I have experienced chronic pain in my knees, lower back and shoulder]. After several visits to Dr. Norika where she applied accupuncture, laser and manual treatments there has been a significant improvement. The knee and back pain have diminished. The range of motion in my shoulder and my overall flexibility have increased markedly. In addition to her obvious technical expertise she has outstanding interpersonal skills. She is warm, caring and a very good listener. You can sense that she is committed to having a positive effect on her patients’ lives. I highly recommend Dr. Norika_

I was referred to Dr. Norika Kawai by my neurosurgeon. I have suffered from chronic back and hip pain for four years and have gone from doctors, to physical therapy trials, and chiropractic care with no relief from pain. Although I am at the beginning stages of my treatment with Dr Norika, I can say that I am feeling some relief At the onset. She is also helping me with sleep issues and better weight management. I found her caring, a good listener, empathetic and above all, well-trained and skilled in her profession. I am hopeful for the first time in a long time that she will be able to help me out of my chronic and debilitating pain.

This woman is amazing! I have had over 23 back surgeries after a burst fracture and honestly didn't think that I would ever feel normal again. After her treatment, I feel better than I have in a very very long time. I am so thankful. I would HIGHLY recommend. Thank you Dr!

She is so great and caring. She didn't rush and showed compassion, and while others doing this may hustle and act like they are doing voodoo, she really believe sin it and her efforts show because within a week, my sciatica went away. I took her advice and stretched properly. She is also extremely beautiful and young looking, healthy, petite and nice. If she wasn't my doctor, I'd want her for my wife or girlfriend. She dresses well also, very fashionable, and has the brains to back up her beauty.

I was referred to Doc Norika after dealing with a lot of pain and agony and trying to deal with our normal medical system.

I am an ex equestrian athlete that got hurt many times during my quest to make the US Olympic team, I didn’t make the team but qualified to try out in Gladstone NJ and was the youngest ever to qualify at age 17. I went to a Dr. about 8 years ago and he told me that I may need meniscus surgery if the pain gets too bad, He asked me what sport I played in school and he told me that’s typical in my sport but there is a long recovery period.

Life went on and after marriage children and career, I had a massive coronary and a major surgery at age 60. It took me over 6 months to semi recover and I felt lousy, then I met with Doc Norika.

After 3 months of her treatment of acupuncture, pain management and her shots of B-12 and natural meds, as well as her dietary guidance, I am a different man and feel 99% healed!! Her Eastern Medical skills have helped me become the new Ned and I really appreciate what she has done for me.

I would highly recommend Doc Norika for all of her skills and for anyone that has pain looking for an alternative before any type of surgery and her Nutritional Diet works for anyone looking to lose weight.

Dr. Norika was very helpful in making me understand my back pain. She went above and beyond with me showing me proper stretching and checking in on me that evening and next day to make sure I was not having any discomfort.

Dr Norika is hands down the best in the business. She really took a lot of time addressing my injury and administering the proper treatment: acupuncture, laser and massage. She was prompt and delivered what she promised. I never felt uncomfortable or remotely questioned her abilities. I will be a regular. Thank you for taking a lot of time and helping me. Highly recommended!!! 10 out of 10

She was very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. She may be difficult to schedule at times because she travels to treat professional athletes who live out of town.
