Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic services use manual adjustments and activator techniques to correct spinal misalignments, alleviate pain, and improve nervous system function. We treat conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches through personalized treatment plans that may include therapeutic exercises and posture correction. With experience working with professional athletes, our chiropractors develop customized approaches for patients of all activity levels.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility and function through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and advanced treatment techniques. Specializing in sports injury rehabilitation and post-surgical recovery, our therapists create individualized programs to address muscle imbalances, improve joint function, and prevent future injuries. We incorporate evidence-based practices for treating chronic pain and neurological conditions.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use traditional Chinese medicine techniques to address pain management and wellness concerns. Certified practitioners perform acupuncture, cupping, and gua sha therapies to alleviate conditions like chronic pain, stress, and women's health issues. Treatments stimulate the body's natural healing processes through strategic needle placement and complementary holistic techniques.
Massage Therapy
We offer multiple massage therapy modalities including deep tissue, sports massage, and lomi lomi to address muscle tension and improve circulation. Our licensed therapists target specific areas of concern while promoting overall relaxation and wellness. Sessions can be combined with chiropractic care for enhanced treatment outcomes and pain relief.
Spinal Decompression
This specialized treatment gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves, helping conditions like herniated discs and sciatica. Using advanced decompression techniques, we create negative pressure between vertebrae to promote disc healing and reduce nerve compression. The treatment is particularly effective for chronic back pain and degenerative disc disease.

I absolutely love it here! Dr. Ryan is the best! I have been dealing with severe neck and back pain for over a year. I was being treated regularly back on the mainland for 8 months with no relief and improvement but once I came to Kailua Wellness Center I finally started to get relief and now I am without pain majority of the time! I highly recommend Dr. Ryan for your chiropractic needs!

Super nice staff, really comfortable and safe environment. I am a person a little scared of male people and doctors and the chiropractor left the door open for the whole adjustment without me asking. It made me feel just a little more comfortable and safe. Also the adjustment was awesome!

I have been coming for adjustments and massages for a very long time. The doctors, massage therapists and front desk staff are all professional and always super welcoming. The service is great too. Took care of my back problems after car accident. All doctors are great. See all 3 before you settle on your favorite one as you may be surprised that all of them do a great job adjusting. Highly recommend this center.
