AcuTherapy Clinics provides acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and medical massage for patients living and working in and around Waikiki. Our Liliha clinic is approximately 10 minutes from Waikiki by car—a straightforward drive via McCully Street or along Kapiolani Boulevard. Convenient on-site parking is available at our Liliha location.
Waikiki’s economy runs on hospitality and tourism, which means a large share of our patients from this area are hotel workers, restaurant staff, and retail employees who spend long hours on their feet. Prolonged standing and repetitive motion in service roles are among the leading causes of lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, knee strain, and neck and shoulder tension. We also see Waikiki residents and visitors active in water sports—surfers, paddleboarders, and outrigger canoe paddlers—with shoulder impingement, rotator cuff strain, and low back pain. Stress and sleep disruption from shift work and irregular schedules are equally common presenting concerns.
Every patient begins with a full constitutional assessment using Dr. Cai’s CenterGy (Synergies) diagnostic method—a precision system that identifies the root pattern driving each condition. Treatment may include acupuncture, medical massage, and needle-free CenterGy energy therapy for needle-sensitive patients.
