Acupuncture in Honolulu

Honolulu has the highest concentration of licensed acupuncturists in Hawaiʻi. Most practice from clinic offices in Kakaʻako, Mānoa, Kaimukī, and downtown — with a smaller cluster of resort-adjacent practitioners working near Waikīkī. The community spans full Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practices, sports and orthopedic acupuncture, fertility-focused clinics, and integrative offices that work alongside primary care.

All acupuncturists practicing in Hawaiʻi are licensed through the state board (L.Ac. credential). A typical first session runs 60 to 90 minutes and includes a detailed intake — pulse and tongue diagnosis, health history, and treatment plan. Subsequent sessions are usually 45 to 60 minutes. Cash rates in Honolulu range from $90 to $180 per session; many clinics accept HMSA, UHA, and HMAA, and some bill auto and workers' comp directly.

If you're seeking herbal support alongside treatment, look for practitioners listed under TCM or herbalism — most Honolulu acupuncturists trained in TCM dispense formula prescriptions in-house. Many clinics also offer massage or bodywork alongside acupuncture sessions.
