    Waiting area never crowded. Clients are staggered to avoid overfull wait area!
    Li Y.

    Have been seeing Dr. Kim of Manoa Chiropractic Care for the last few weeks. Have gone to seen different chiropractors and was so happy with my last one...and then he retired. Initially visited for a perceived disparity which Dr. Kim confirmed. Have continued for the excellent care, better overall health, and great massage therapists on staff. Have been seeing Leo and he is great. Trained in many facets of massage and even at the Wat Pho Temple in Thailand. Still I have been hearing great things about Nicole and Charles and others at the clinic. Hope to see them one day. Manoa Chiropractic is located on East Manoa Road, just across the Starbucks in the Manoa Marketplace on the second floor. Staircase to Clinic is just to the right of Central Pacific Bank. Prices are more than reasonable and treatments very effective. Don't hesitate for better health!

    I usually try to wait after a few visits before I write a review for a business or service to be sure I'm not giving five stars (or two) for a one-time thing, but this is one of which I'm honestly quite confident. For over two months, I have heard of Dr. Kim and his massage staff's wonders from my friend. After each visit she promised to give me the contact (which she still hasn't!), and now I am kicking myself that I did not look the clinic up on Yelp on my own! I've been to a local sports chiropractor once, I think he was quite known and popular back then (IDK about now too). He was a jerk and quite unprofessional and was really pushy to get me and my then-partner to buy pricey packages. He badgered us about our finances and made snarky comments as we stupidly stayed and allowed this abuse because I didn't yet know how to say "no". That one terrible experience has made me leery of seeking services that require long-term/follow-up care, particularly if it's chiropractic-related. From my friend's stories and the other Yelp reviews, it seems like Dr. Kim is not like that at all. I submitted a request for appointment via the clinic website on a Saturday night, and received a call from Stacy on Monday. My main concern at this point was how much was it gonna cost me. Stacy looked up what type of benefits I had under my husband's insurance plan, and gave me two possible co-pay rates (one with deductible and one without). The one with deductible sounded doable so I went ahead and made an appointment; she said she will call the insurance company to confirm first thing the next morning. As luck would have it, there was a cancellation/ opening for the next day afternoon! But also that very night, I realized I forgot I had class at the same time so I left a voice message to reschedule. Someone texted me the next morning (so convenient!!) and got me into another opening/ cancellation. The receptionist was polite and friendly when I checked in. The business of me filling out the intake form and her making a copy of my information was swift and efficient. The consultation with Dr. Kim was also very swift and efficient. He gives very specific directions but is also quite gentle (I guess so as not to sound like he's bossing you around haha). When I casually declared that I have mild scoliosis, he very gently asked me whose diagnosis? I thought about it and said it was a self-diagnosis haha. Since young I've always had a slightly curved spine (first noted at a health check up, and subsequently re-confirmed with my own eyes after every X-Ray I've ever taken) and bad posture. I believe working from home in the last twelve months made my posture a lot worse because I don't have a proper working desk and chair (I sit on the couch, on my bed, on the floor, etc.) I found myself struggling to get up and almost always will have lower back pains, which I attributed to aging. Anyway, so he did a series of adjustments, during one of which I heard my vertebrae crack. Not gonna lie, some of those adjustments were quite painful (and also a little outside my comfort zone) that I had to catch my breath a few times. Then he told me to lie face down on the mat/chair and the next thing I know he was using a tool that I can only describe as a hand massager/jackhammer which was followed by another tool that sounds like a staple gun. Then, he used what I presume to be the ultrasound tool that other reviewers mention because he warned me about the cold, which was the gel. So he didn't elaborate what he did, and I didn't need to know, not like I would remember anyway. But he did ask me," How long has your back been like that?" Like what? "In such a bad shape." Uh, I don't know. A year? (Possibly longer!!!) Then he taped me up and it's all over, maybe under 30 minutes? As I was making my way to the reception to pay, he called out breezily, "OK come back whenever." Wow, OK, sure. Then, as if on second thought, he added "Maybe between two weeks and a month." OK I can do that, because I found out I don't have to fork out a deductible, yeah! Sorry for the longwinded story, but basically it seems like Dr. Kim doesn't want people to keep coming back to him unless they need to and it's so refreshing! The clinic itself is so hidden and unassuming, almost as if like he doesn't really want people to know they're there. I've been nudging my husband who also has chronic pain issues to see Dr. Kim. Super happy to have come to him and am really looking forward to the massage with my next appointment! #43

    Got referred by several people at work and read through other yelp reviews. Not only this practice is convenient to where I live, they have LMT in house, also accept ASH. Dr. Kim is the type of doctor who makes sure your back issues are addressed. Charles has years of experience in his field, he insures your sore and aching muscles loosened up right after your back adjustment. It's so relaxing leaving my appointment in a quiet neighborhood rather than your ordinary doctors office in town.

    I have been coming to Manoa Chiropractor for over a year and I love this place. Stacy always greets me by name and a smile (mask on) when I arrive. Then off to get an adjustment by Dr.Kim who always asks how I'm doing and what's bothering me so he can fix me up. After the adjustment I get the best massage I have ever had. I have seen Melissa, Leo and Charles. All 3 are absolutely amazing and very different so it's nice to switch up. I highly recommend checking with your insurance to see if they cover your treatments.

    Found out about this place because of my brother in law. He mentioned to me that he had gone here before and recommended it to a few people. The waiting area is nice and relaxing - low light and great smells. It's a treat for all of your senses. The adjustment was fantastic. The chiro was interested and not too quick to give a diagnosis without hearing all of the ailments. The adjustment came with an hour massage and it was heavenly! Located conveniently in the Manoa Marketplace, this shop can be found on the second floor above Peppa's. Take the stairs on the side of the building along East Manoa Road. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. Super relaxing. I swear I fell asleep 3 times during the massage. Would definitely come back!

    My wrist was out of place and DR Jin adjusted it, used a massage gun and ultrasound therapy to loosen my forearm muscle, then taped me up.
    Angie K.

    I had bad wrist pain and Dr. Jin found that my wrist was out of place and adjusted it. Then he used a massage gun and ultrasound therapy to loosen my forearm muscle. He taped me up and it feels better already! Going back for a follow up in a week. You can also get a 30 min massage from one of the massage therapist after, all covered by insurance.

When I arrived, no one was in the office where the business is located. I called the number listed on their business page several times before finally getting an answer. The person showed up 20 minutes late. She had us wait in a building with no A/C. She was rushing around the office and tried to start the session immediately. She was going to be the one giving the massage to both of us? And where were the decorations??? We walked out of that building right away. Extremely disappointed--this ruined my plans for my boyfriend's 30th birthday.

I decided to opt for the 70 minutes service and arrived promptly at the appointment time. It was located in a building on the 29th floor with a bunch of other spa businesses with similar rates of $60 for 60 minutes massages. The interior was not modern looking at all (there was popcorn ceiling all around) and the scent of the place wasn't the most aromatic or pleasant. The masseuse gave me a hybrid Thai and Swedish massage. Parts of it were painful and uncomfortable when the masseuse stepped on my back and literally put all of her weight on me. I told the masseuse that some of the massage movements were painful and she adjusted accordingly to different techniques. After the massage session was completed, my +1 and I were proceeding to the lobby and was offered two complimentary cups of cold water. As we were paying for the massage services, the staff (also my masseuse) provided the $120 price and said directly that this amount doesn't include tip. First off, that was an unnecessary comment and unprofessional. Then as we were giving the cash to tip the two masseuses (she was one of them), the masseuse said give me $20 for the other masseuse and $20 for me. Not only was it completely awkward and uncomfortable, but the audacity! We didn't tip the amount as she demanded since it was insincere and completely uncalled for. Sadly, I don't plan to return at all. Just a fair warning to others considering this place for a massage.
