I've been experiencing a loss of feeling in my foot for about eight months now, along with…read morepersistent pain between my toes for nearly the same amount of time. As someone who enjoys staying active through walking and stretching, I was filled with fear when I first began losing sensation in the heel of my foot. I wondered--Is this what life has in store for me at 50? Am I supposed to just accept the loss of feeling in my foot, with the possibility that it could eventually spread to the entire foot--or worse, other areas? Thankfully, I didn't have to accept that. Dr. Young has been adjusting both my back and foot, which consistently brought temporary relief from the painful snapping I experienced between my toes when I first started walking. However, the pain would typically return within two days. I also tried other treatments, such as athletic taping and Alpha Lipoic Acid. The supplement seemed to slow the progression--when I stopped taking it, numbness began creeping into my other foot. I also saw a pediatrist and he offered me a shot for the sensation between my toes and nothing for the numbness happening in my foot. Prior to this appointment (about two weeks ago), both doctors had collaborated on a treatment plan tailored to my symptoms--and it paid off! Last week, I came into the office in severe pain--9 out of 10 in both my foot and back. I thank the good Lord that I was already scheduled to see Dr. Young and begin Sanexas therapy with Dr. Atwell-I was ready to keep exploring and try any therapy. After Dr. Young's adjustment and my first Sanexas treatment with Dr. Atwell, I walked out of the office with my pain level reduced from a 10 to a 2! A few days later, I began to feel something unusual: cool sensations in my heel. After some research, I discovered that this sensation is actually a positive sign--an indicator that nerve healing may be underway. I continued red light therapy at home and resumed taking Alpha Lipoic Acid. Then last night--just one week after my treatment--I was shocked to discover that I had regained feeling in my foot! Even better, the painful snapping between my toes had not returned. I am beyond grateful. I highly recommend the chiropractic treatments at Kalaheo Wellness, not only for the quality of care but for the collaborative, comprehensive, and compassionate approach from both doctors. Kalae, Office Manager, and her team have also played an essential role in helping me book appointments that fit my schedule and in educating me about the innovative treatments now offered at Kalaheo Wellness. ***Honorable mention to Dr. Banks as he also has spearheaded shoe lifts and a diagnostic that allowed me to shift my balance, target habits and alleviate pain.

After a week on the island, my allergies started acting up. Afraid it would worsen and turn into a…read moresinus infection which happens regularly to me on the mainland, I sought help. After comparing acupuncturists on the island, based on experience, gut, price and availability, I decided on Flora. Her experience does not come inexpensively, but it was worth it. I had a bizarre illness the previous year that started similarly and had me out for 8 weeks. This time around, it was crucial to treat the problem in a different way. I was hesitant at first because I hadn't planned on spending the money, but also because I had never had acupuncture before. But my husband and I figured, if it helped it would be worth it. And it was. After a sleepless night feeling congested and waking up fatigued and miserable with allergies, I called Flora. She answered immediately and provided her availability the same day. If you are lucky enough for acupuncture to be covered by your insurance, she will provide you with a super bill so you can submit it to your insurance. When it came time for the appointment she said it could last between 1 to 1.5 hours. Her office was unavailable but we could use the physical therapy/chiropractor's office she uses in Hanalei. I was familiar with the location and thought the setting was just fine. After a thorough consult, she told me her game plan. She had even attempted to find some natural allergy relief pills for me at the health food store on her way into town. Unfortunately, they were out but she was able to find them from the health food store downstairs, before our session ended. Flora explained each step before she performed it and was honest about what it would feel like. At the end of our session, I felt less congested. She gave me a game plan of herbs I needed to take to stay healthy and s paper bag with those herbs at the end of the session. For the next 24 hours, I took it easy, didn't work out, ate well and followed Flora's game plan for me. I felt much better by the next day. Moreover, I could breathe! A few days later, my husband and I both felt a sore throat coming on, we both started on the Chinese herbs that Flora suggested and I'm already feeling better after the first day. If it is the fear pain that is holding you back from trying Flora, don't worry about it. It doesn't really hurt. Some areas might be sensitive, but as Flora says, "it's a good friend telling you what you may not want to hear but need to hear." If it's money holding you back, I would say, is it worth your time to be in pain, discomfort or be sick? Some things are worth the money. After spending 2 months of my life quarantined from friends and family and at the mercy of doctors and specialists, I couldn't risk it again. I had to try something different. I'm glad I did. I hope that next time we come to the island, I can plan to work with Flora again for general health and well being. I'll also know, that if I get sick while traveling, Flora will be here to help put out a fire. I would recommend Flora to anyone. Don't give it another thought, call her and schedule an appointment. Thank you for sharing your gift, Flora!
