Dr. Smith was amazing! I came in with a back flare-up and was moving very stiffly. He started with a massage and stretching to loosen up the muscles, followed by a series of adjustments. He used the Planer Method, which helped release pressure in my lower back that honestly felt like it had been there for years. I felt so much relief after the treatment and was amazed at how much better I felt. Dr. Smith is very caring, attentive, and really takes the time to understand what you're feeling. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with back pain or stiffness! read more

Aloha My lower back was out from moving boxes. I went 6 days with pain then called Dr. Smith. I got adjusted all pain went away in 2 days and I'm surfing again!!! I was referred by coworker Rex and Dominick!!! Dr. Smith is great!!! December 2025 Mahalo, Kayne read more

My back and hips were locked up and Dr Smith fixed me up perfectly. He did some stretching and loosened me up first, which really helps make the adjustment last. I felt better immediately! The hip adjustment isn't something I have gotten back home so that was new and my hips are probably the source of my back problems, so that was a really really nice addition. read more

I rately make Yelp reviews, and even more rarely write any 1-Star reviews, but Dr. Smith & his scheduler (Star) are so extremely unprofessional that I felt compelled to warn others. As I'm a U.S. veteran with service-connected injuries, Dr. Smith was my chiropractor & I also went to his clinic for massage therapy - both services provided by the VA on an outpatient basis. I was surprised when Dr. Smith stated that he could bill my VA authorization for chiropractic under the VA authorization for massage therapy, which has its own VA authorization to receive services under. Not only does this appear to be fraudulent (ie. insurance fraud), but I have had a very difficult time trying to reach him re: the important matter of insurance authorization for services - unreal! Finally, as I'm in severe pain, I had to have the VA try to reach his clinic and when they did and spoke w/his scheduler (Star), she lied to the VA stating that I was a difficult client to schedule without any evidence - what?! When I confronted Star on this, she simply terminated my services and the clinic has done this to other clients (and other veterans) who have confronted them on their questionable practices that are either not ethical, legal, or are downright unprofessional. In addition to this, Dr. Smith is a terrible chiropractor and I wished I hadn't switched from my last one but I was lazy and Dr. Smith was in walking distance. The 3 masseuses he employs from Japan - only one is so so but the other two are no good and frankly, there are much better massage places. The clinic's advertising also seems misleading bc when I went there in person for the first time all there is is a tiny makeshift room at the end of a long hallway that serves as an all-purpose room for chiro, massage, etc. Plus they have this creepy camera in the room where I can't help but wonder if I'm being filmed when I'm undressing and getting on the table. The clinic might continue to feed off of tourists who are not around long enough or are local clients to discover these serious concerns with Dr. Smith & his makeshift 'clinic', but there are just too many serious concerns with their business practices. In Waikiki and surrounding area there are also better options for true quality services with talented staff with Aloha where there is no possibility of insurance fraud, no creepy cameras, and where I feel respected as a long-term client. At any rate, my only consolation is that I didn't have to pay out-of-pocket for the crappy services at Dr. Smith's 'clinic' although I always tipped generously after my massages more out of respect for his masseuses who try their best. read more

After a long 6 hour flight from LA, I had the worst pinched nerve in my back. My boyfriend and I were visiting for a week and by the 2nd night, I was only able to sleep for maybe an hour or two. Woke up Saturday morning on a mission to find any chiro that would take me.. little did I know that it was going to be a lot harder than I thought. Most places did not accept walk-ins or they were not open on the weekends. Quite frankly, I'm glad they were closed or not taking walk ins or else I would not have gotten a chance to meet Dr, Smith! Thankfully he was only an 8 minutes walk from my hotel so I didn't have to Uber anywhere! He knew exactly how to get that nerve right where my shoulder blade is which really did wonders to my back and I was able to get thru the rest of my trip just fine. Would recommend everyone to see him! read more

Amazing amazing amazing. I sometimes have an upper rib on my back go out, and I have a chiropractor back home. Just got here on vacation and my rib popped out and ruined my first day. I called, got an appointment same day, and I feel amazing!!! Saved the day!! read more

Best chiropractor at an affordable price - love getting adjusted with Dr. Smith! Highly recommend!

Dr Charles Smith rescheduled an appointment without calling me to explain why. I tried reaching him by phone, but he would not return a phone call after I left four messages to try to reschedule to a time that would work for me.  Prior to that, we had no upsets between us. This is a total mystery to me. This is very unprofessional. I wish he was braver and would pick up a phone to call to me and explain what's going on.  I have been in pain now for 2 weeks. I don't feel that leaving anymore voice messages is going to help. Maybe if someone does go to him, they can ask him why he could not return a phone call. read more

Dr. Charles Smith is one of the best Chiropractors in the industry. His knowledge of working with bodies in the adjustments is beyond amazing. The personable approach of healing Dr. Smith shares has facilitated tremendous growth in recovery of an injury. I am now fully recovered and getting A's in a PhD Program through the guidance of Dr. Smith. He truly cares for his patients and provides stellar recommendations to improve the quality of his patients lives. Dr. Smith is the real deal and such a wonderful mentor to many in our community. Thank you for all of your dynamic contributions of being such a potent Doctor. read more

I have been in so much pain for nearly 6 months. In the beginning I assumed I just slept on my back wrong or "tweaked" a muscle. When I went to the Doctor they just gave me muscle relaxers and "prescribed" me a You Tube video for some stretches. I followed this pattern for about 5 months with none to minimal improvement. That's when I found Smith Family Wellness! After my first session I felt noticeable relief. I was able to turn and move with minimal pain for the first time in months. I have had 2 sessions since then and am almost 100% pain free. 100% would recommend going here for your chiropractic needs!! read more

Charlie Smith is a great chiropractor, no doubt about it. He's also increasingly mentally unstable, apparently in an unhappy marriage, and allowing his personal problems to now spill over onto his patients. While being an otherwise satisfied patient of his for several years, he went crazy on two separate occasions, suddenly blowing up my phone with bizarre ranting texts that honestly sounded like someone on drugs. (I have screenshots of all the texts.) Mind you, we never texted socially - only to make or confirm appointments. After the first incident, he apologized and said he was going through personal problems at the time. I gave him a second chance, then awhile later it happened again, much worse than the first time. I did ask if everything was ok, or if he wanted to talk about anything, but the rants continued like a schizophrenic homeless person shouting into the wind. I finally had to block his number on my phone. This is a guy who's line of work puts you in adjustment positions where he can literally snap your neck if he feels like it. There's no way I'm putting myself in that vulnerable spot with someone proven to be unhinged and apparently getting worse now. Visit him at your own risk! read more

I have gone to Dr Charles Smith every month, since I arrived in Honolulu almost 5 years ago. I will always use Dr Smith. He is excellent and has kept my old body as pain free as I can expect at my age. He has also assisted me in times of great pain very effectively. Dr Smith is easy going and he takes however much time is needed. I have never felt rushed. He has a great sense of humor and yet very professional, always making me feel at ease. He takes most all insurance to the best of my knowledge. Thank you, Dr Smith! read more

I was in town on vacation when I pinched a nerve and could barely walk. Back home I go once a week to a chiropractor for my chronic back pain from scoliosis. I called a few places and decided to see Dr. Smith, so glad I did. His prices are reasonable, he was so close to my hotel, and could see me the same day. The appointment was one of the best visits I've had since having chiropractic work done for many years. Thank you Dr. Smith for relief and letting me enjoy the rest of my vacation! read more

I go at least once a month! Dr Smith knows his craft and is always receptive when I need to discuss the different pains I feel. I always leave feeling relieved and with a lot less pain. If you live in Honolulu, or are visiting WaikikiI, and are in need of a Chiropractor, I would highly recommend Dr. Smith. read more

I was in serious neck pain after surfing Exident. Nothing seems to work, I tried massages and other doctors. When I got referral to this charopracter form my freind I didn't realize that I actually never experience real charopracter before. Right after first visit I felt much better and came back in 2 days. Totally recommend it!!!! read more

Smith Family Wellness - Chiropractors Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is a long overdue follow up review for Dr. Smith. In May 2018, I injured myself at work, Dr. Smith came to my rescue & put me under his care for couple months. Not only he got me back to recovery faster but he also guides me very closely on my body's maintenance. In addition, he helped me with paperworks & how to dealt with my company's adjuster that kinda played hard ball. He's very awesome doctor. Very highly recommended if you injure yourself at work read more

Dr. Smith is my life saver and helped me to release the neck pain 90% better. I went his clinic every week and he used decompress machine to stretch my neck spine and then adjut my whole body. He is the best in town! read more

Just Left Dr Smith's office and he's awesome. My hip was out and I was in a ton of pain. I told him I don't like the the neck cracking and he said we can just focus on the hips. He popped it right back in and made a few other small adjustments. Don't be fooled by the tiny generic office. Dr smith knows what he's doing. Very reasonable prices too. read more

Found Dr Smith on Yelp when I had severe neck and back pain. He's amazing. His techniques are unique. He starts with back massage and then proceeds to adjustment which has really helped me. I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking to get better. read more

I've had a subtle lower back pain that persisted for a few weeks, so I open yelp thankfully to find this little hidden gem. I inquired about an appointment over the weekend, and Dr. Smith returns my call right on Monday. He was able to take me in the next morning which was great. This place is conveniently located in Waikiki with parking accommodation upon checking in. Dr. Smith is located in a small room but he has you fill out some paperwork before getting started. The session itself took only 30 minutes and he was right on time. First I laid out on this infra red technique bed that massaged my body for 10 minutes, it wasn't painful for me at least and I enjoyed it. He then put me on a vertical bed that laid flat so that he could adjust my lower back. I personally enjoy adjustments aka cracking! For some reason it's just so relieving and satisfying at the same time, it could be the sound it makes that makes me enjoy it.. weird I know! Anywho, it's difficult to say that the pain in my lower back is completely healed, because I understand it is or can be a lengthy process. It is still day one so we'll see how it goes from there. All throughout my visit, Dr. Smith made sure I was comfortable, well informed about what might be the cause of pain, and very easy-going/personable. Some of you may be wondering what the cost is like, but it's hard to say when it's depends on the kind of treatment you're getting. He was open to billing my insurance, and the amount I paid in full could be applied towards my next visit if it was fully covered. In no way, shape or form do I think he is doing this to rob you is what I'm trying to say.. He is very passionate about his work and is very reasonable all around. Needless to say I will definitely be back. read more

Dr. Smith was very helpful and easy to contact when a friend I was traveling with had some back issues. He made an appointment with us at his earliest availability. His knowledge and therapy was very helpful and successful in my friends recovery. It's nice to know when you are out traveling that there's someone like Dr. Smith who can help out. Look forward to a follow up before we head home. read more

I tried here for the first time last week and had an amazing result just for one visit! I found this clinic from HMSA list so Yes, they do accept insurance. The first visit would be $69 without insurance and 2nd visit and after is going to be $35 but if you have an insurance it would be only copayment which was $10 for me. Either way I think it's pretty affordable so sounded like they take care of lots of tourists on vacation here also. Their office was small and procedure was pretty simple and quick. That's another a huge plus for me because time is precious for us! They have a special massage machine which Dr. called "The massage machine, like Mercedes!" made with jade stones and they roll up and down your entire body. It made me feel great and I was telling myself I would come back here only for this massage regardless his treatment was good or worse. It was about 10 min massage and he even left the office and left me alone to give me some privacy. After that he gave me adjustment of my whole body and I heard a lot of cracks!!! Unlike the ones I have tried before it was something I could tell the result right away in one visit. I was actually felt so sick the day before and I thought I might have caught a cold but I guess my body just needed an adequate adjustment since afterwards I felt so good and went on some shopping for 3 hours :) Thanks, Dr. you fixed my problems and I ended up spending some $$ at Victoria's Secret and Sephora...lol I would definitely come back and recommend to you all. read more

This guy saved my vacation!! Half way thru my Hawaiian vacation my back went out, probably from jumping off the rocks at Waimea Bay. I looked for a chiropractor in the Waikiki beach area, near my hotel. Found Dr. Smith conveniently located 3 blocks away from my hotel. He has a very good attitude, good personality and he sure knows what he is doing. After the first visit, the pain subsided and I was able to walk better. After the second visit, I was surfing and doing everything I went to Hawaii for. If this guy had his office in new york city, I would be one of his regulars. read more

I've gone for 4 treatments at the Smith Wellness Center, and scheduled for tomorrow. I found the business through the American Chiropractor Association, and happy that it is located in Waikiki which is great because there is parking of bus stop and routes for joggers or bicycling so I have different commute options. It's a comfortable learning experience for me because Dr Smith is informative for your comfort and understanding of his background and techniques. To warm up at the same time relax, he offers you the jade bed option where you can be left in peace for the initial 10 minutes. If you know what you want let him know. If not he'll suggest options after evaluating your condition. I was able to try the full activator treatment at one visit and other methods on different visits. I definitely like the combo treatment which I would now request with each visit since I like the all around optimal benefit to adjust my spine where needed I feel better circulation and movement. I learned if I have sore muscles there is something for that too I would like to try it the next time that I have soreness from physical training. For now I get achy back because of bad posture that is inevitable from working long hours or different activities so I come in for routine adjustments. I schedule weekly, and definitely monthly with Smith Wellness Center for my chiropractic needs. read more

Dr. Smith was fantastic! He was able to see me on short notice, and really helped my aching neck and back. It is clear he cares deeply about what he does and giving his patients the best possible treatment. Very reasonable rates, and top quality equipment. Highly recommend! I will definitely be back before I leave the island. read more

Dr. Smith is an excellent Chiropractor! My hubby (Shane) and I have been going to him since 2013. Shane needed a fixing cuz he fell off of a ladder at work and his back was killing him for months! We found Dr. Smith on Groupon I believe and I was pregnant at the time. I was afraid of getting the alignment during pregnancy so I didn't do it, but he generously let me experience his fantastic massage beds! We Love them! Since then we recommend friends and especially family to visit him and they absolutely Love his work as well! He aligned my wrist twice now and both times were instant relief. Turns out I have weak wrists, and more so after pregnancy from when muscles being relaxed during pregnancy my thumb would pop out and since then it never went back to normal. Anyways, Dr. Smith is amazing! Please go and see him, you won't regret it! read more

I have seen Dr. Charles over the past year and recently had a reoccurrence of both neck, shoulder and lower back problems, his professional care and treatments have given me relief after just a couple of appointments he takes his time and understands what my problem is, he has the knowledge of experience along with the necessary tools to help me, conveniently located in the Waikiki Beach area with Free parking, He is always on time, affordable, and I always walk out feeling better than when I walked in for my appointment, I've experienced other chiropractors in town and I find Charles to be the best for my condition, Yesterday he included both chiropractic and physical therapy which was an excellent combination of treatment, I highly recommend you give him a try and I believe you will be more than satisfied and will become a regular and satisfied patient, Aloha Steve J read more

This guy is fantastic! Had migraines on my trip due to a neck alignment issue, and I've never had a chiropractor take care of me like this. I feel great, and am ready for some hiking! Dr. Charles has got to be the best chiropractor in Waikiki. Great pricing, and he's very pleasant to speak with. I've been to a dozen other chiropractors, and he's for sure the best with neck problems... I feel like a million bucks. 5 stars, without a doubt read more

Not too sure how things work around here. I called but got an answering service. No worries, it's right next door, I'll walk over and check. No receptionist to help, just someone by the elevator saying, "Just have a seat in those chairs and he will come out to get you." This is where it does not pay to look local. There were 4 Caucasian people who were helped and not once was I asked if I needed help. I made eye contact with the guy and I thought he would have asked me if I needed something but he chose to engage,what I believed to be a know client since he called her by her first name, someone else. No worries, I'm on vacation and I can wait. I figured after he had attended to her he would then ask me if I needed something, nope. He walked her out and then closed his door. As I walked up to knock on the door another fella beat me to it. Still, no acknowledgement that I was there. I'm not the smallest guy in the world but I do however look like local to these parts. Can't give you any reviews on the treatments but as for customer service, it gets a thumbs down. I think it's obvious that folks with no luggage sitting in the quasi waiting room are there to see the chiropractor. Even if I didn't have an appointment you could have offered me one. Oh, I guess it was a bad choice on my part too to come an hour before lunch and wait in those uncomfortable chairs. Hope you had an outstanding lunch. I'll find someone else.

I've had back problems for 25 Years. Been seeing a chiropractor for about 15, but have lived in 3 different States. Chiropractors are like barbers you have to go to the same one consistently. Doc is very easy and flexible with his availability which is another huge plus. He's also been good to me on short notice on occasion's of my hips been out of whack. Friendly and professional. Office is conveniently located by hy steakhouse (visitors, end of the side street right of the duke statue). read more

The last month I was having extreme lower back/hip pain due to my job/over working the gym. Dr. Smith had me feeling 100% walking out of my first appointment with him today! I am so glad I found his office. It is a convenient location with a professional and clean environment. Would definitely recommend to everyone! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Smith 2-4 times a month for 3 months. I have fairly complicated issues with my back and neck which have been improving with his help. I like Dr. Smith's treatment techniques of massage, stretching and adjustment. I appreciate the fact that, while basic, my sessions take only about 15 minutes and I rarely have to wait. Dr. Smith has very reasonable rates (military discount) and is SUPER flexible with his schedule. On short notice, he will schedule or change an appointment with no complaint. Unlike most other chiropractors, he does not pressure you to come more often than you want or need to. His office is at a great location (in Waikiki) and free parking is available. One of the three free parking stalls have been available every time I've gone. I highly recommend Smith Family Wellness! read more

Dr Smith helped me in a great way! I am visiting the island, had a back problem and he fixed me right up ... on a Saturday afternoon!! Thanks Dr Smith! Very much appreciated!! read more

Dr Smith is fantastic! He adjusts my super muscular husband, my 5 year old daughter, and myself. He is just wonderful!! I highly recommend him to everyone! read more

Woke up with a stiff back and by the end of the day I was completely locked up. Dr Smith was able to accommodate a last minute appt on a Fri evening. He got me all adjusted and on the road to feeling better. Came back two days later for some final adjustments. My wife ended up tweaking her neck and he got her in for an appt as well. We would've been miserable otherwise. He saved our vacation. Dr Smith is knowledgable, friendly, and offers great pricing. I would absolutely recommend him! read more

The Doctor here its really great, plus theres parking which seems impossible in waikiki

I spent 9 days in Hawaii and about half way thru I was miserable and hardly able to move my neck and had started having headaches. I searched the area for local chiropractors and Dr Smith was actually located in the same building I was staying so I gave him a call. He was very friendly over the phone and was able to see me within the hour. He was very friendly in person, explained everything he was doing. I see a chiropractor at home and doesn't do half the explaining or treatment that Dr Smith does. I left feeling no pain and was able to enjoy the rest of my vacation. I was very thankful to have found him and will definitely come back next time I visit Hawaii. read more
