“I first contacted Paul Kobayashi about my back because he has a good reputation in my local area. I found him to be very patient, knowledgeable and understanding. Great Chiropractor!”

“Went in sceptical that nothing would happen, but can honestly say it realised so much tension and pain during one session. Very polite and informative also wasn’t judgemental on issues that doctors have been in the past. Will be visiting again.”
