This was my very first chiropractic visit, and I'm so glad I finally made the decision to book an appointment. My only regret is not doing it years ago! As a Polynesian, I like to do my research before establishing care with any business. When I came across Dr. Luke's practice, I was instantly drawn in by the Tapa I noticed in his photos. After reading more about him--seeing that he went to Kamehameha Schools (Imua!) and learning about the clientele he's built--I was sold. When I arrived at his office, I immediately noticed how quick and efficient he was with patients, yet still very welcoming. What I appreciated most was how clearly he explained what my x-rays revealed about my spine. Everything made sense, especially regarding my neck pain and migraines. I'm looking forward to working with Dr. Luke! He not only works with you financially, but also personally. I'm eager to make the necessary spine adjustments and get back to feeling normal again. If you're looking for a chiropractor in Honolulu, I highly recommend checking out Dr. Luke! read more

Went to Waikiki and felt a flare up of pain that had been lingering in my neck. Glad I found Dr. Luke! He respects your time-- had me on the table within minutes, explained my digital X-rays on the spot, and delivered a precise adjustment without ever feeling rushed. The clinic is spotless, equipped with its own state-of-the-art X-ray suite, and Dr. Luke's friendly, down-to-earth manner makes you feel instantly at ease. I walked out pain-free--a true night-and-day change from when I walked in--and I'm already lined up for follow-ups. 5 stars all around check em out ho'ola chiro when you visit Oahu read more

found dr. luke on google and he's had nothing but great reviews. i needed to find a chiropractor who could get me in asap bc i was suffering from a horrible tension headache that wouldn't go away even with medication. called me the day after my inquiry and got me in the same day during his lunch. within 2-3 visits i could already feel the difference! although he is a bit pricey, i appreciate how knowledgeable & caring he is with his patients. i also like how he takes x rays to figure out the root cause of what's going on. unfortunately there are times where i need to cancel/reschedule often but dr. luke is SUPER understanding when it comes to that. overall, amazing chiropractor who cares about his patients. read more

It's been years since I last been to a chiropractor. However as we get older, it's important to take time to out of our schedules to focus on our health. My friend suggested checking out Ho'ola Chiropractic because I work a typical desk job and have a history of neck issues. What makes this practice unique, is that they specialize in upper cervical care. Scheduling was easy as the office is open on Saturday mornings. (Because who has time during the week?) The practice is located across the street from Ala Moana. There is parking for visitors in the building or you can park at Ala Moana and walk over. The check in process was simple and just needed to fill out paperwork to address any issues. For the initial appointment, we did xrays, talk about concerns, and more. I appreciate how thorough he explained what was going on during the appointment and what treatment he would provide to aid certain areas in my neck and spine. Adjustments are fast and provide relief. Cracking noises freak me out at times so I appreciate how fast he was. Though it's not a one time fix, it's a process. Overall Dr. Luke is professional, knowledgeable, and overall feels like you've known him for years. He has a strong passion for helping others with their health. Just a tip, he also treats soon to be moms! Definitely need to check Ho'ola Chiropractic out if you're interested in chiro care. read more

Dr. Luke is an extremely competent and compassionate healer who not only addressed the very root of the chronic neck, back and jaw pain which I had to endure for many years due to a whiplash injury and poor habits in my posture but also instilled in me a sense of optimism, hope, and joy for a pain-free and healthy life! Dr. Luke explained to me in a manner that was very clear and easy to follow regarding the current structure of my cervical joints and how it was lacking a normal, healthy-S curve (images attached). In fact, I was shocked to see that my joints were inverted when I shown the X-ray images! If I were to leave as it is, he informed me that it could become a more serious problem such as getting osteoarthritis in the unforeseen future. After my first session, I noticed a significant reduction in my pain and better sleep and energy levels and was glad to find someone who I can trust. More importantly, I was surprised by the exceptional level of care and compassion he had for his patients like when I disclosed my difficult financial situation to him, Dr. Luke was willing to offer a financial plan that I could manage. I am truly blessed to meet Dr. Luke who I now consider to be my 'ohana and encourage everyone who is facing similar struggles with chronic pain and injuries to go see him right way! Mahalo Nui Loa Doc! read more

5 stars, highly recommended! Feeling great! Super close and convenient to ala Moana!!

Dr. Luke is the first chiropractor I've gone to who did an xray to my neck to determine the potential cause of migraine and vertigo I've been experiencing from February 2023. With each session, it's help lessen the neck and shoulder tensions which have made it a little more comfortable. I look forward to my continued treatments and pray that this will resolve my migraine and vertigo issues. Dr. Luke is one a very few chiropractor who specialize in treating vertigo and migraine. He is caring and encouraging. Mahalo nui, Dr. Luke! read more

I was looking for a chiropractor and I heard about Hoola Chiropractic from a friend and wanted to check them out. They are located across Ala Moana center and the building had lots of parking on a Saturday morning. Since it was my first time there Dr. Luke greeted my friend and I and gave us a few documents to sign and look over. After completing the paperwork we were invited into the back where we talked about what was bothering us and what a typical day looked like for us. My job has me on my feet a lot and doing lots of bending and squatting since I work with children. There are also times when I'm at my desk for meetings and working on the computer. He took this into consideration and got me started on my treatment. Dr. Luke was super thorough when he was explaining to me everything that he was going to do before he did it and while he was doing the adjustment. He did something on my neck while I was laying on my side and he told me that I would feel a rush of heat to that area once he was done and I was glad he told me that was going to happen. I love how personable he is and his willingness to address questions that I had. With hoping to start a family soon I asked if chiropractic care was beneficial for pregnancy and he said it definitely can help alleviate the body through the pregnancy. I also love his availability on Saturdays because it's hard for me to make my way into town during the week. I can't wait to visit again. read more

While on my family vacation I had a family emergency that I felt needed urgent chiropractic treatment for my toddler. In a panic not knowing any chiropractors in the area I turned to Yelp for guidance, and I'm so glad I did. I stumbled across Ho'ola Chiropractic and decided to reach out. I was able to get my toddler seen immediately, and we're talking within the same hour of the phone call. My son was handled with so much care and I felt very comfortable with my son getting the adjustment. The whole process was quick and easy. I'm so very grateful that my baby is going to be okay and it's all thanks to Ho'ola Chiropractic. Thank you so so so much read more

I am not surprised that Dr. Luke has so many wonderful reviews!! Well, make way for another one!! I have suffered with my hip and leg hurting off and on, (mostly on) for years. Recently my Son-in-law recommended Dr. Luke, but I was skeptical. However, after trying so many other things, I had nothing to lose. On my very first visit, after the x-rays and just ONE adjustment, I walked out of his office with ZERO pain.....but, that Is not the best of it.! For the next 3 nights, I slept for the first time in weeks, with absolutely NO pain. To even write this review makes me want to weep. Dr.Luke is so personable, kind, and very caring. I am so grateful to God that I had taken the chance to try this venue of healing and I am So grateful to God for having Dr. Luke as my Chiropractor!!! I highly recommend his services and his professional experience and expertise. As for the cost, the life of my health is priceless! read more

I've had fibromyalgia and migraines for over 15 years now, and I was desperate to find a chiropractor in Honolulu during a flare-up of neck and shoulder pain. Dr. Luke squeezed me in as a new patient on short notice, and since then, he has given me the gift of real, lasting pain relief. He is the real deal! I've tried almost everything for my headaches and neck pain. Acupuncture, other chiropractors, physical therapy, medications, specialists, yoga, meditation, you name it. But I keep coming back to Ho'ola Chiropractic. If it works, it works! I love that visits are super fast and conveniently located at Ala Moana. Easy to stop by after work and run errands on your way home. As a dancer and frequent traveler with a chronic illness, I'm so grateful to have Dr. Luke as my local chiropractor in Honolulu. Thank you for the gift of pain-free days! read more

I was referred to Dr. Luke by chiropractor for vertigo. He has a very energetic and friendly demeanor. Upon entering his office, I had a consultation along with some X-rays. We were able to discover that my neck and back were out of alignment which is the cause of my vertigo and back pain. I've had five visits so far and the they were quick. He is also conveniently located near Ala Moana Center. read more

I hobbled into the office and walked out. I was squeezed in at the last minute and I'm so thankful the dr diagnosed and treated me quickly. He even fixed an issue my beloved chiropractor at home wasn't able to fix. Thank you for saving my vacation! read more

Came to Ho'ola Chiropractic after tweaking my lower back! Called the office & Dr Luke was able to accommodate me within the hour. Excellent care & great attention to detail. He quickly helped identify the source of pain & took X-rays of my back and side. Dr. Luke was knowledgeable, understanding, and was able to help my pain levels immensely! Mahalo Dr. Luke for excellent care and service, go to him for all your Chiro needs he will not disappoint! read more

I've been going to Dr Luke for the past five years, and I wanted to update my review (he's still AWESOME!). I initially went for help to relieve the pain in my knees. I soon realized how beneficial it is to my overall health to have regular adjustments to my neck, back, and shoulders, especially since I spend many hours sitting at the computer. My husband and son are also patients, and we are thankful for Dr Luke's skilled techniques and positive energy!!! read more

This place is a SCAM and RIP OFF. Right away when you call to book your 1st appointment he will charge you $50 over the phone to "hold the appointment". This place does not accept insurance. During the appointment he will easily charge you $300. $150 for initial exam and $50 per x-ray for 3 x-rays. THAT IS $300 BEFORE HE EVEN ADJUSTS YOU! Then it's $95 per adjustment/visit, and $125 per reevaluation/visit. AVOID THIS PLACE! Any other chiropractic place is better than this one. This place is a DISGRACE to chiropractic practice. Their only focus is sucking your money. read more

Do not listen to Dan T (1-Star review). This place is not a scam. No one works for free, especially in hawaii. Majority, if not all of the chiropractors on Oahu don't accept insurances right away. At the end of my 37 visits, he will give me a detailed breakdown of my plan with visits so I can submit to my insurance (HSMA). I confirmed with HSMA that they will reimburse me a percentage. This place helped me put my upper cervical back in place as the X-Rays confirmed it was twisted within 37 visits. I also pulled my back doing some deadlifts over the weekend. I texted and immediately got a response of how to treat it (on a non-working day). The following day, I came in for my visit and he didn't charge me extra to put my lower back in place. This place has many clients. I see them walking in during my visits, he must be doing something right. you I highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

Best Chiropractor on the Island. Woke up with pain in my back (neck). Called Dr. Luke's office to schedule an appointment, they managed to squeeze me in right away. The pain went away after one visit. And Dr. Luke wasn't trying to sell me any packages or whatever else they usually try to sell you. Very honest, positive and professional. I love going for occasional adjustments and will be coming back soon. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Luke is a true professional. I've worked with him over the past 2 years and haven't met someone who is "on top of things," friendly, and always commits his best to everything he's done. While I haven't received care from him, I know I will if I ever need. There's no way you can rack up 62 - 5 star reviews on Google and not be the best in Honolulu. You should literally read every review and you'll learn he's the one to go to in Hawaii. read more

My hip does not hurt nor dislocate anymore! Over the past year, my hip would hurt, dislocate, and I would walk with a limp when the atmospheric pressure would decrease, which for me, indicated it would rain. I had adjustments by another chiropractor for my hip and his treatments did not help. I then saw an orthopedic surgeon, and the diagnosis was I would have to live the pain, and the doctor said it was normal for people like me to feel "achy" before and when it rains. Not wanting to live with the pain which was getting worse, I decided to see Dr. Luke. After 2 and 1/2 months of treatments, and I am not finished, I went from pain to no pain, no more dislocated hip, and no limping - even when it rains! My quality of life is back!! Dr. Luke is personable and professional, and he sincerely wanted to heal my condition and he succeeded! Thank you Dr. Luke, your treatments are awesome! read more

Dr Luke helped me and my family out with stomach issues and migraines. We have been going to him for years with great results. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Luke is an amazing person and truly wants the best for you. He is very knowledgeable and thorough with the initial assessment. You always feel like you are at home, as the office is beautifully decorated and has an excellent feel as you come in the door. His positive and upbeat attitude really shines and it is very contagious. He strives in healing you and making your life more enjoyable. You will leave his office feeling better and happier I guarantee it. I highly recommend visiting Ho'ola chiropractic!!! read more

I've known Dr. Luke for a long time and finally had a chance to go in and get adjusted. As an avid weightlifter, I started to experience some pains and aches in my upper and mid back. Dr. Luke took x-rays and immediately knew what to do. I walked out feeling much better and noticed an increase of mobility and range of motion in the gym. Thanks Dr. Luke! read more

This review is way overdue. I have a been suffering from excruciating lower back and neck pains for 25+ years and have seen many chiropractors, physical therapists, and one physiatrist. The treatments were temporary and ineffective. I ran into Dr. Luke at a senior fair over two years ago; however, I misplaced his card. Over a year ago, I was informed that I needed neck surgery. I was totally frightened after reading a pamphlet about the surgery that if I chose to do the surgery, there was a possibility that I could loose my voice and/or salivary glands. I started looking for other alternatives, and ran into Dr. Luke at another senior fair. I have been seeing Dr. Luke for over a year now. He is very knowledgeable, explains his treatments thoroughly and taught me a few PT exercises to do twice daily. It is so wonderful to wake up every morning without excruciating lower back back and neck pains. read more

I've known Timmy for a very long time, I coached him in youth soccer and basketball. I'm very proud of his accomplishments. When I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia I went to see him to get it corrected. He worked on aligning my rib cage, sternum, middle back, and stomach. I received adjustments and stomach massages for about six months to release the stress on my diaphragm to treat my hiatal hernia and acid reflux. I recently had an endoscopy and learned that I don't have a hiatal hernia anymore. I thank Dr. Luke for helping me correct this problem. read more

When I first came to Dr. Luke, my back hurt so bad some days that i could barely walk. I have been to a chiropractor in the past, and was told i had scoliosis. I was not aware how bad it really was until I came to him, and he has improved the level of pain i'm in so much in less than a month already. I can't wait to see ho much better it gets in the future read more

Dr. Luke is fantastic! I met him at the Freedom Walk for Epilepsy in Kailua on the 4th of July. He clearly is dedicated to the community and shows his support. Dr. Luke had a demonstration with two scales where folks stand with one foot on each scale. To my chagrin, I had a 12 lb difference between my left and right side (for reference, I'm 100 lbs so that is 12% of my body weight!). I scheduled a new patient consult with him at a discounted rate because of the walk and after a few x-rays, Dr. Luke informed me that I had a "military neck". My neck had lost its natural curve due to trauma and was now abnormally straight. This was due to my previous falls when I was a cheerleader. I knew immediately that I was meant to meet Dr.Luke because lo and behold...he's an upper cervical specialist. In chiropractor lingo...this means he knows what he's doing when it comes to your neck. Dr. Luke set me up on a care plan (which I'll be submitting my own claim to Kaiser Permanente) and now I've been seeing him on average three times a week. Honestly, I feel great now! I'm about a fourth of the way through my care plan and I've already noticed less pain throughout my body. Dr. Luke is effective in his adjustments and he explains what he is doing. The reason why I'm writing this review is because I missed my 5:00 PM appointment today but Dr. Luke stayed until my fiancé and I showed up at 5:45 pm. He clearly goes above and beyond for his patients and I am grateful to be under his care. Mahalo Dr. Luke! read more

I cannot say enough about Dr. Luke.. He's a very kind, understanding doctor and his good energy makes my day! His adjustment techniques have helped the pain in my back, neck and hip a lot. Please do not hesitate to make an appointment to see him. Thank you, Dr. Luke! read more

I hurt my lower spine with a single cough. The spine, not the muscle. For the 1st 4 days, the pain didn't get worst or get any better. I couldn't bend at the hip. So washing my hands hurt, putting my pants on, even tying my shoelaces were difficult. Because it wasn't the muscle, wearing a back brace did nothing. I workout 5 days a week so I'm familiar with injuries and this felt different. Just to give people reading a little of my background, I can squat 425lbs and deadlift 455lbs easily. My back never bothers me unless I pull a muscle, which is maybe once every 2 years. This is why form and knowing your limits is very important to weight lifters. Then on day 5, it got worst. Through out the entire day, it hurt more and more. Then on day 6, it was worst than day 5. This is when I decided to see Dr. Tim. Even standing for 10 minutes, my lower spine would start to hurt. I woke up on day 7 (after seeing Dr. Tim) and the pain went down. I was able to bend about 1 inch at the waist. Day 8, it got even better. Able to bend 2 inches On day 9, I had another adjustment. And it got better again. I had a total of 4 adjustments and the pain is almost gone. I can tie my shoes and even go to the gym again (no squats or deadlifts yet). By the 4th adjustment, I was able to almost bend 90 degrees at the waist. I'm still not 100%, but I can say his adjustments really helped me. The best part is that he has his own X-ray. Many Chiro's that I called, didn't have a machine, so I would have to make a separate trip to get x-rayed. I do have a slight scoliosis from my muscles pulling to the left over years of weight training. It's not genetic scoliosis. It's fixable and I will continue to see Dr. Tim to work on this. This way I can keep weight training as I get older. read more

Dr. Luke of Ho'ola Chiropractic has been such a savior to me and my constant back pain I have been dealing with for the past 10 years. Doctors can offer surgery, which is extremely risky when the spine is involved. Pain meds do not heal the body, just masks the pain and becomes a problem in itself. Many people swear by Accupuncture, but I didn't think it helped me, and I also believe that "who" can make a difference. For almost 5 years I have been talking about trying a chiropractor. But because "WHO" matters I was looking for a referral. Some friends have tried Chiropractic and said it helped, but no one raved about their "WHO". And then I met Dr. Luke! He is knowledgeable, skilled and gifted in what he does. He is charismatic, down to earth and genuine. He examined the problem, explained the solution and then worked on fixing me. I didn't believe I was even fixable after living with pain for so long. Don't continue to believe that your body pain is just from "aging"! Heal the body and the aches and pains can go away! And the "WHO" does matter! This is my Rave! read more

I had a sciatic nerve problem for 5 months. Went to medical doctors that gave me a shot - didn't help. Went to physical therapists for several weeks with stretches and exercises - didn't help. Went to acupuncture and massage therapy - didn't help. Went to Ho'ola Chiropractic for about 2 weeks and I got the first relief in months. read more

I have been looking for a good chiropractor to work on my back for a while and have seen a few doctors. I had the pleasure of working with him before my first pregnancy. I will admit, Dr. Luke is the best chiropractor in Hawaii. First off, he is extremely responsive and got back to me within a day on all of my back concerns. Secondly, the staff that works with him is extremely friendly and makes you feel extremely comfortable! He also did a great job at explaining what is going on with the anatomy of my body to help understand why I was in pain. The best part about is that he cracked my back, something a lot of chiropractors have said they wouldn't do for me but for some reason, it always feels great when it manually gets fixed! I have seen a few chiropractors and I have never been this satisfied. I would definitely recommend Dr. Luke! read more

Elissa M. Within the last year my lower back pain got progressively worse. For example bending over to fix the bed sheets or getting up after sitting on the floor were extremely unpleasant for me. I had attributed it to aging and accepted the fact that it was a condition I would just have to live with. Dr. Luke has proven me wrong and for that I am so grateful. If I had not stopped by his booth at the NBC Senior Fair, I would have never known this fine, young, compassionate man would be the one to change my life. After my first visit to his office, he was very thorough in explaining what the xrays of my spine meant and assured me that there was a treatment plan which would have a positive outcome. I trusted him and my decision to use Ho'ola Chiropractic is one I'll never regret. After one week, I felt a difference in my back and felt normal for the first time in years. It was almost surreal. Many have already asked me if I knew of a great chiropractor. Dr. Timothy Luke, of course! read more

I flew to Honolulu, and I see a chiropractor at Home in California. My neck stiffened on the flight over to Hawaii, and Dr, Luke saved my trip. When I arrived, he saw me the same day; I got lucky. He corrected my problem. I saw him twice during my trip. When I return to Hawaii in the future, will definitely see Dr Luke again if needed. Thanks so much. read more

I've seen dr.Luke because it was Saturday and he was the only chiropractor available. First weird thing was that he asked for a deposit in advance over the phone. I never experienced that from doctors. Then he charged $130 for only diagnostics, which was answering regular questions about yourself and 5 min conversation then I had to pay $80 per x-ray, I had few per his recommendation. He also said that you can claim it with HMSA. I trusted that and he seamed knowledgable so I went with it. I spent $420 and HMSA refunded $120 so don't trust him of he tells you that. I was patient because I thought he must be so good. I came next time and he did his treatment 5 min ($90) and and then he sent me to sit in recovery room for 10min or so. Anyway I went to see another chiropractor after that takes effort for an hour or so, so I know this is not normal. Also when I asked him for x-ray other doctors couldn't read it. It was in weird format. I had to call multiple times to get that and the recepit for claim and discuss and I don't know what. read more

Today makes 14-18 weeks of extreme back and leg pain. 2 acupuncturists, physical therapy, water therapy, 5 sports massages, muscle relaxers, pain killers, 3 different chiropractors and a drained bank account later...I'm finally slowly being healed. This young Dr. Timothy Luke of Ho'ola Chiropractic is awesome!!! After 4 sessions with him, I can walk almost normally again. Nerve pain is still there but it's all in a process and that's what he'll attack next. No one could heal me and we think he also solved my brain issues from last year that not one of the gazillion specialists I've seen could solve. If any of you need a good chiropractor check out Dr. Luke. He's a little more pricy and sessions are quick which made me very skeptical but he's the real deal! If you're in pain, go and see him! Conveniently located next to Ala Moana center on Kapiolani Blvd. Thank you Christian and Rayna for referring me to him!! read more
