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

    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.

    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.

    First timer? Nervous about visiting a chiropractor? Ever wonder if this works?…read more Years ago, I attended an event with the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce where a chiropractor spoke and shared stories about how life changes with chiropractic care before and after addressing misaligned bone structures. It was fascinating to learn about this practice, observe the outcomes patients experienced, and challenge the preconceived notions I had grown up with. However, I was still hesitant to try it myself, until last year, when I visited another office and discovered that my mobility wasn't great. While my initial experience began positively, it turned sour, and I ultimately stopped going. This year, I had the chance to meet Katie Gillum and Dr. Austin Blanchon at the Employment Law event hosted by the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce. This reignited my interest in chiropractic care. During the event, Dr. Austin was pre-screening participants, though I didn't participate at that point. Instead, I spoke with him later, where he shared insightful advice. Katie was a great listener, providing resources and addressing my hesitations in an encouraging in a non-pushy manner. By the end of the event, we spoke again, and I finally decided, "Okay, I'll schedule an appointment." Katie mentioned that Turning Point had multiple office locations, convenient for both my work-from-home days and my office-based workdays. Open seven days a week, the practice allowed me to choose appointment times that best suited my busy schedule. Additionally, I could select any chiropractor I preferred. Since Dr. Austin had been so professional and insightful, I chose his office in Kaimuki, a location convenient for my in-office days. During my first visit, he was calming and helpful, and x-rays were taken to develop a personalized care plan based on my specific needs. The process was seamless, with the helpful staff verifying and double-checking my insurance coverage early in the process. Now that my initial treatment plan has been completed, I appreciate having the flexibility to use my remaining visits as needed for ongoing treatments or adjustments. I already feel welcome to return whenever necessary. I referred my daughter, though she remains a bit nervous for now. I've also recommended Turning Point to others, hoping they take advantage of the ease of booking appointments and the gentle, professional approach that everyone in this practice provides. Aloha and Mahalo to the team here!

My first appointment with Honolulu Pain Relief was made because of some pain in my neck that started bothering me right after I got sandwiched between 2 other vehicles while waiting at a stoplight. I never saw the rear driver coming and I was already at a standstill when I go hit so I most likely suffered from some bad whiplash after the event. My vehicle was totaled but I luckily got out of the accident alive with just some neck pain that was causing me really bad headaches. This happened back in 2017. They were able to get me in the next day and the driver that hit me had insurance which covered all the expenses. That initial appointment went really well. Dr. Smith greeted me and went over all the procedures that he wanted to do. I was given an assessment, my XRAY was taken, I got a chiropractor adjustment, STIMs therapy session, was given a home-use STIMs machine and got a massage all within that first week. Right after my first chiropractor session, the headaches went away and I felt like new but I still had some back pain so he had me schedule a chiropractor session every 2 weeks for a couple months. I loved all my appointments with him and his team. Even after the other driver's insurance no longer covered my appointments, I used my insurance with HMSA to keep coming back regularly since I got about 6 free chiropractic sessions per year. Although his location is in town and I live further away, I still made the effort to come visit while my insurance covered. His services and the way he treats his clients is sooo worth it! I love my chiro adjustments with Dr. Smith and always ask for him although there are other Chiro doctors in his office. He cracks my back like no other chiro has done. He perfected his technique and I always look forward to feeling my spine crack from one end to the other. I get so much relief right after especially because I also lift really heavy at the gym. Overtime, Dr. Smith improved his office space with more upgraded equipment and more beneficial therapy services. Besides everything I listed earlier, he equipped his office with multiple massage chairs, a wave therapy table that stretches out your back really well, more rooms and tables for privacy while receiving STIMs therapy, a stretch therapist to work with you before or after your chiro session and improved STIMS Laser equipment. My last appointment with him was back in November 2025 and I still received the same caring and thoughtful services he's always provided. I always recommend Honolulu Pain Relief when ever anyone asks me for suggestions for a chiropractor. He's my #1 pain relief doctor. I've gone to him for soo many years, he's practically like family. Even after not seeing him for months at a time, it's always the same reaction when we run into each other and I'm thankful to have him and his team in my life. Thank you Honolulu Pain Relief! I hope your office continues to thrive for many years to come and I'll see you again soon!
