PATIENT TESTIMONIALS My shoulder, neck and back are painful. I went to get treated from another laser office and I was treated by a technician who only treated my neck. I came to Dr. Oda—who is from Hawaii—and he treated me every time, worked hard and my pain is gone. I just came back from Vegas and I could walk the terminal and did an hour weeding in the yard pain-free! I am so glad I chose to come here! – Sasamu, 72 years old I have been suffering with chronic back pain since an injury in my 40’s, but it has been getting worse and worse throughout the years. Now I’m 67 and was in pain everyday. My back was stiff in the morning. Dull, heavy aching back pain, some days worse than others but always there. I’m so thankful that I received treatment from Dr. Oda, because now I can finally enjoy my grandkids and my retirement. Bon dance here I come! – Emily, 69 years old I have a spinal stenosis at two places in my back. I had this for five years. I get tingling into my feet and my back is tight all the time. I cannot get out of bed easily and takes me awhile. After laser treatment I can do the things I like without pain. Now I have no tingling or pain which was making my life terrible. Thank you Dr. Oda! – Eileen, 62 years old If you have had pain like me went everywhere and tried everything and nothing has worked so far. Please come to Dr. Oda. I came here because I had pain even at night when sleeping and needed help. I walk great now, no pain, I just booked my ticket to Vegas because I can go again, the last time was three years ago due to my arthritis pain. I have my life back! Thank you Dr. Oda! – Stella, 87 years old THE GARDEN ISLAND - BEST OF KAUA'I 2015
