Our services

Four ways to support
a personal care plan.

A thoughtful plan may include one service or a combination. Dr. Mizuba will help you understand each recommendation, what it is intended to address, and how progress will be reviewed.

01Oxygen under pressure

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy

The Big Island’s only certified hyperbaric oxygen therapy clinic.

HBOT involves breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber, increasing the oxygen available in the blood. It has established uses for certain medical conditions, while other applications remain under study.

What should I understand before starting?

The clinical team reviews your health history, medications, and goals. Ask which evidence applies to your situation, who will oversee your treatment, and how it fits with your existing care.

If HBOT is appropriate, the team explains the proposed pressure, session length, schedule, and safety preparation. Ear or sinus pressure, temporary vision changes, and other risks should be discussed before treatment.

02Targeted acoustic therapy

ESWT/Shockwave therapy

Swiss precision with the spirit of Aloha.

Our ESWT care features exclusivity with Storz AG Medical. Dr. Mizuba is nationally and internationally board certified in ESWT/shockwave therapy.

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy, or ESWT, delivers acoustic energy through the skin to a selected area. It is used for certain musculoskeletal conditions, including some persistent tendon problems and plantar fasciitis.

How is treatment tailored?

Your diagnosis and the tissue being treated guide whether shockwave is appropriate and which approach is considered. Dr. Mizuba can explain focused shockwave and radial pressure-wave options, how they differ, and the intended treatment goals.

Ask about comfort during the session, possible side effects, and how activity or rehabilitation may fit into your plan.

03Movement & musculoskeletal care

Chiropractic care

A closer look at how you move, what feels limited, and what you want to do more comfortably.

Chiropractic care focuses on the musculoskeletal system, including the spine, joints, and surrounding tissues. Your assessment helps guide the use of hands-on care, movement advice, and exercises suited to your needs.

What might my care involve?

Discuss your symptoms, previous injuries, and activities that matter to you. Dr. Mizuba may assess movement and recommend appropriate manual techniques or exercises, with an explanation of the benefits and risks. Further evaluation or referral may be appropriate for some concerns.

Spinal manipulation may help some people with low-back pain; the response and suitability depend on the individual.

04Spinal care & mechanical traction

Decompression therapy

Focused care for disc concerns, guided by an individual evaluation.

Our decompression therapy focuses on mechanical traction for disc herniation, prolapsed discs, bulging discs, and disc sequestration. Dr. Mizuba reviews your symptoms, health history, and available imaging to determine whether this approach belongs in your care plan.

What should I ask about?

Tell us where you feel discomfort and how it affects movement and daily life. Bring any relevant reports or imaging so the doctor can understand your starting point.

Ask how mechanical traction works, whether it is appropriate for your specific disc concern, and how your response will be reviewed. Your plan is tailored after assessment.

Your goals. A plan built together.

Care is a partnership.
You are part of the team.

Dr. Mizuba brings clinical judgment, education, and attentive care. You bring your priorities, questions, and feedback. Together, you work toward improvements that matter in your daily life.

  1. 01

    Understand your starting point

    Talk through your health history, current concerns, existing care, and the activities you want to enjoy.

  2. 02

    Choose a thoughtful path

    Discuss suitable services, the reasoning behind them, expected benefits and limits, and a schedule you can understand.

  3. 03

    Review and adjust

    Share what is changing, what feels difficult, and what questions remain. Your response helps guide the next conversation.

Our commitment to you

Listen closely. Explain your options. Take your concerns seriously. Help you understand your plan and when a different approach or another clinician’s input may be needed.

Your voice matters

Ask questions, follow the guidance you agree on, and let us know when something is uncomfortable or difficult to fit into your life. Your feedback helps make care more personal.

Progress is individual. A plan should respond to your needs and circumstances, with room to reassess along the way.

Quality of life is personal

The moments you
want more of.

A walk without having to turn back early. Enjoying a vacation. Keeping up with the people you love. Feeling ready for an activity that matters to you.

These are useful goals to bring into a care conversation. Tell us what you are working toward so progress can be discussed in terms that mean something to you.

A little clarity before you begin

Your questions
are welcome.

You do not need to arrive with a treatment already chosen.

Do I need all four services?

No. A care plan should reflect your assessment and goals. Discuss whether one service, a combination, or a different approach makes sense for you.

How many visits will I need?

That depends on the service, your clinical needs, and your response. Ask about the proposed schedule, when progress will be reviewed, and what would prompt a change in the plan.

Can we plan around work or a vacation?

Let the team know about your schedule, travel dates, and what you hope to do. Discuss the timing and practical demands of any proposed care before committing to a plan.

How does this fit with my other healthcare?

Bring a list of your medications, relevant medical information, and details of your current care. Discuss whether input from your primary clinician or another specialist is needed so recommendations fit your broader healthcare needs.
