Dr. Lim is a miracle worker! He knows exactly how to sort me out every time. I first saw him about 4 years ago with a horrific chronic lower back issue. He sorted me out in no time. Since then, I go monthly for maintenance, but every so often life disrupts that routine and he has to put me back together. Which he does with the absolute best of bedside manner and a sense of humor. I've been to a few chiropractors before him, but remained loyal to him all these years since due to the consistent, instantaneous help he's given me. He's amazing! read more

I still go here and Dr Lim does an amazing job as well! If you are looking for a chiropractor, this is the one! Highly recommended! *He takes Kaiser. read more

Action Chiropractic - Chiropractors Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Chiropractors Rock!! Especially when their method of practice is the gonstead technique, as in Dr. Lim. Back in 2011, I fell ill for several days, and nothing my medical doctor prescribed for me helped, in fact, I felt worse! Fortunately, my sister-in-law, a chiropractor, heard how I was feeling and suggested I come and see her for an adjustment. One adjustment and I was healed...completely!!! I've not gone back to my medical doctor since, except for those necessary yearly checkups. Fast forward to today, 10yrs later and a handful of chiropractors, I feel I've found "The One!" Dr. Lim is awesome!! His personable, knowledgeable and confident in his work. His very professional and I feel very comfortable with him as well as his fun and engaging office staff. The 2 ladies at the reception are very welcoming once you walk into the office. I always walk out of Dr. Lim's office feeling 110% better than I walked in. Now my whole family is under Dr. Lim's chiropractor care. Yay!! read more

Dr. Lim is the truth! On January 5th while coming back from snorkeling on Makua Beach, a sudden and gnarly shorebreak took me under the barrel of a wave as I was swimming in, sucked my body into its cave, and violently dumped me onto the right side of my face. I immediately heard my neck crack and went into shock and panic: Was I paralyzed? Was my neck fractured? Fortunately, I NEVER lost feeling in any extremity in my body so I started doing damage control. I waved someone over to assist me walking out. I was bleeding severely on top of my right eye. My neck was EXTREMELY sore; someone recommended I immediately see a chiropractor and warned my that my neck would most likely be extremely stiff the next day (it already was). I texted my friend Dr. Jerry Hsieh who runs the highly rated Intero Chiropractic in the Bay Area where I live. He specializes in a unique method of Chiropractic called the Gonstead Method which, to my understanding, is a more holistic way of treating the entire body, viewing it is a chain not isolated to one part. He immediately recommended I see his cohort Dr. Lim who practices this same method of chiropractic. I called them on Jan 5th and amazingly, they were able to squeeze me in end of day the following day! Plus one for promptness! Dr. Lim was patient, thorough, chill and hip (not uptight at all), and most importantly, skilled. After asking me a series of questions and doing a new patient evaluation ($100), he took a full body -ray (3 seperate X-rays costing me $150), skillfully diagnosed not just some neck parts that were misaligned but hip and back as well, and did a series of adjustments ($60). Keep in mind that I could barely look to the left....*maybe* just a few inches and that I also had pain looking right, up, down. Now here's the climax: Amazingly, I had probably 400% greater range of motion the next day and my pain went from maybe a 7 to a 2. I don't understand how this can be as I thought "meh, a muscle strain will heal naturally on its own" but he explained to at the next appointment how nerves are connected to the whole body and that it was good that I came in because even though my neck would have healed on its own, I could have had issues from it being misaligned each time. The results speak for themselves. I went in for 2 more adjustments after that and 2 weeks later my neck feels probably 95%. I never missed a day of physical activity in Hawaii and for that I am truly grateful. Pro tip: Park elsewhere (I won't say where, LOL, but if you know, you know) as they only validate for 1/2 hour and you gotta pay at least $3 depending on how long you stay. Thanks Dr. Lim! If I'm ever in Hawaii and need maintenance I will be sure to see you again! read more

Dr. Lim is the real deal! Finally found a legit Gonstead chiropractor after watching a life changing YouTube video on a boy who couldn't walk/cured by Gonstead Dr. in Australia within a time period of 2 weeks. I came in for my shoulder and he not only made the pain go away after a few adjustments he was nice enough to offer me a discount on my X-Ray since my prior chiropractors wife/secretary refused to give me copies, reminded me how I signed a form and that MY X-rays were his property... mind you I had paid $700 for16 adjustments only to be told on the last session I had to keep coming back if I wanted better results. Action Chiropractic is in my opinion the BEST you can get here. Excellent service from the staff and Dr. Lim read more

Such a phenomenal doc all around... very thorough, and a fantastic adjuster. Takes time to listen to you in detail and then delivers a treatment with PHENOMENAL results. I highly recommend... and this is coming from a fellow chiropractor from LA! read more

Dr Lim is a really good chiropractor who is located in the Pan Am Building across from Don Quijote on the 16th floor. He speaks both Korean and English and is very talented at what he does. He accepts almost all insurance and was actually recommended to me by my primary care doctor. The office is closed on both Sundays and Thursdays, however the staff is really nice about squeezing you in for emergencies. If you don't have chiropractor coverage w/your insurance a single visit will run about $60 or you could buy a package and the front desk will help you figure out the cost. Parking is free for the first 1/2 hour, every 1/2 hour after that is $3 with validation. I highly recommend Dr. Lim, he is pleasant, caring and most important a knowledgeable chiropractor! read more

Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. I come in with so many aches and pains and walk out like a new women. I moved to Maui but every time I'm on Oahu I make an appointment to come in for an adjustment. read more

Very good and Personable. He's always willing to take us in on short notice. Go see Dr Lim

I never thought I'd say this, but having back pains aren't so bad when I can come to a place like action chiropractic. From the friendliness and efficiency of the front desk reception, to Dr. Lim's amazing personality and skill there is five star service all around. I had never experienced back pains like this before, so when they became consistent I was a bit unsure of how to treat it. I went to two other chiropractors before finding Dr. Lim. I even tried getting a therapeutic massage; although some relief was made, nothing at all compared to Dr. Lim's treatment. I read online how he takes x-ray examinations on your initial visit, and for me that was a deal sealer because I felt like the others were working blindly not knowing exactly what might be causing pain. After merely 2 visits, my back was good as new! I of course had to maintain visits where he adjusted my back, but he's also open to many insurance plans so it's actually really cheap to come here! Please give him a chance, promise you won't be disappointed! read more

This place has changed a bit since my last review some odd years ago. Dr. Kim has gone and now Dr. Lim has taken over the practice. However, the excellent type of service has not diminished. In my opinion, I believe Dr. Lim speaks better English so that's a plus to all who use English more proficiently! The receptionists over the years have all been very friendly! They are also very good when handling referrals sent from the VA (Veteran's Affairs). Other veterans, as well as I, can tell you how much trouble the VA has been in the past. However the team of Dr. Lim and his admin will ensure they do everything possible to get things squared away at their end. I recommend all who suffer from chronic pain like me to at least give this practice a try. I have gone to at least five other chiropractors on this island; only to be snubbed by some or forgotten by others. With this practice, you cannot go wrong! I give this place my personal Korean Elvis guarantee!!!! Happy yelping everyone!!! read more

Yay! I'm the first. Hahaha I had to go see him since I had some problems with my neck and my tail bone, and I have to say you must see a chiropractor. There are things that they do to your body that I think no one else can do for you. He's a bit on the pricey side, I think 60 bucks per visit, and the visit is from 15-30 minutes. But before you see Dr. Kim, there's this machine they send you to before you meet him, and it massages your spine! It feels so amazing! From the neck all the way down to your tail bone, it just massages it and it feels so good. But if you need to get your spine aligned, I'd recommend seeing him. It's near Tutti Frutti, and the view is nice to see from his office window. :) read more

Went here for lower back problems. Doctors are friendly, price is more than fair and their treatment worked for my back. Equal to or better than some of the higher priced chiropractors and way better than those budget places that just try to get you in and out, yet keep telling you to come back without any results. The receptionist could've been friendlier though. No, seriously.. I'm kidding, she's great as well lol. read more

Dr. Lim is my saving grace. I've been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for years, and after the first adjustment, I felt significantly less pain. He explains what's going on, and informs you of solutions that'll be pursued. I've been going for about 6 months so far, and after only 8 adjustments, I've never felt better. Dr. Lim is kind, patient, professional, but funny. He's honestly one of a few doctors I feel comfortable talking story with. The service of his receptionist, Hillary, is above and beyond as well. I injured my foot recently and couldn't walk fast enough to feed my meter when Dr. Lim was running a bit behind. Hillary not only apologized for the bit of lateness, but walked to my car for me to put another 25¢ in. Amazing Doctor, excellent service. I'll always recommend this place. read more

I was at the 2014 Korean Festival checking out the vendors when a friendly young lady asked if I'd like to sign up for a consultation with Dr. Lim. After the assessment I was surprised that within those few minutes he knew I had problems sleeping, leg pain and other issues that have been bothering me for a while now. So now, I'm curious and I schedule an appointment for later that week to see if he can help with these issues. Fast-forward a few weeks/appointments later and I'm sleeping better than I have in a long time. I have more energy, the leg pain is almost non-existent and my body feels extremely relaxed. Dr. Brian Lim took the time to explain why I have been experiencing these problems and what he will be working on to help me. As an added bonus, Dr. Lim. and Kristen (office assistant) are really friendly and accommodating. Going in for a doctor's visit is like stopping in to see long-time friends. I am very happy with my results and have been recommending Dr. Lim to my family and friends. If you have something that ails you I highly recommend you call and schedule an appointment. read more

I've been to about 10 chiropractors in my time (my time being 3 years of back pain) and Action Chiropractic is over and above all the rest! Actually took xrays to see what was going on with my back, very cool. Dr. Lim explained everything that he saw that needed improvement and told me how we were going to get there. When I first met him, I could barely stand up straight, the worst pain I've ever had on my lower back. After a few sessions (3?) I felt right as rain and still do. I'm not easily impressed by anyone, especially medical providers (kind of a hypochondriac), but I will not go anywhere else, ever again and I would recommend Action Chiropractic to my best friend AND my worst enemy, thats how strongly I believe in the work they do! read more

Dr. Lim was very informative and knowledgeable on what I needed. I have been dealing with back pain from standing for long periods of time at my events. Within the hour my back felt way better. Dr. Lim didn't just "crack my back", he took the time to do a full exam to find out what he needed to do to fix the problem. I would highly recommend Action Chiropractic. read more

I've just started coming to see Dr.Brian Lim for about 2 weeks! I previously went to a different chiropractor and he helped me a lot and its been a while since I've stopped going and noticed that my lower back and neck is starting to hurt again. My friend recommended me to see Dr.Lim and it was the best choice that I've made! I know it will take a while for me to feel like how I did before when I started going to a chiropractor but I can already tell that Dr.Lim is doing a really great job at what he does! He explains to you in detail about your xray and tells you the approach that he is going to do to help fix your problems. He also remembers you and will always touch base with you and just keep talking to you about the topics that you guys fired up during the previous session.He is very personable to where you felt like you've known him for a while! Dr.Lim ! !! read more

Action Chiropractic is the best in he island. Dr. Lim did wonders for my husbands back. We were here for work and onIy had the weekends to chill. My husbands neck was killing him. He found action on yelp and decided to go. They gave him an emergency appt and showed him some techniques to get he pain to go away. They fit him in a few more times for X-rays and in no time his neck and shoulder were better. They have extreme knowledge and sophisticated techniques to heal the pain quickly. They are courteous and professional which made going there easy. Great location and close to the main Waikiki area. Wether you live in Waikiki or are here for vacation, if you need a chiropractor this is where you go. read more

My back pain was killing me. Luckily I found this place, my doctor was so nice, he was professional, after few manipulation treatment, I felt much better. By the way if I got any chance I will steal their massage bed at the front desk. It's a killer. read more

I've suffered from severe back and neck pain. The neck pain was so horrible that it caused migraines that just won't seem to go away. My back pain would get worse during menstrual cycle. I went to my physician and all they could do was prescribe me meds. I'm not the type of person to always take meds. I believe in tiger balm and salon pas only lol. Anyway, every morning I'd wake up grumpy cause I just feel sore all the time. Mind you my bed isn't even a year old. I told myself I really need to see a chiropractor but just never got around to it until I went with my cousin. I saw how Dr. Lim treated my cousin and instantly gained trust in him. Made an appointment, took some X-rays, then he broke it down to what needs to be adjusted and fixed. After a few sessions, BAM! Woke up fresh and surprised. I've become a jolly morning person now thanks to DOC! read more

I was referred to this company by my insurance ASH. Dr. Brian is number one! He rocks! Very knowledgeable, very kind, friendly. He genuinely takes an interest in you and your needs. Easy location, great view! Free validation for under 30 minutes, although the procedure usually takes 25-35 minutes including elevator ride. Before you go into the office, they place you on this chair that massages your back. It feels really nice. It's kind of bright while you're laying on the chair, so I have to close my eyes. read more

I just left Dr.Lim's office and I am thanking my lucky stars that yelp led me to him. I had back pain that was just piling up over the last 2 years and I constantly put off getting work done because I'd tell myself I didnt have time. Then of course 2 days ago the pain got so bad I couldn't sleep any more. I tried 3 offices and none could take me.... Action Chiropractic however squeezed me in, in one day!!! Semi skeptical since scheduling was such a breeze, but went in anyways because I needed to get sleep again. I honestly don't know how he doesn't have a line out the door. I'm no professional but I've seen a handful of chiropractors in my life and none have adjusted me nor been as thorough as Dr.Lim. I knew my problem areas and what my xrays would look like but he goes into more depth than that. If you are looking for a life saver look no further. His staff is kind and friendly and Dr.Lim is patient and a magician with his hands. read more

I have been suffering with severe neck and shoulder pain this past month. After the first session with Dr. Lim, I can already feel my spine becoming more aligned. Thank you for the help! read more

Love this place. Fabulous customer service. Very thoughtful and caring I came in with Neck pain and they cured me. Yes cured my neck pain. Amazing! His method is better than any other. I will definitely go back to see him. Easy parking. read more

Nothing to say but good things. I am in the medical field myself and I highly recommend Dr Lim. His staff is very professional and courteous. They keep a good tight schedule, I had no wait time. Dr Lim is very thorough and knowledgeable. Very detail oriented and very good at explaining. I left the office in a lot less pain than coming in. read more

I met Dr. Brian Lim at the Korean Festival in 2012. I had just returned to the island from living in SF for almost 3 years. I was recently experiencing quite a bit of back pain and I was unsure why. I'm an avid CrossFitter and I thought that maybe I was just overtrained; so, I stopped CrossFit altogether for about a month with no improvement to my back pain. I've always been skeptical about chiropractors, but I figured that I had nothing to lose in trying this out. To begin, Dr. Lim thoroughly explains your condition, remedies, and answers your questions in full. You can tell he loves his job. I really enjoy visiting with him; he's very personable. My treatment has been incredibly successful. My pain started to subside within the first TWO WEEKS of getting "cracked!" As time went on and I got better, my appointments got further and further apart. It's been about a year since I started coming here and I have no back pain anymore. I just go for maintenance and preventative measures now. I was shocked that the treatment worked, but also very thankful because I was able to get back into my CrossFit workouts! Thanks to Dr. Lim, I can live my life normally, again. I recommend Action Chiropractic to everyone I know that needs a Chiropractor! You won't be disappointed! read more

Happy with my visits here. My back is doing much better, prices are very reasonable (less than half of what my husband paid elsewhere), there's no pressure to come back multiple times a week (unlike where my husband went), and there's no feeling of being rushed. Dr. Lim is a good combination of friendly and professional and the women I've had contact with at the front desk are always friendly (and good at answering/returning calls). Definitely happy I found this place on yelp. read more

Amazing results!!! I have been suffering from nerve pain at the L-5 S-1 for 8 months and taking morphine to control the pain. After my first visit I found relief from the pain. Off the morphine and I'm looking forward to my next visit. Huge MAHALO Dr. Lim read more

For anyone that has been to many chiropractors on the island and still have not found relief i highly suggest giving Dr Brian Lim a visit at his office in the Pan Am building. I have been to many chiropractors over the years and i can tell you that you will get results with Dr Lim. Before finding Dr Lim i would need to see a chiropractor once a month at the very least and after a few sessions with Dr Lim i am pain free and only visit Action chiropractic to get minor adjustments a few times a year as needed. The staff at the front desk are always nice and friendly and welcome you with a smile which is very refreshing as you do not see this very often these days. They also welcome visitors so those of you that are visiting the islands and need chiropractic care while you are in hawaii Action chiropractic is conveniently located on the out skirts of waikiki just behind the Alamoana shopping center. I am and always will be a loyal patient of Action Chiropractic and thank Dr Lim for affording me a pain free life style! read more

Dr Lim adjusted me on my recent trip to Waikiki and saved my trip! I visited him twice. He's not only a lovely person but very knowledgeable and skilled. I am very grateful I found him. read more

Amazing experience! Very kind front desk people and very welcoming! The experience was absolutely great and I love coming here! I learned a lot from the doctor and he took his time on me and made sure i was aware of everything that he was doing! If you're having problems finding a good chiropractor, come to him! read more

I was referred to Dr. Brian Lim from a trusted friend who had been seeing him for her own care. She encouraged me to call his office to see if he could help me. I am extremely overweight and had been experiencing lots of body pain from my mid to lower back even down to my feet! My body pain was becoming unbearable and I didn't want to rely on OTC meds to control the pain. Since our state and the rest of world is battling COVID19, I wasn't even sure if I could get an appointment quickly as many offices have limited hours or are closed, so I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to secure an appointment the very next day. There is was no waiting at all! The one time I was running late, I called and when I finally got there the receptionist offered to place me on a massage table (while I waited). It was such a relaxing and amazing experience -I didn't want to leave the table! Dr. Lim also has an X-ray machine within his office, so you get your results immediately! It's all done in his office so everything is convenient and efficient. My overall experience from the receptionist's friendly greeting to Dr. Lim's effusive energy and wealth of knowledge, I am very satisfied with his care! Although I am in the middle of treatment, I already feel a decrease in pain and know that I am on the road to improvement. There is finally some relief. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Lim for your chiropractor needs. Go call him now! read more

I really enjoyed my session. The dr is great, and the staff is very friendly. I can feel my lower back feeling a little better after my first initial visit. It was my first time and I was a little worried but the dr made me comfortable. He took X-rays and showed me what's going on with my back. I really appreciate everything. Thank you. read more

I have been going to chiropractors all my life and my experience here was the most positive experience in every way! When I called to make an appointment they saw me the same day and were very kind and helpful over the phone. I really appreciated the attention to detail that was given. The Dr spent a great deal of time looking over my spine and talking about what needed to be adjusted. Attention to detail that I really appreciate! After an adjustment here and there I walked out feeling great! I even have to mention that the positive attitude of the Dr was refreshing and very encouraging! I can tell you through all the many adjustments I have had in my life this one was the best. Not only was the adjustment itself well done, but overall the entire experience was a positive one! If you are looking for a great chiropractor this is the one, I highly recommend Action Chiropractic! read more

Dr Brian Lim is my 9th chiropractor I have seen. The problem was my neck, I got a whip lash from riding the Shaka at the Water park 2005 also a few situations I suffered from. This cause major headaches, ear eye jaw aches, vision problem, swallowing, breathing problems, disorientation, stiff neck, aches and pains in neck shoulder back mid back and lower back, tingling and numbness in arms, legs, feet and buttocks, constipation, hands stiff and stuck in the morning when I wake up, hard to sleep, always tense , anxiety, irritated because I always feel like cracking my neck on my own...So this is 13 yrs later. But I saw the first chiropractor 2015, so I've done my shopping around. Dr Lim has truly helped me on my first visit, with all the problems I've named above.

LIM AT ACTION CHIROPRACTIC WILL HELP YOUThanks Dr. Brian Lim and Staff read more

I will start off as I do not go to doctors, do not take meds, and if I do go to get help I am in pretty bad shape!!! With that said I have been fixed and am a strong believer in quality service. I have never left felling ripped off or unhappy. They explain everything before and during your treatiment and will always take the time to answer questions, give you pointers, and educate you on how you can better take care of your body. My back was a mess to the point I went to my PCP. My PCP said I has muscle spasms and gave me pain pills. I came directly here and found out I had a broken tail bone, hips out of place, and discs out of place in my neck and back. Make a long story short I will always recommend them and continue my treatment. All staff is great, pleasant, and I look forward to visit them each time I go!!!! Thanks you Action Chiroprctic Llc. read more

Dr. Brian Lim is awesome! on January 14th, I had a minor dislocated right shoulder from lugging my mom's combined 140lbs of assorted luggage for her mainland flight. I couldn't raise my right arm and my shoulder had waves of pain when I tried to pick up stuff, shampoo my hair,or even trying to reach the buttons on the radio in my car! Called Kristen the receptionist/nurse and she was so very kind. Put me up for an appointment that day, and Dr. Lim popped my shoulder back into place and also did various adjustments to my neck and lower back! I felt 1000% percent better! (hey its no exaggeration) Immediately I could do my normal stuff again but Dr. Lim told me to rest... The next day NO PAIN whatsoever! Like it didn't even happen! Go to Dr. Brian Lim if you have pain and you are miserable. He'll do the best he can to make you feel so much better!! I also love the traction/massage machine (you can see the picture on Yelp) they put you on while you wait for the doctor! Almost fell asleep...;) read more
