History

Established in 1967.

Originally located on Furneaux Lane in downtown Hilo, our office was Hawaii County’s first chiropractic practice. Dr. O.A.Ohlson started in 1967 but moved to Maui in 1980 and turned the office over to Dr. Klein.

in 1986 we moved to our present location, Hilo’s largest free-​standing natural health care center. The old plantation style home we occupy is a comfortable and relaxing site with a history of health care.

In the 1950s, Mrs. Hawayo Takata operated a clinic here offering Reiki treatments. This Japanese method of energy healing was taught and spread from here by Mrs. Takata and is now used all over the world. We maintain a small Reiki shrine which receives visitors from many different countries.
