Called to schedule me and my husband as new patients. The child who answered could not help or understand my HMSA insurance, so I gave up and said forget it as she kept repeating herself. Very sad. I know businesses need to save money but you are losing money by having young children who do not care be your first line of an impression. I mean "child" as sarcastic. read more

Just finished up my 2nd appointment and my fiance' and I feel great. Dr Morelli doesn't cut corners and he is very knowledgeable, basically knows what he's doing and not to mention his sense of humor Thank you to Dr Morelli and staff! Found our new Chiropractic home. read more

I found Dr. Morelli through my insurance's website on a list of providers that they accept. I decided to give this chiropractor a try and actually had a good experience. This office is located in a small parking lot across the street from Pacific Super Market in Waipahu. I actually missed the turn the first time and had to whip back around through the neighborhood. It's easy to miss if you've never been there before so pay attention to your GPS's directions. The parking lot is super tight and it's a hit or miss with getting a stall. The first time I went, I got a spot right infront of the office. The 2nd time I had to park a little further down and it gets packed so use a small car if you can. Walking into the office, I was greeted by the lady at the front desk. I came 20 minutes early because medical services usually have a lot of paperwork for you to fill out before hand if you're a new patient and that's exactly what I had to do. When I finished, I turned in my paperwork and she took a scan of my insurance card. **Call ahead to see if they accept your insurance.** Also, if you need to use their restroom, they have one available in the back. Just ask the front desk. In less than 5 mins. I was taken to the back and waited in a small medical room with a bench and chiropractic posters on the walls. Dr. Morelli walks in with my documents and begins to ask me more questions as he wrote down my answers on his papers. He was really welcoming and very knowledgeable in his practice. He gave me some tips and tricks to help fix or adjust my current habits affecting my posture. I didn't even know that one of my shoulders sat higher than the other until he said so after visually inspecting me in a standing position. My reason for coming in was because I was having back and shoulder pain from sitting down all day at my desk job and was looking for relief. He asked about chiropractic services I've had in the past and everything I've experienced at another office that I enjoyed, he had readily available for me. I was excited about the roller table that stretches/rolls out your spine and the STIMs machine. After those services, he proceeded with my adjustment, cracking my neck, spine, wrists, and hips. I felt great and so relaxed afterwards. I loved my experience and the fact that his office was closer to home made it easier for me to travel to. If you're looking for a good chiropractor, I recommend coming to see Dr. Morelli! Thank you for the experience and I'll be back for future appointment! read more

See all

I've been seeing Dr Morelli off and on for the past 5yrs. He has gotten me through some awful aches and pains over the yrs and he never judges me for slacking and not getting adjustments for many months. he just goes right in with the fix and let me tell you after 1 adjustment I leave feeling better and with several more visits I'm forgetting all about how bad the pain was. Recently I've been doing the cold laser treatment, amazing pains gone. I would recommend Dr Morrelli to anyone who like me, just could not go another day with the aches and pains of sciatica and knee joints. read more

Dr. Morelli and Annie run the best Chiropractic Clinic I have ever been to. My family and myself have been coming here for years due to a car accident I was involved in that has given me chronic back and neck pain, and just over all regular adjustments and over all maintenance. They both are very professional and Annie always manages to get me an appointment at last minute. Dr. Morelli is very nice and friendly and he cares a lot about my care and my whole family's care as well. I recommend them 1,000 % and I refer all my friends as much as I can because my experience here has been nothing but the best. Dr. Morelli has the healing touch! Thank you Dr. Morelli and Annie for your continued best service! read more

The team and Dr. here is always professional and ready to give me Cracks when ever I get Outta-line.

Dr. Morelli is fun to talk to and very knowledgeable about what he does. You really feel like you've known him your whole life when you first meet him. This is what I like in a chiropractor! They need to be funny with fun jokes but also have lots of experience. I learned a lot from him from seating posture; to what positions I should be sleeping in at night; to the types of pillows I should be using; to tech neck (for people who do a lot of computer work like me). I did a lot of things wrong and it's no wonder my neck, shoulders, back, hips, and wrists were out of alignment. Super thankful for him and his education, as now my neck, upper back, hands and thumb no longer hurt after my first adjustment with him. I heard a super loud crack when he adjusted my upper back and my wrists, and let me tell you! What a relief!! read more

It was your average chiropractor practice, the crack your neck, back, hips the usual. If it was the first time seeing a chiropractor then I've thought he was the best. I'm actually looking for something different and a little more recent and not traditional. Overall Dr. Morelli is a super friendly person with a good practice. Unfortunately it was not what I was looking for. read more

1 of 3 types of professions you don't tick off Let's catch up on history. I have been seeing Dr. Morelli for a few years but this is my first time at this location. It is a little harder to get a parking spot and signage isn't as big as when they were near Seafood City. But somehow this place is always busy and walk ins are allowed if space is open and it's rarely open. So my suggestion ..... get an appointment. Now every time I'm here, the session is about 30-40 mins long cut into three segments. The first is laying on you back while these roller pins come up from the center of the sofa and gently roll across your spine. Then transfer to flat bed where you lay in your stomach and electrical pads are places on your back for some shock treatment. I call this my "Light up my life" portion. And when that's done, stage three is Dr. Morelli manually twisting your body around of about 5 mins to crack the back. You know when you hear the "CRACK", he found the right spot. I have nothing but great relief and great conversations with the people here. If you have any back issues, this a great place to come too. Overall five stars. Parking might be an issues and the waiting room is small but the service provided is five stars. And remember peeps. Don't upset people that cook your food, handle your money, or take care of your health. At least that's what I remember in the Navy. Now excuse me, I watching AGT. How does she contour her body like that? She must see Dr. Morelli. M read more

Dr. Morelli and his staff is awesome. They are very kind, polite, and just overall great. Been dealing with my back pain and it's finally coming to the end of the road after all these years dealing with it. The atmosphere and cleanliness in the clinic is spot on and music is calming. Ample amount of parking in the parking lot so no worries. I highly recommend Waipahu Chiropractic Clinic to everyone all ages, including Our Veterans!! I am a veteran myself so I know how you feel when it comes to picking a doc to fix you up.... Dr. Morelli and staff is trustworthy. read more

I started coming here a few years now. coming from construction we do a lot of heavy lifting and twist and sometimes forget to use proper techniques. It may take a few sessions but worth it. You can feel yourself with better body posture. Definitely recommend wether your in construction or sitting behind a desk. read more

Dr Morelli is really knowledgeable and he's an easy person to talk to. It was my first time going to a chiro so I was nervous but he really made it a great experience. He took the time to really get to know my history and provided additional ways to manage my symptoms. Great atmosphere! read more

My wife and I discovered Dr. Morelli 8-years ago and we continue going back due to the outstanding care and results we receive. Some of the key reasons we make Waipahu Chiropractic Clinic our top choice on Oahu includes: higher level of knowledge and experience than others on island; very personable and good listener of patient needs; regular appointment reminders via text messaging; and friendly, non-rushed, caring service. We continue recommending Waipahu Chiropractic Clinic to all of our friends, neighbors and co-workers. read more

Dr. Morelli is such a good doctor. I've been going to him for about two years now. At first, I was hesitant about going to a chiropractor because my dad has had a bad experience with one in the past. However, my insurance covers chiropractic care and I figured I should just try to go to the chiropractor to see if it would reduce the tension in my neck, shoulders, and back. My doctor recommended Dr. Morelli and I'm so glad I ended up with a great doctor! Before I went to Dr. Morelli, my neck would always crack and make noises. Since I've been going to him, the neck sounds have stopped and I am more aware of my posture. Dr. Morelli has a happy, friendly demeanor and gives good advice to reduce stress on your spine. read more

I think this chiropractor wasn't good for me but that doesn't mean this chiropractor isn't for you. Some advice made me have bad neck pain. So I'll pass but thank you for the service. read more

Just found Dr. Morelli's new office, located at 94-307 Farrington Hwy! Wanted to share a picture of it so any of you looking for it could see what it looks like! It's a beautiful new office inside and just a few blocks away from the old location! read more

Waipahu Chiropractic Clinic - 94-307 Farrington Hwy #B05 Waipahu, HI 96797 - Chiropractors Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Doctor of Chiropractic "Dr. Joseph G. Morelli, Jr." is tops in the field. He has over 30 years experience and belongs to many organizations. He has a real professionally managed website and its right on the mark. My wife encouraged (told) me to go and get some help for my back and not take Vicodin and Naproxin for it daily. So, with encouragement, I went. I've been to 3 Chiropractors in my lifetime and I've never been impressed. They all say "You have 'Subluxations'" and I believe everyone has this situation. It's that common. Dr. Morelli didn't use an X-ray machine to examine me, after all, he is an experienced expert in his field. He even goes to WDC to teach other Chiropractors what to do! He had me do a handful of moves and could see my neck couldn't bend back but a few degrees. I thought that was normal until he showed me the problem. I stated, after a completely DETAILED board of questions and observations, I mentioned my shoulder and lower back were in pain most all the time, though nothing I've not been able to alleviate with medications. That's like swearing in church... they don't believe in medicine. supplements and homeopathic methods yes. Medications for pain, no. He placed me on a "rolling pin" type machine that rolled out my back to loosen it and make it more flexible. Then electric pads were placed on my back and charged to a tingling sensation to the degree I could handle it with relative comfort. Lastly, he returned to the room and performed "adjustments" on me. Some hurt a little but that's because I'm so out of proper form. He said I'm going to take a while to work on. He stated there's no "cure" for my condition though he can get me to the best I can be and no more medications. Great!! With my Medicare Insurance and other one, my co-pay was just $5. Can't beat that!!! I have to return Wednesday and Friday this week to begin loosening up my back and adjusting it properly. At $5 a visit... why not, right? If you're in the market for a true professional, affordable, and need Chiropractic care... this place and Doctor I couldn't more strongly recommend. Please check the "Useful" button at the end of this review if I helped you decide. Cheers!! read more

Dr. Morelli is like a life saver. Ever since getting to this island, I have had nothing but trouble finding a health care provider to help address my lower back pain issues that come as a result of a rare autoimmune disease that I have, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type III or more commonly known as hypermobility syndrome. It's a connective tissue disorder that leaves me with boatloads of problems with my joints, namely my SI joint. Confused yet? If you have a weird look on your face, join the rest of my nine doctors that I've seen here in the last year. EXCEPT for Dr. Morelli. During my consultation, Dr. Morelli nodded affirmation that he knew what my disorder is. He recommended a treatment plan for my condition, and explained to me how we are going to know whether or not this is working for me. I felt very comfortable with him - a big Italian man from my original whereabouts-ish (East coast). He reminded me of my dad, and we bonded over our familiarity with the Maryland area. And so, my first appointment began. I was placed on what I call a rolling pin table - a table that pushes a big roller into my back, the full length of my back, for 15 minutes. Next, I was placed face down on an adjustment table and had electrodes placed along both sides of my spine, from my pelvis to my shoulders. Pure bliss. I have a TENS unit at home, but the machine they use at the chiropractor is different. It doesn't just zap the pain, it fully causes the muscles to contract and relax. Finally, the adjustment - I was quite scared my first time, but have since become so comfortable and familiar with the routine. Dr. Morelli will come in, ask how you're doing, check on your problem area, and then adjust accordingly. I find him to be very gentle and careful. If I'm being too tense, he can tell before even pushing on me and will coach me to relax first so as to not hurt me. I have a good number of visits under my belt at this point to be able to give a very solid 5 star review. I would give more if I could. The office staff is friendly, the office is always clean and relaxing, and they are wonderful at accommodating schedules, whether it's cancelling, rescheduling, or even scheduling a last minute "PLEASE HELP ME DR. MORELLI" appointment. I ALWAYS look forward to my chiropractor days with much enthusiasm. There's always plenty of parking available. Plenty of food spots nearby for before or afterwards, being at Waipahu Town Shopping Center is super convenient. The military discount is awesome, very helpful as my insurance doesn't cover chiropractor care. Seeing as I have to often visit once a week, it adds up. The military discount helps save some serious dough. P.S. Beware of the electrode machine, if you're anything like me, you might get so relaxed that you pass out and drool on the table. Oops. read more

It happened on a Monday! I swung that golf club like I was winning the Hawaii Open. However, what my mind was thinking...my body was doing something completely different. I hit the ground, dug in my 3 wood for a terrible golf shot that hurt my wrist, my neck and my back...and my dream of winning the Hawaii Open was dashed! That was the start of my 7 day Hawaiian Golf Adventure. By the next morning I couldn't turn my head to the left without turning my entire body and to sit up and breathe was difficult. The only position that felt okay was holding my hands and arms above my head. But I didn't want to give the impression I was waiting on the 5-0 for some crazy indiscretion. Did, I say this was a golf vacation? Not to be daunted by my bodies inability to move...I teed off that morning knowing this round was doomed! In the middle of the first fairway I knew I needed help. I went to my trusted Yelp app and knew someone would be able to recommend a great Chiropractor. Thank you fellow Yelpers...you came through once again. Choosing a Chiropractor is not something to be taken lightly!!!! The wrong one can make a tolerable situation impossible with lasting effects. I have been going to my Chiropractor for over 20 years and I drive at least 30 minutes to see her. Reading through the Yelpers' comments and reviews helped me settle on Dr. Morelli at the Waipahu Chiropractic Clinic. Needless to say Dr. Morelli saved my Golf Vacation and left my dream of winning the Hawaii Open that week, intact! First and foremost, the customer service was stellar and the Doctor's assistant was able to get me in the very next morning. At the end of the exam and adjustment, they even tried to see if my insurance would work for part of the payment. It didn't but it was nice that they checked. I found the price to be very reasonable for the care I received! DO NOT TRUST your iPhone maps or Google maps for directions! They both put me on a dead end road, in the middle of nowhere. Plus, there is a lot of road construction in the area. The clinic is in the shopping center with Longs Drugs and the Taco Bell. So once you figure out where the clinic is located you will be fine. Dr. Morelli is very thorough and treats you like you will be a patient for a very long time; which is great for his patients on the island and even better if you know this is a onetime visit. Be warned...if you are like me and have seen another Chiropractor for a long time. You may have forgotten that is takes a while for a new doctor to get to know you. Dr. Morelli took a full health history, blood pressure, weight and examined my spine before starting. We chatted about my golf game, work habits and computer area. He had me do a little light traction and zapped my nerves in my shoulders (all felt great). And then the adjustment...followed by bliss! I can't say enough about Dr. Morelli and his staff. He saved my Golf Vacation and my sanity. If you are looking for a long term Chiropractor or you need help saving your vacation; Dr. Morelli will not disappoint! read more

I have gone to several chiropractic clinics. This is by far the best. Dr. morelli and staff are fantastic! They accept my mediocre insurance and the co pay is reasonable. They have saved me from several neck, back, and hip surgeries that have more than 2 years recovery time. I feel fabulous after each visit. read more

Injured my back yesterday and I had no idea what to do, it was hard to breathe and even walk. Thankfully my boyfriend has been going to see Emilio here twice a month for massages regarding his lower back and neck, nothing serious, so he referred me to do the same. Today was my first time ever experiencing a massage where I left both EDUCATED and relieved. He told me what I can do at home to help my recovery AND what vitamins I should be taking to help other issues he noticed during my consultation. I highly recommend Emilio to anyone who has any issues regarding their body, or even if you just want a nice massage read more

Got a prenatal massage from Emilio yesterday. I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant and every single part of my body is uncomfortable. I walked out of there feeling brand new and rejuvenated. Emilio made sure I was comfortable (as he understands how uncomfortable the 3rd trimester can be on women. I strongly recommend him for prenatal massages!! read more

Having back spasms/pain/tightness? No need to worry this place will make it go away. Luckily I found this place through Yelp. Also luckily my insurance covered. Lol. I was feeling some kind of tightness in my lower back so with me already having back surgery years ago I was afraid this was a start of another back surgery. So I decided to give this place a try. With the first visit it took bout 1 1/2 hours. The first part of the visit was that dr morelli had to get to know you more so that he actually knows what he wants to do to you. He was very thorough of what was the plan and what's gonna happen. Second was he put me on this roller machine for 15 minutes. Boy did this machine feel good. I almost fell asleep. Third step he put some tingling things to ease my muscles for another 15 minutes. Even this almost made me fall asleep. I was so relaxed that my I could feel my tightness going away. Then finally when that was done. That's when dr morelli did some adjustments on my back. When I left my tightness all went away. Thank you dr morelli for making my tightness go away. I feel way better and will continue to come back so it doesn't come back! If you ever feel like your back is about to go or even feel any pain. Visit dr morelli you won't be disappointed! read more

James Morelli and his staff is really friendly. I had sciatica and after the first visit I was able to walk again. He is the only Chiropractor that has helped me. I went to other Chiropractors but no one has healed me until I went to James. read more

I first met Dr. Morelli about 5 years ago. While flying to Oahu from the Big Island, where I lived, I reached up to put a bag in the overhead bin and immediately felt pain in my neck. At first I thought it was a pulled muscle, but by the next morning I literally could not turn my neck. After unsuccessfully convincing my chiropractor to fly to Oahu to adjust me, I followed his recommendation to see Dr. Morelli. He graciously fit me into his schedule, gave me an affordable rate, and realigned my neck. Just like that, I had my life back. It was only natural that Dr. Morelli would become my chiropractor when I recently relocated to Oahu. During a recent battle with sciatica, he has once again helped me get my sleep back. His office staff are friendly. The office is neat, clean and professional. And, each appointment has been on time. If you're looking for a chiropractor, I strongly recommend. Dr. Morelli! read more

The day I arrived in Oahu I started to feel horrible,my neck and lower back so painful it was taking my breath away. I wondered by the third day if I had somehow developed meningitis... Or the plague! I was trying to decide between emergency or a chiropractor. I don't have insurance and really, I want to spend my vacation money on vacation! So I opted first for Dr. Morelli after reading all of the reviews. I just showed up at 9am hoping somehow he would see me once he saw me begging at the door. Lol. He did! After a lot of paperwork about all of my painful parts, they called me in. I always have quite low blood pressure but this time it was very high, apparently further convincing him of my pain and need of an emergency appointment. He is amazing, i lay on that roller thing, then some electric ultra sound, when he worked on me, it was very obvious he knew what he was doing. I finally had a wonderful day at the beach with only slight pain, I went back the next day for one more treatment. Now I feel about 99% well. I'm so thankful. Cost? About $150 all total. Way better than a hospital bill. Thanks Dr. Morelli, I'm so glad I found you! read more

Dr. Morelli is great and very informative! My neck and back had so much tension I was beginning to have headaches and migraines (-__-) It's wonderful to say that I have not had any tension headaches and I definitely recommend this place...plus it's affordable. read more

Doctor was very thorough with the exam on my first visit. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went in. There were two ladies there. One of them was very nice on the other hand, the other girl wasn't so inviting and friendly. I'm giving a 5 star because doctor did a fantastic job! I feel renew. I know this is a work in progress but I'm confident that I will be in much better shape read more

Dr. Morelli does out of date techniques. My first visit I waited 5 mins till he came in. Talked about my history, problems, and other concerns that I had another 15 mins. Then had one of his assistants hook me up to a table to stretch out my back for about 20 mins. After about 5 mins he walks in. Tells me get on my side and drops he's huge flabby body on me. Nothing happens. Turn me over and drops his weight on me again. Nothing happens so I say. Hey Doc nothing happened. He says oh no, something happened. You're not going to notice anything until maybe the third visit. So he tells me he needs to see me 3x a week. Two days later on my next appointment I'm thinking maybe he will do something different. WRONG!! Same thing jus now he says you should come in twice a week. He's taking advantage of a lot of old people who goes to visit him. I have 8 more visits through my insurance I've totally waisted 2 on this dude. Terrible!! read more

Dr. Morelli seems like a nice man, but he completely didn't know what he was doing. I left worse off than when I came. Sorry, you want an honest review read more

I got into am accident that really messed up my back and neck so had to see a chiropractor. I chose this one since it was close. When I walked in I could barely walk half a block without pain radiating through my body, but aftrr the first adjustment I felt better. He had an awesome bedside manner and said it would take me about a year to heal. He stopped seeing me after about four to six months because he claomed my insurance would only allow so many visits, when I knew I was no where near my limits, which on IL, where the accident took place was a dollar amount not number of visits. I evwn called the insurance company, only to find out he hadn't sent them a single bill the whole time I'd been going to him! I told them where it was and they said to keep going, that a year of service was fine and I ws covered for up to three! Doc would not listen and droped me-refused to continue treating me! So yeah he's great as far as relieving pain but is lazy about billing insurance and doesn't follow through if your using accident insurance. read more

Great service! It was really easy to make an appointment as well as a follow up appointment. I say this because some chiropractors are booked out for months, and when you are in pain that isn't ideal. My husband and I were able to get appointments together within days of calling. They also work with the Hawaii Carpenter Union workers, as we do not have a medical benefit, just approved chiropractors that participate with the trust fund benefit. If your spouse is in the union you need them to sign a paper authorizing the use of the benefit. Once you get that done everything is a breeze. The office makes everything easy on their patients. I would recommend this office to anyone who needs an alignment with a trusted and well known chiropractor. read more
