Mission Wellness

Jacob was able to fit me in for a same day appointment, which was greatly appreciated given my pain and concern over my injury (especially given my late stage in pregnancy). He provided excellent service with a great depth of knowledge.
A lovely, new, bright clinic and very friendly and helpful receptionist. Highly recommended.

Service was fine, they got me back on my feet and active again after a car accident (rear ended) resulting in whiplash. Appreciated Dr. Jacobs availability on short notice and generally friendly office demeanor. Some massage therapists better than others.
But WARNING. If you’ve been in a car accident, and you’re not liable, but your case isn’t settled in whatever time period that seems reasonable to him, he will sue you.
Despite assurances that I wouldn’t have to pay until my lawsuit settled with the person who rear ended me, I found myself with numerous emails from Dr. Jacob threatening to sending me to collections and then a small-​claims lawsuit for the full sum. He wouldn’t deal with my lawyer requesting a lien until my lawsuit settled, and I had to end it all by giving him a $$$$ lump sum payment (instead of go to court).
I’ve never regretted any sort of heath care this much in my whole life. I cannot recommend seeing this doctor.

Caring, wise and engaged staff (meaning they are engaged in your care and well being). I’ve received numerous massages here and would recommend the experience to those who need self care, a pick me up, relaxation, etc. One thing to know is the treatment rooms are dark and cozy but once in a great while, the noise from outside the treatment room can get in – not a big issue for me personally since the staff seems to be interested in keeping in things quiet.
I have also worked with Dr. Jacob for back issues and he helped with adjustments as well as showing me stretches and other ideas for improving my back trouble and the discomfort did go away when I followed that advice. He is knowledgable for his field and someone I would recommend.

Going to this place was the worst decision that I’ve made in years. They do not even have X-​ray equipment on site. I was sent to another facility which is about 5 blocks away. The earliest appointment that I could make with X-​ray facility was 2 hours later. I did not move forward. I am still in pain. Will never come close to this place. Never ever recommend to anyone I care.

I got a male massage therapist who seemed to believe that healing is hurting. I could not make him stop hurting me with words, I finally got up off the table. He finally backed off then.

i had the worst experience getting a massage here. first off the therapist was arriving with hair a mess from roller blading just as i was checking in at desk. she seemed to have remnants of food in her teeth, having just eaten. then, the room was not warm. she kept the bright light on. was she flustered because she was late or because i happen to know a lot of anatomy (i work in the fitness industry and am a modern dancer) so she was intimidated? i don’t know. outside of the massage room was the chiropractor talking with others, then listening to some video really loud. she stopped the massage to ask them to be quiet which really didn’t change. i had to ask her to turn up the music to make it more tolerable. and to top it off, the strokes and the «order of events» in her massage were awful. she was all over the place. i am working mom of two kids and sadly this was one of if not the worst massage I’ve ever had. i really wish i could say i’d go back but no way!

Fantastic deep tissue massage by Alicia. Really understood my issues and did great concentrated work.
I used the Amazon Local 30% off voucher — not to be confused with most deals where you pay the price up front. This just reduced what you pay at time of service Ended up being $ 57 for 60 min, but well worth it, I’m going back.

This was due awhile ago but Dr Jacob has a «new» location in the mission and it is pretty snazzy but the price is still very reasonable, and he is still super chill.
I took a break from my adjustments for awhile and admittedly stopped doing the little exercises that he recommended so I am Quasimodo again. But he’s doing his best to bang my broken body back into shape. I need intense work and I also have a bazaaro pain threshold so he works with that so he doesn’t hurt me by accident which I really appreciate. Gotta love a big guy with a gentle touch (he kinda looks like a teddy bear but not so hairy).
Alright, I’m going to be back for awhile because I need it but he’s also made it very easy now with a $ 99/​month (4 adjustment) deal. Very reasonable.
Happy hunting for a chiro but I would recommend him! (Bear season! hahaha).

Green chiropractic clinic can say whatever they want that it was false and events didn’t happen but my invoice says and my husband was with me when it happened otherwise, I am so glad Unilocal is around for people to Unilocal when they feel they have been misguided.
I still won’t recommend Green Chiropractic clinic. Over my dead body!
Definitely a zero star if theres an option!

Chuck is amazing!
I used a Unilocal deal and discovered this place. I’m an esthetician and am on my feet all day working on people. Chuck helped me get readjusted and put me back together again!

Glenda, a massage therapist who works there, is great. She’s got an intuitive touch and is very good at adjusting to the right amount of pressure.

Dr. Jacob is the BEST! I’ve been treated by other chiropractors and can say hands down that he is the best. His method is non aggressive which I really appreciate since I’m in so much pain. We do stretches and adjustment and I really notice a difference. Dr. Jacob is very informative and caring.
Highly recommend!

One of the best redeemed Unilocal!certificates!!!
Nice work done by nice people. Got a deep tissue massage and it was AMAZING. Plus, anything the masseuses can’t fix, the chiropractor can!

You really couldn’t find a better place to receive true one-​on-​one care from both Dr. Jacob and his staff.
Chuck Paschal has magic hands. The pressure, the sensitivity, the way he listens to the body and the muscles… incredible.
I have been in some sort of back pain for entirely too long (over 3 years intermittently) and I believe that, between Chuck and Dr. Jacob, I am going to get my life back.
Do yourself a favor and give these people a chance to help.

I went in here with a Groupon the other night feeling about as low as I’ve felt in a while. My mood was in the toilet with seemingly no hope of resurrection. The massage appointment had been scheduled a couple weeks back by my boyfriend, but I thought that crawling under some blankets and dying would be preferable to hauling ass out to the Mission for a massage — even if it was supposed to be something that would make me feel better. Nothing would make me feel better. Ever.
When I arrived at Green Chiropractic, the receptionist had a bit of a time finding me on the Groupon list. We eventually figured out this was because my boyfriend had scheduled me an appointment a while ago and had to reschedule. I was pretty mortified, but while the little voice in my head told me «See? I knew this wasn’t a good idea,» the calm and friendly receptionist told me not to worry about it and we’d work it out. Which, we did. Thanks, friendly receptionist lady! Realizing that this might not be the end of my life that a massage would, in fact, be kind of nice to have at that moment, friendly receptionist and I chatted until Denise came out. And then the fun began!
I really like the little room in which they did my massage. It was toasty warm, appropriately dimly lit, and equipped with a soft carpet, some Ikea furniture on which was perched an iPod playing all my soothing favorites, and a sinfully fuzzy blanket on the massage table. Denise and I talked about how I was tense, where I was tense, and generally developed a plan of attack. She explained that she did indeed perform deep tissue massages, but did so in a manner that involved gradually increasing pressure.
The massage itself was pretty much everything I was reticent to admit that I needed. And speaking of kneaded, I couldn’t really help but think of that Loony Tunes episode in which Porky Pig is shmushed, rolled up into a basketball, dribbled a couple times, shaken out, and reconstituted. Denise was not at all afraid to tackle my worst issues, and to do so with what I thought was a goodly amount of pressure. She checked every so often to make sure I was comfortable, which I always was. I mean, there was a certain amount of discomfort while she laid siege to the gargantuan knots in my back and shoulders, but those things don’t go without a fight and, well, it was the best kind of hurt I’ve felt in a while.
When the massage was over, Denise reviewed what she had found and what she had done, and I thanked her repeatedly and tried to refrain from hugging her. The massage didn’t fix my life or anything, but it sure did give me the strength to continue doing so on my own. That night I crashed and burned, so they say, and when I awoke the next morning I was blissfully sore and in a much better frame of mind.

LOVE this place — I have been in here a couple of times for a massage and have found the staff I have seen absolutely fantastic. I will be back. I can leave work, jump off BART walk the couple of blocks after work then wander back home in a daze in my relaxed state.
I have more massages booked and will continue to book here on a regular basis, I have tried quite a few places in the city and haven’t found anyone I would recommend — sure the are OK, but now I have a go to for my massages, I am a happy camper.
*** UPDATE:
OK — so now I have been in a few times, I want to highly recommend Chuck (well his business card says Charles, but let’s call him Chuck). magic hands and I wander dazedly all the way home after a wonderful hour and a half session, well worth the extra half hour for some additional attention to the super achy/​sore parts of my body.
Do yourself a favor and get your body looked after …

This place is awesome! I bought a 60 minute sports massage using Unilocal Deal. I spent $ 50 to feel like a million bucks; a pretty good trade off if I do say so myself.
I put my body through a lot of rough and tumble. I’ve been avid weight lifter (and now obsessed CrossFitter) for quite some time now. All this nonstop activity sure takes a toll on your body. I constantly feel stiff and suffer from limited range of motion. I wouldn’t say this sports massage cured me of all my ailments, but I sure felt a whole lot better than when I came in.
The massage therapist was thorough and hit all my knots. It wasn’t just a mechanical routine, but a targeted approach that hit all the trouble areas. The time just flew by. I was in a pure relaxation zone was not coming out anytime soon.
No joke, I was pretty sore the next day. So I know my massage therapist did a great job in breaking me down.
Overall, this is a great place to come for a massage. I’m not too sure what the regular rate is, but this is definitely worth it if you have a Unilocal Deal coupon in hand.

Dr. Jacob is the BEST! So sincerely nice, and a cool guy to know. I have been in SF for 6 years, and had always driven back to my hometown chiropractor in Santa Rosa — that is, up until I found this place about a year ago. He is super patient, skilled, and welcoming. His office is modern, comfortable and in a great location. He even takes the time to work through painful knots in my shoulders when I’m in pain. Every time I leave, I feel spectacular. I’d go every day if I could.
My boyfriend also goes to Dr. Jacob now… more than I do. I’m so happy I found him!

I had an awesome experience here. It was just a couple of blocks away from BART, which is always a plus for me. The facility itself is nice, and has different shades of my fav color on the wall… green (hence, the name I assume :-))
My massage was awesome! I have major issues with my back, and the therapist did great (Chuck if his name if I remember correctly). I wish there was longer so there could have been more focus on things other than my back (which is why I rated a 4 instead of 5), but as I stated he has to focus on my back to really give me a great massage. So the quality of the massage was great!
I am scheduled to come back so that should tell you how I feel about this place.

Dear BF,
Thank you for the massage from Green Chiropractic Clinic. It was thoughtful and I really appreciated it. I had no problem booking the appointment and the receptionist was friendly. The gal that gave me massage was nice.
However, the massage itself was very disappointing. The room had bright fluorescent bulbs overhead that could not be dimmed and the towel thrown over my eyes wasn’t very relaxing. Despite the space heater, I still felt chilly and uncomfortable. I requested more pressure from the masseuse twice but little changed. I walked out a bit more relaxed but unfortunately I still had the knots in my back.
I notice that all the positive Unilocal reviews for GCC specifically reference Dr. Jacob. I was told that there are 8 masseuses there so perhaps I should have specifically requested him.
I only mention all this so you don’t buy me another gift certificate from here. Think of all the chocolate you could buy with that $$$ instead! (Just a suggestion.)

Update: Dr. Jacob sent me a note saying that they are resolving the light issue and that as the lead doctor, he does not personally perform the massages. FYI!
