Zen Health Center — Local services in Honolulu

I recommend Dr. Zen and his team for anyone with chronic pain.

I am a retired veteran and have been living with chronic pain for many years. I've been prescribed probably every medication available for my conditions with little to no relief. I've been through physical therapy and other chiropractors, but still, no relief like I experienced after just 1 visit to Zen Health Center.

Excellent service, starting from the phone call to schedule my initial visit, all the way until I walked out of the center. I stepped into a very welcoming, calm, and relaxing environment, then was greeted by a pleasant lady with a warm smile who explained exactly where to sign and what it was for, and I didn't have to wait long to be seen. Dr. Zen walked out to introduce himself and took me back to begin the visit. He sat me down and talked me through every step. He examined me and explained every thing he was doing in a way I could understand. Dr. Zen does everything hands on to show what causes what pain or limited movement. He had me do movements and showed my limitations before the adjustment and showed me the improved changes after the adjustment. He sent me home with some stretches and exercises to do, but demonstrated them on me and had me do them properly with him first. My previous chiropractor just gave me a handout with exercises/stretches to do but didn't give me a walk through to ensure it would be properly executed on my own.

After my adjustment, I had a full body massage. I let her know it was my 1st experience getting a massage so she walked me through each step and made sure to not be too rough for my 1st visit. It was one of the most relaxing and rejuvenating experiences I've had. She isn't too chatty and is very professional.

I walked out of the center feeling like a brand new person. Thank you, Dr. Zen and his team. I am looking forward to...

I got to see Dr Zen yesterday, and I hadn’t gone since Covid. I generally go and he fixes me up! I originally came about 4 years ago and I had a lower back issue where I literally couldn’t move! I found Zen Health Center and I was about 90% better walking out! Came back a week later and was brand new. Since I haven’t had any real issues.

In early 2020 I had began experiencing an awkward pain in my shoulder/ neck and back side of my shoulder/scapula etc.. over the past year it’s gotten really bad , physical therapy helped it , stretching etc is good. I felt like i could be like this forever , or maybe it just needed time.. it had been way too long , and I had been meaning to see Dr Zen for awhile.

Why did I wait so long! I got a Gua Sha cupping massage from Kevin , I told him I like my massage DEEP. OMG that was powerful , I really had to breathe. Immediately after I felt great. Dr Zen did some adjustments for me and stretches addressing my situation Etc. We talked allot and always he will share great knowledge on how to prevent and what is causing the damages that I experienced. Cool!

I walked out felling 99% better , today I still feel that way. I also noticed that I am not able to get my right arm raised behind me very far.. my flexibility in my shoulder is increased drastically. Physical therapy helped my get that movement about inches higher, I was very happy with that, and I still continue the stretches etc. With what Dr Zen and Kevin did for me , I was able to get it another 12 inches or so higher ! Almost as high as my left arm! And only about an inch off at that. Wow 😄

Thank You Dr Zen and Kevin! And Petita is always a pleasure to set up appointments with , see you guys...

Dr. Zen knows what he is talking about! And he goes beyond JUST treating patients, and he educates you! Patient education is, in my opinion, more important than treating because it creates prevention of injury/reinjury.

I have had chronic back pain and migraines for a decade. He identified where my problems were before I told him anything. He knew, BEFORE administering the exams, where I was going to be weak. After he adjusted me, my back became inflamed as it always does; but he wants thrown off by it at all! Instead he just moved right into treatment to make it feel better and switched to a method that wouldn't aggravate it. He assisted my NECK, and I felt it in my HAND. and it was the best feeling of instant gratification.

My only "complain"t is that I personally can't reallocate funds to pay his VERY REASONABLE PRICES to see him every week. I will recommend him as a chiropractor too anyone and everyone looking an adjustment.

And David! He is not afraid to get into where your muscles REALLY need to be messaged, and knows how to manipulate your body to make sure he completely gets into your muscles fibers. Even after only 30 minutes I felt like is been in a 90 minute massage. He goes beyond the textbook knowledge. He CHOOSES HIS EYES to feel your muscles and where they need more attention. He stretches you where you need it. He digs in where you need it, but because he listens to your muscles with his hands he knows where to stop so he doesn't hurt you.

If you are skeptical, this is the place you need to try to see if you like the results. I have already booked all my appointments or as far as they...
