Dr Jen was the most professional, skilled, accommodating acupuncturist I have ever encountered. Her intuition and skill at pinpointing troubled areas was astounding.

Awesome treatment!!! I feel so much better!

Whenever I come here, I feel hope renewed. Not just in my mind, pain is relieved, movement is helped. Thank you Jen.

Jennifer at Hawaii Sports Acupuncture is very knowledgeable, gentle, caring and her treatments are effective. I would highly recommended her!

Jennifer makes EVERY session positive, informative and enjoyable! Mahalo for being an expert in your professional as well as wonderful!

Dr. Kawamoto did a thorough evaluation of my injury and background medical history before beginning my acupuncture session. She was able to locate the specific area of pain. She completed the session by stimulating these areas effectively and giving me specific exercises to work on and strengthen before my next appointment. I have had success in managing pain on a previous situation with Dr. Kawamoto and look forward to my next session.

I visited HNL Acupuncture with some trepidation as it was my first experience with acupuncture and I don't love needles. Not only did Dr. Jennifer explain everything as she was working -- easing my concerns -- but pain from my "tennis elbow" decreased immediately. I can't say that it will work for everyone, but I am an absolute believer, am going back for follow-up treatments and highly recommend Dr. Jennifer.

Jennifer is super knowledgeable and has always made sure I was comfortable during my acupuncture sessions. She provided me personalized care and tips for my extensor tendonitis.

Jennifer Kawamoto of Honolulu Acupuncture and Wellness is the best at her job. Friendly, professional and you get extraordinary results from her treatments. I recommend Jennifer to anyone having any type of ailment requiring acupuncture; you will be satisfied beyond belief. Trust me I’ve every pain you can imagine and she gets it right every time.

She Determined the cause of my sore ankle immediately and improving after 2 treatments.This is my 2nd treatment with her ( fixed my badly injured shoulder after first getting 2months of Physical Therapy ).Highly recommended; recommended to friends.So very experienced & broad knowledge of anatomy , sports medicine as well as acupuncture.

Dr Kawamoto is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, professional. My issues went away, several of them instantly, as she gently and precisely placed the acupuncture needles. I highly recommend her.

Very detailed and asked all questions related to my issues.

Best place ever wish I could find a place like this in Portland, Oregon

Would 100% recommend. Jen is a knowledgeable, professional and compassionate Dr who made me feel welcomed and supported throughout. Her knowledge and skill has helped me to recovery from injury quicker and with less pain. Thank you Dr Jen.

I pinched a nerve in my back and was going to physical Therapy for about 2 months and nothing was working. After my first visit to HNL acupuncture my pain was cut in half and got better and better after each visit. This was my first experience with acupuncture and I will definitely be back. Luckily it was covered by my insurance as well.

This is a post from a session I recently had this past Dec 2022.Jen suggested a microneedling treatment to help me brighten, smooth, and even out my facial skin tone. Let me first say that I did not know what to expect, but Jen did a great job at walking me through the process. The whole process was as relaxing as getting a facial. The microneedling part did have some sizzle to it (which Jen warned me about), but I would put the pain scale at a 0.5-1 out of 10. I definitely would do it again, with no numbing of any kind. The stimulation is to help with the circulation and collagen production (I think). Jen added a mask and other serums to accentuate the results. She even sent me home with some of her own serum mixtures and instructions for the next few days. I truly was so impressed with Jen and her knowledge and professionalism with the whole process. But best of all was the result, I kept getting compliments about how great my skin looked. And how long the result has lasted. It’s been a month and I’m still very happy with the result. I’m pretty into trying facial skin treatments, and this is definitely at the top with some laser treatments I have gotten. I can’t wait for my next session!! Thanks so much Jen!!

She gets results! I’m pain free and off meds after nearly two years. My elderly mom has her natural tears back and improved energy & circulation after a stroke.Jennifer was thorough, patient & professional. Easy to communicate with and always sought feedback. I benefitted from her background in sports medicine & oriental medicine.She successfully treated frustrating elbow pain that hadn’t responded to rest, physical therapy, laser or ultrasound and got me off the strong meds I’d been taking. Her persistence and commitment in hunting down the source of my problem was amazing. She also taught me how to proactively prevent it going forward.My results made me bring my elderly mom for post-stroke treatment. Jennifer worked to really understand Mom’s concerns & created a prioritized treatment plan. She restored Mom’s natural tears and improved her energy and circulation. Mom’s much stronger and has a much better quality of life.This was my first experience with acupuncture but I’m now convinced that it’s a realistic option going forward. Thanks, Jennifer!

I would highly recommend Jen Kawamoto! She has helped me to manage my pain and keeps me feeling good and functioning! She took a good and thorough assessment of my condition to start and then created a treatment plan accordingly. Her treatments have helped me to feel 'balanced' again and when 'flare ups' happen, she helps me to manage them. She's easy to make appointments for and is very good about wait time. Parking for her office is easy to access as well.

Dr. Jen is confident, knowledgeable, and very empathetic to her patients. She has helped me so much with various issues that have come up, and I trust her wholeheartedly with my acupuncture care. She was my last hope but gave me the best results!

Highly recommended! I found Jennifer via Yelp when I was looking for an acupuncturist in my neighborhood. I knew that I chose the correct one when she took the time to listen to what was bothering me and did a very thorough review/exam of my current body motion capabilities. She is a professional that uses a variety of techniques to treat what the focus is. Because the procedure is very relaxing, it is a nice little break from life and you leave feeling great!

Jennifer Kawamoto is a conscientious, thorough, gentle, and caring acupuncturist. I had injured myself and had to get help ease my problem, which I learned a week later, was drop foot -- a nerve injury.Before I saw Dr. Kawamoto, I had injured myself right before boarding my flight to Oahu. My left foot was flopping to the ground as soon as my heel touched the ground. After my first session, the flopping was much less and I had much more control of my foot. I saw her a few days later for a second session which made a great difference. She recommended that I see my primary care physician when I returned to the Mainland. I'm fortunate that she helped me regain a better gait after my injury and I was able to enjoy my week on Oahu. I would definitely recommend her and go back to her when I'm in Honolulu.

I've tried acupuncture many times from at least 6 different places and Jennifer is by far the best one I've been to. I rarely see much difference or success in treating my ailments when using acupuncture so I was especially thrilled when Jennifer treated me and brought me great relief and got rid of my issues almost immediately. She not only made me feel good after the treatment but during as well, making sure I was comfortable and most of all she showed a genuine care for me and fixing my problems. I recommend Hawaii Sports Acupuncture to anyone, whether they've done acupuncture before or just looking to try it out.

Dr. Jennifer made me a believer. My parents made me see many acupuncturists to heal my muscle pain and I've never had any significant changes to make me think that acupuncture actually works. However, after seeing Jennifer that has changed. She specializes in something different and she targets specific areas with her knowledge in sports science. She knows the body, not only just sticking needles stuff she's legit! Can't go wrong with that. Added benefit is that it's her own place and you're always talking directly to her. And she also uses text message to make it convenient. I'm recommending all my friends and family!

This was my first time getting acupuncture and I was pretty terrified, but Jen was fantastic. Very relaxing experience, a couple pokes were a little ouch but way less painful and faster than a flu shot. I felt more energy and clear-headed after the session. I'll definitely be back :)

Finally... RELIEF! I have been dealing with knee pain, osteoarthritis, for over 15 years in my left knee and when my right knee started getting bad, I wanted to cry. I did the traditional western medicine practice of surgery, 6 weeks of physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medication both oral and injected, but my knee was still painful.  So, I tried acupuncture at the urging of my PT.  After the first session with Jennifer, I felt no pain for the first two days. I could finally sleep the whole night and didn't need to take my NSAIDS or pain meds. After the second session no more knee pain, increased range of motion, and less inflammation. It truly made me a believer of acupuncture!The office was secure, clean and quiet. Jennifer was very professional and knowledgeable.  She truly LISTENED to my concerns. I am so thankful that she did what western medicine couldn't do, and took my pain away.

If I could rate more than 5 stars, I WOULD! Jen is amazing!! I have had TMJ, nausea, vertigo, and chronic migraines for the past few years and was looking for an alternative treatment to botox for my TMJ. I was in Hawaii visiting family for about a month and previously requested an appointment for the day after I arrived. She was able to squeeze me in for appointments 3 times a week for every week I was here--and even did acupuncture during that first appointment! Jen talked me through the whole process while she inserted the needles, which felt like tiny pricks each time (honestly not so bad!). She explained which pressure points corresponded to what area of the body. From the very first appointment, I continued to feel better and experienced less frequency of migraines. Now, with 2 treatments left (I have finished 9 treatments from writing this post), I have no migraines, vertigo, nausea, or jaw pain. Jen, you have CHANGED my life. She even found me another acupuncturist to visit where I currently live. Thank you so much for everything!! I am definitely coming back whenever I visit Hawaii.
