I'm usually not one to leave reviews but I couldn't help but share how WONDERFUL Dr. Urban is! I really hurt my lower back on Thursday, to the point that it was painful to walk, sit, sneeze, sleep, anything and everything left me in 10/10 pain. I called him the very next day and he was able to fit me into his schedule and worked a miracle. By the time I was done, I could move like I was brand new... More

I called him the very next day and he was able to fit me into his schedule and worked a miracle. By the time I was done, I could move like I was brand new again! He got me feeling so much better that I was ready to play two softball games that Sunday! He is friendly, knowledgable, affordable and hands down the BEST! I have been to many chiropractors and he is my new fav!!! Thanks so much Dr. Urban!!! You are the best! Less
A true healer in every sense -- Dr. Urban is so caring and really listens...also quite gentle in his adjustments. I felt improvement in my first session and definitely feel more aligned after a few months of chiropractic treatment -- a complete blessing to have found him!
About a month ago, I came to see Dr. Urban due to lower back pain. I had difficulty walking and experienced tightness in my thighs and back. He advised me to take an X-ray and with a couple of adjustments to my Vertebrae 4, sacrum, and hip, I'm now back to 100%.

Dr. Urban is very kind, gentle and professional. Highly recommend him!
I am glad to have found Dr. Urban while being on Maui for 6 months. He had great reviews so that helped me find a good chiropractor. I need monthly maintenance while I am on island, and he also adjusts my collapsed metatarsals on my feet so I can keep hiking. Good, central location in Kahului. I recommend him for sure!
Dr. Urban is legit the answer to my prayers!! I was scheduled by my Kaiser doctor for a surgery due to having a pinch nerve on the back of my neck from sports.

Dr. Urban is legit the answer to my prayers!! I was scheduled by my Kaiser doctor for a surgery due to having a pinch nerve on the back of my neck from sports. I was looking for a second option online and came across Dr. Urban and boy I was so blessed because he adjusted my spine without surgery. I was told by my doctor, once you touch the disc on your spine, there would be another in a few years and onward, that’s why I searched for another option for my pinch nerve because I don’t want that. This is my honest review and I feel great after seeing Dr. Urban and I bet you will too!! Thank you Dr. Urban and thank you Lord for blessing him with this knowledge!!🤗 Less
Highly recommend Dr. Urban. I was experiencing really bad migraines and after getting an adjustment I felt instant relief. Best chiro in town.
Dr. Urban is wonderful! I have a spot in my back that flares up more often than I'd like and Dr. Urban's adjustments haves helped me so many times. He knows his stuff and I'm so grateful he is here on Maui.
Dr. Urban is really knowledgeable & very professional. He gathers all the information & history of your musculoskeletal issues, reviews a total spine x-ray, identifies where problems are present. Begins treatment for specific areas to begin to alleviate the problem(s). Highly recommend

The friendliest and most intelligent chiropractor I have ever been to. Easy to work with and modern equipment. Highly recommended.

Began seeing Dr. Urban 2 years ago, while still upcountry. I've been a competitive athlete my entire life, so have been using chiropractic since early 80's, kept me going and often was the difference in the ability to keep training and often just to exist! He used to spend time doing some point massage and pressure points and even using heating pads before adjustments. I now run a horse farm and cycle 120 miles /week, play a lot of competitive tennis and still run track. Work & play often take their toll. At one point 2 years ago, I came off my horse and hard a hard time even moving for 2 weeks. Found Dr. Urban through a referral and after 1st visit, was significantly improved, after 4 visits, was back to normal (for better or for worse). I've had numerous visits off and on as I've had different injuries. Always had decent results, but was always a bit put off about having to point out areas for him to check out and follow up on. Always felt he should have been a bit more proactive and thorough. For the last several visits I had to again remind him to take a look at it certain areas on my body and address specific pains rather than him being more proactive and finding ways to help me heal better. And the massage, pressure points and heating pads are long gone. And on a recent visit I was presented with some crazy conspiracy theory literature about the "dangers" of wearing a mask. The author is a known conspiracy theorist, and the attitude of a supposedly holistic focused chiropractor about wearing masks was a bit disappointing in shocking in general. But despite being super fit and athletic I am in my early 60s and a stroke survivor and have a heart condition so I was a bit surprised and disappointed. Won't be going back and will be looking for a more proactive and reality-based chiropractor. Less
Dr. Urban is the chiropractor you need to go see for an adjustment...seriously! If you're looking for a thorough and careful treatment of your spine, he's the one.

Dr. Urban is the chiropractor you need to go see for an adjustment...seriously! If you're looking for a thorough and careful treatment of your spine, he's the one. From your first initial visit, you'll already feel like you don't need to waste your time with anyone else. He has you get X-rays and reviews them with you, shows you on the spine models of what your spine is doing and what it's supposed to look like. I have been carrying this back pain for years thinking it just needs to get massaged out, but it never worked. I finally told my doctor about the back pain and he recommended chiropractic treatment for a month and referred me to a different doctor. From that first initial visit, I knew I had to find someone else. I had been watching YouTube videos and found a doctor using the Gonstead system which isn't just feeling your spine and cracking whatever. I knew I wanted to see a Doctor who uses the Gonstead system to properly treat your back and that's where I found Dr. Urban. He's the only one on island who practices the Gonstead system and has different types of "beds" to use to get the proper adjustment. On top of all of this, he's a really nice, personable guy. Go see him! Less

In summary: Shoulder issues related to dislocation, expert level diagnostic and treatment. Highly recommended for athletic people. I have struggled with a dislocated shoulder in my distant past for a long, long time. It has been better for years but a few days ago I tweaked it surfing and then the next day I lost most of my range of motion and it just felt like if I did anything wrong it would get worse. I searched every single place I could find and finally decided to try Dr. Urban first. I am a really active person and I don't like being forced out of the activities that I love doing and he was able to see me that day. I show up and he talks with me and used some interesting diagnostic tools and then he sent me to get x-rays of my spine - I ask him "should I get my shoulder too?" He said no and I was baffled but he is the doc. I go get the x-rays across the street and come back and he shows me on the x-ray how my spine was curved, or twisted slightly and he suspected this was causing my issue. Only after this extensive diagnostic did he begin to adjust me. I stood up and moved my shoulder around AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I felt like singing, instant improvement! He then tried adjusting my shoulder but that seemed to make it go back to how it was, which was shocking to me. I set up an appointment to see him the next day and he does the spine adjustment again and its like magic - instant relief and return of motion. This time he didn't mess with the shoulder and its been several hours and I can tell I am well on my way to recovery!! I plan on going back at least a few more times to make sure my spine is getting untwisted and I will be back in the water much sooner than I expected. Easy to recommend! Less

Dr. Urban is the best chiropractor I've ever been to. I've suffered with neck pain my whole life and lower back pain for many years. I've been to many of the standard twist and crack chiropractors who treat every patient the same. Dr. Urban is nothing like that. Not only is each patient unique, but each visit is unique too. He had me get x-rays before he even laid a hand on me, and explained exactly what he was going to do and why. He adjusts each vertebra individually and examines me again in between each one. In 2 visits, my lifelong neck pain was almost gone; in fact the problem wasn't even in my neck and he's the only person that's ever recognized that. My lower back pain was gone in 5 visits. His fees are very reasonable, and if you're able to pre-pay, there's even more of a discount. Highly recommend! I will never go to anyone else. Less
I woke up one morning with an incredible amount of pain in my lower back leaving me unable to leave the bed. A few sessions later and I'm finally able to get back to life. Dr. Urban's professionalism has made me a firm believer in chiropractic adjustment. I highly recommend Dr. Urban as a professional in the field.
I went to see Dr. Urban for a back and neck pain injury I had for 2 years. I followed through with his treatment plan and had major improvements. I will continue treatment for maintenance. Highly recommended!
I appreciate the xrays prior He is very knowledgeable, professional, easy to talk to but Most importantly he helped with pain I’ve had for months(sciatica and low back pain). Highly Recommended!!
This man is the bomb. I leave my appts feelin like a million bucks each time. Mahalo Dr Urban! 🤙🏼
I have an old back Injury that bothers me from time to time. Went to see Dr. Urban, gave me instant relief.
Dr. Urban is outstanding. My fiance and I had a long flight to Maui. Her back was really bothering her during the flight. Dr. Urban's clinic is close to the airport and he was able to see her on short notice. He identified her problem and gave her the the relief she needed to enjoy her vacation. Thank you, Dr. Urban! Brian and Olivia, St. Louis
I came to Maui on vacation and had a problem with my shoulder/neck flare up. Dr. Urban was very accommodating and really helped me out so I was able to enjoy the rest of my vacation. Would definitely recommend, A+ service.

I had been dealing with really bad heartburn and chest pain for about 3 months. I had been to the doctor and ruled out any heart problems or significant medical problems and was prescribed acid reducers that didn't seem to be helping my situation, in fact the pain was getting worse and radiating to my back. I had read that chiropractic treatments could help my pain and saw an ad for Dr. Urban so figured I would give it a shot. After 2 weeks and having 3 adjustments each week I felt a significant improvement in my pain. Dr. Urban is very thorough having started everything off with a spinal X-ray and having me detail what I was experiencing so he could best address my particular issue. My heartburn is gone and my back pain is very much improved. I wouldn't have initially thought that having my back adjusted would help heartburn, but it definitely did and I'm glad to have seen Dr. Urban. I would absolutely recommend him to others. Less

I have never witnessed such pain before. couple of times after a slight movement the the pain was so intense i thought i was going to black-out. Anyway, my co-worker set up an appt . for me (online no less) with Dr. Urban and he was able to take me the following day. Mind you i was very skeptical about chiropractors. I have never really believed in them. Dr. Urban had me take some xrays and found that my hip was slight more turned then the other. He quickly laid me on my side and gently adjusted my body to realign that hip. I immediately felt 1000 times better. He is also helping me to eat cleaner by logging down my food intake and review it with me. I am happy to report that i am bicycling about an 1hr everyday to & from work, walking as much as i can, and have sooooo much more energy and confidence. Dr. Urban is a great guy! Seeing him changed my life! Thanks you Dr. Urban!! Less

After months of pain, no sleep, and multiple visits to the medical doctor; my husband suggested I go to Dr. Urban. At this point I was desperate to try anything because this was affecting my daily routines. I had come in with chest pains, leg and arm pain, neck pain, numbness, and tingling. Dr. Urban knew exactly what was my problem. He set my sacrum and my upper back. I left with no chest pain, which was the pain that was affecting me the most! I have been going weekly for the past 3 weeks and it is so worth it. My body is slowly adjusting. I can sleep the entire night now and because of that I have so much energy! Thank you Dr. Urban! Less

I was experiencing upper, middle and lower back pain to the point that I couldn't sit or lie down comfortably and walking any distance was painful. I tried to push through it for weeks but the pain just got deeper. I was throbbing and numb and miserable. Then I found Dr. Urban. He located 3 spots that needed work and got busy. I had measurable relief during the first visit. Two weeks and a few more sessions later, my 65 year old body feels decades younger. I am swimming, walking an average of 3 miles a day, can sit down and sleep much better too. I appreciate Dr. Urban's Palmer School methods. He's hands on & uses ex-rays to get to the root of the problem. I've been to half a dozen chiropractors over the past 20 years and have learned to place my faith in the practical, traditional approaches. Just moved to Maui in October and was concerned that I might not find a Palmer trained chiropractor for my occasional back problems. I was glad to find Dr. Urban and would recommend him without reservation. Less

I sought Dr. Urban’s help after our recent move to Maui. I selected him because he is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic. I knew Palmer College to be legitimate and felt that not knowing any doctors on Maui this was the one thing I had to go by in choosing a doctor. However, having said that, I never realized the difference an individual doctor could make! Dr. Urban is the most professional, seriously caring Doctor of Chiropractic I have ever been to! He really studies your x-ray to determine how to proceed in adjusting what needs correcting. (And if you are rolling your eyes right now thinking you don’t need to spend the extra few dollars for an x-ray then think again! YOU NEED AN X-RAY!) I have been to several Chiropractors over the years, and I get it, they take an x-ray and nothing is ever mentioned to you about the outcome. The Chiropractor gives you the “general adjustment” (hips, back, neck), making the appropriate cracking noises leaving you feeling slightly better, but never really correcting anything long term. Dr. Urban is NOT this type of Chiropractor! There is NO “wham-bam-thank-you-maam” approach. If this is what you are receiving or have received in the past, you need have only have one visit with Dr. Urban to know to never allow yourself to be treated in that manner again! Dr. Urban reads your x-ray and goes over it with you so that you can understand it and see for yourself what’s wrong. He explains what his findings are and puts together a plan on how to correct it. Dr. Urban is head and shoulders above any Chiropractor I’ve ever been to. He genuinely cares about you and what he can do to help. How lucky are we to live in Paradise and then find such outstanding care to boot?! In my particular case, I had been on the losing side of a run-in with a large wave the previous year. Upon my return to Iowa, I explained to my previous Chiropractor what had happened. He never took an x-ray and proceeded to give me the “general adjustment” I described above. After moving here this year, I went to Dr. Urban and after viewing my x-ray he immediately asked if I’d had problems with my groin? Had I! I had been having problems standing after sitting for over a year! After reviewing my x-ray, Dr. Urban explained that my sacral was rotated (rotated!). He adjusted it and I haven’t had any problems since! He has also been working to correct my mid-back (this I attribute to being chained to a desk my entire work life), and he is working on old injuries to my neck that I never knew I had! I’ve had pressure in my neck all my life. I thought I was just always stressed out! Slowly, but surely Dr. Urban is putting me back together so that my husband and I can have the retirement we have always wanted. For this, I am grateful! Thank you Dr. Urban!!! Less

Dr. Urban changed my life. I initially made an appointment for my lower back. I do not have pain or an injury simply discomfort and tension in my lower back. Dr. Urban ordered an Xray through MDI which conveniently located across the street. Once I returned back to the office he already had my Xrays available. We reviewed the Xray together, it was incredibly interesting to view my own spine. He was able to adjust my lower back with ease. I am so impressed because this back issue has been with me for 9 years. I am 29 and have seen a Physical Therapist, Massage Therapist, Acupuncturist, and another Chiropractor over the years. None of which gave me relief for more than 48 hours. Now getting to the life changing part, my left knee has been hurting for almost 2 years. I get a sharp pain whenever my calf is flexed or knee is bent. I thought this was a tendon or ligament and assumed I injured it working out. Dr. Urban reviewed my knee and decided to adjust my mid back which miraculously relieved. The pain in my knee. It has been a week now and no pain. I've been to Spin Class, Barre Class, Zumba, and back to running. Life is good. Less
DR. Jim Urban is the best doctor in town! He is compassionate, friendly, professional and highly skilled therapist!

This past year I have been juggled back and forth between doctors, neurologists, taken all kinds of tests and scans, while being offered more medications than I can count for intense, debilitating headaches. The answers and medications I received were never meant to be a permanent fix. I reached out to the world of social media, and discovered Dr. James Urban as a Chiropractor who uses the "Gonstead" method of practice. I had never gone to see a chiropractor before, and had been reluctant to try, but after losing faith in the run-of-the-mill doctors, I visited him! My first visit left me feeling amazing, because for the first time in eight weeks my headaches disappeared! They returned about a week later, much softer, and only on one side of my head. After my second visit I forgot that I had even had those headaches because they went away completely! Today was my third visit, and I must say that Dr. Urban is one of the most professional doctors I have ever visited. He's very experienced, and has proven that his work is an art! Check out his website and don't be shy to give him a call! Less

I highly recommend Dr. Urban. He's a really nice guy, thoughtful of his patients long term well being, very informative on what going on, patient, and vested in the community. He's really mellow and easy to talk to, and be around. He's also highly athletic. Involved in Jiu Jitsu and various ocean sports, which I relate to. He asked me a lot of questions about my life, my past, and goals in order to get a sense of what exactly it was I needed from him. Long term health and wellness seems to be his objective, although I would definitely recommend him for just a adjustment or two as well, as I felt amazing positive transformations after my first visit. Initially I was referred To him by Sasha Kremer at the Community Acupuncture Clinic in Makawao Who is an amazing acupuncturist by the way. I had a pinched nerve in my shoulder from surfing. After my first visit with Dr. Urban he had me do a spinal X-ray which illuminated quite a few quirks in my spine and pelvis due to a life of not taking that good of care of my self. He was even able to ascertain and clear up other health issues I was having that I would have never imagined could be related to my alignment. We set up a plan and a schedule together, and over the proceeding two months or so positive changes occurred exactly how he said they would, where they would. My pops went away and things realigned, my overall health and happiness improved as I regained symmetry. You don't really know your body isn't operating properly if it always felt that way, and it was such a relief to feel better than I knew I could. I had no idea I was in that bad of shape. Dr.Urban has amazing body intuition as well. Prior to adjustments everyday, He would study my back, and be able to find these tiny spots of pain that I would have never been able to detect. Systematically they all got worked out. Overall, He's a great, patient, caring guy..Unfortunately I wasn't the best patient, I missed or came late to a few visits towards the end of our planned treatment schedule, but thats just because I felt absolutely amazing. I basically forgot I even needed to be there. I went from being physically useless to feeling better than I knew I could, in less time than He said it would take..So I have nothing but good things to say. Aloha Less

This amazing man has Healing Hands! Very thankful for his skill and gentle treatments that have made a BIG difference in my quality of life. Thank you Dr. Urban!
I was on vacation in Hawaii and needed an adjustment. Thankfully I found Dr. Urban who got me in right away and took the necessary time to give me instant relief. I was so pleased, I threatened to kidnap him back to the mainland. Maui is blessed to have Dr. James Urban!

I kid around with Dr. Urban that he's made me at least an inch taller in the past month and a half. Actually, there's some truth to it. I've had episodes where my lower back goes "out," for years - it's too embarrassing to say how long because I've always endured the pain until it passed, instead of going to a chiropractor. But my last episode in September, was so bad I could barely walk and my wife, Kit (who took care of me for three weeks) made me agree to see her chiropractor, Dr. Urban. After I started getting treatment with Dr. Urban, I've learned that my spine was misaligned in several areas and in fact, it was getting worse. I wasn't conscious of it, but I walked with a slumping posture to avoid the pain in my hips, but now I'm standing straight - my full 6-feet, 3-inches and no pain! Dr. Urban uses the Gonstead Methodology (look it up). He begins adjustments after looking at x-rays of your spine. I started to learn about the effects of subluxation on my nervous system (check that out too). My treatment began with 3 adjustments a week and now my visits are down to twice a month - my spine has restored much of its natural flexibility in 6-weeks. He also looks for improvements in your general well-being after each adjustment. Dr. Urban is just a cool guy, who knows what he's doing. And thankfully he's practicing here, on Maui! Aloha! Less

This "Midwestern boy" is honest as the day is long and you can absolutely trust him to give you the best chiropractic health care available! Thank you Dr. Urban we are so lucky to have you here on Maui!! Less

When I randomly walked into Alive and Well looking for lunch I did not expect to be given a complimentary spine scan and start a journey toward chiropractic health. Dr. James Urban was cautiously inquisitive and he respectfully presented me with options for treating the issues that the scan revealed. There was no pressure and his approach to treatment was much appreciated after a very serious beach related injury (don't turn your back on a wave). Dr. Urban is amazing! He cares about his patients. He helped me gain a new understanding of the importance of spinal health and how it affects other areas of the body. He is the BEST doctor I've ever worked with in general, and I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Urban to anyone who is in need of chiropractic services or just needs a consult. Less
He is an excellent Chiropractor. Whenever I am broken he puts me back together again and I am good to go. He is not like a regular M.D. He treats you like a friend. The really effective part is how he takes the time to get to know you and your particular ailments and works with you to help you work through to a solution. In Maui he is No Ka Oi.
