Dr. Aaron Dodson with his wife Shyla, son Koa, and daughter Selah

Dr. Dodson began his journey in healthcare as a personal trainer while studying human physiology at the University of Oregon. This built into becoming a strength and conditioning coach for multiple high school sports teams and eventually working as a physical therapy aide at a PT clinic. Wanting to learn more about the human body and how to help heal it, Dr. Dodson attended the University of Western States where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Human Biology and his Doctorate of Chiropractic.  Since then, he has combined all his experience and training into a unique therapeutic approach targeted for not only symptom relief, but for restoring function, improving health, and bolstering quality of life.  After working in a successful practice in Oregon for a number of years, Dr. Dodson and his wife desired to relocate to the Big Island for the outdoor, active lifestyle, to raise their son Koa and daughter Selah in the amazing community here and to be close to their grandparents who also call Hawaii home.  Dr. Dodson enjoys basketball, pickleball, paddleboarding, kayaking, sand volleyball, hiking, triathlon and being involved in Living Stones Church.  

”My family and I are grateful and honored to be here, and I am so excited to provide the greater Kona community with high-quality Chiropractic care.” 

Sincerely, Dr. Aaron Dodson

Dr. Chad Fujiyoshi

Dr. Chad Fujiyoshi, born and raised in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii, is passionate about giving back to and serving his community.He is a current Judo and Wrestling coach at Konawaena High School.

As a former collegiate wrestler and Judo black belt, much of his life has been focused around grappling sports.

When Dr. Fujiyoshi decided to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy, he took it one step further by completing an intensive post-grad orthopedic residency, which consisted of advanced screening techniques and advanced manual therapy techniques, including spinal adjustments and extremity adjustments.

Use of these advanced screening techniques has enabled him to find specific imbalances that lead to pain and dysfunction, which many other providers miss when they only adhere to basic screening protocols.

Dr. Fujiyoshi is known for finding and fixing many conditions much more quickly than is typically found with Physical Therapy. Not only is the exam more revealing as to what the true cause of the pain and dysfunction is, but via a variety of techniques not typically seen within the Physical Therapy profession, he can actually treat that cause more directly and efficiently.

One of these main techniques is the use of spinal and extremity adjustments that typically one would only receive from a Chiropractor, so he is able to immediately correct structural misalignments that impair proper range of motion, cause inflammation and compression upon the nervous system.

He utilizes traditional corrective exercise therapy, but compliments it with advanced techniques such as nerve glides, blood flow restriction therapy, and shockwave therapy.

Dr. Fujiyoshi is passionate about his career and takes great joy in seeing the amazing improvements in his patients’ health, function, and quality of life.
