing trip to New York, had had enough and went in search of a good Chiropractor. Too my rescue was Dr. Chuck Affatato at Mission Bay Chiropractic!
Upon arrival, I was pleasantly greeted by a very kind and professional Dr. Affatato who gave me a full exam in order to properly asses the causes and cures of my ailments. He showed me how various movements and activities had tightened certain muscles in my back, leading to my pains. For example, having a breast augmentation under the muscle had rolled the muscles (don’t ask me what the technical name of these muscles are, but Dr. Affatato knew!) in my shoulders forward, causing tightness in my neck and shoulders. He also gently assessed my lower back pains, noting that due to muscle tightness my left leg was about a half inch shorter than my right… After a complete exam he popped, stretched, and maneuvered my body in ways I never knew possible. By the end of my session my range of motion in my neck and shoulders had drastically improved! He was also able to loosen muscles in my lower back resulting in even legs! Woohoo! Before I pranced out of my session he demonstrated various stretches I could do daily to improve my situation.
That night when I got home I did my stretches as instructed and, for the first time in a few months, slept like a new born baby after a healthy feeding! I feel great, fabulous, like I could mold my body into a human pretzel! I would recommend Dr. Chuck Affatato and Mission Bay Chiropractic to anyone having back pains! Take care of yourself people; your body is your temple!

As a personal trainer I have teamed up with Dr. Chuck to work together with our patients/​clients to provide the best body work possible for people in need of better health.
He has an in-​depth knowledge and seasoned experience with a broad spectrum of the population, making him an outstanding source of Chiropractic care.
He respects his patients and provides care to their exact needs.
I can, with confidence, recommend Dr. Chuck and his work. He is amongst the best body workers I know.

Dr. Chuck is the best. I have a hip injury from cheerleading in high school and occasionally the pain comes back to me. After seeing him 3 times, my body felt aligned again. I haven’t had any problems since then and that was about 4−5months ago. Dr. Chuck is a super easy going guy and does a phenomenal job in his work.

I had been suffering from neck pain and chronic tension headaches for over a year when I decided to see Dr. Affatao per a friend’s recommendation. I was very pleased that he took the time to listen to my concerns as I can get nervous with adjusments. Dr. Affatato was very gentle and did a great job explaining everything to me. He even gave me tips on exercises and stretches that I can do on my own.
I have been a patient of his for about a month and my headaches are now a thing of the past. I am also sleeping better which is an added bonus!
I highly recommend Dr. Affatato!

I had sustained a serious wrist injury earlier this year training. After hearing several good recommendations from people I trust, I went to see Dr. Affatato. I’ve never had a chiropractor look at one of my injuries before, so naturally I was a bit hesitant.
After several minutes of consultation, Dr. Affatato put my fears at ease.
He is very thorough and the results were amazing. My body healed quickly and efficiently. I have gone back for several checkups and the results are consistent.
I highly recommend Dr. Affatato. He’s definitely the real deal.
