Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Manual spinal adjustments realign vertebrae to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance nervous system function. Our chiropractors use diversified, gonstead, and activator techniques to treat conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Treatment plans combine adjustments with therapeutic exercises to address root causes rather than symptoms.
Physical Therapy
Customized rehabilitation programs restore movement and function following injury or surgery. Therapists employ manual techniques, therapeutic exercises, and modern modalities to treat sports injuries, post-surgical conditions, and chronic pain. Sessions focus on rebuilding strength, improving flexibility, and preventing future injuries through proper body mechanics.
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This therapy effectively relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and balances energy flow for conditions ranging from chronic pain to stress-related disorders. Sessions may include cupping, gua sha, and herbal supplements as complementary treatments.
Sports Massage
Specialized massage techniques enhance athletic performance and accelerate injury recovery. Deep tissue work, myofascial release, and stretching protocols address sports-related strains, improve circulation, and prevent reinjury. Therapists customize treatments for specific sports demands and individual training schedules.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This treatment effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease by creating negative pressure that promotes disc hydration and healing in the cervical and lumbar regions.

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.

This is a great place, with many wonderful services. I have been for acupuncture, massage and chiropractic. I see Tylor Ryan as a chiropractor. I have seen many chiropractors over the years and he is definitely one of the best. Diane is wonderful as an acupuncturist, very gentle, kind and knowledgeable. I have seen many massage therapists over the years and have enjoyed most of them. The staff are friendly and helpful. You can't go wrong.

Dr. Sauer is excellent. Every treatment makes me feel better. He is always concerned and sure to check if I am doing other things to assist myself. I appreciate his concern, professionalism, and his superior technique. I give him a solid 5 star rating. The receptionists/schedulers always willing to assist in getting a acceptable appointment.
