While conventional medicine focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Diamond Head Chiropractic emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons people come to our wellness center.
Did you know that chiropractic dates back to the time of Hippocrates? He believed that if the spine was misaligned, it greatly contributed to the health of an individual. The modern day school of chiropractic dates back to 1895, when Dr. Daniel Palmer adjusted a man that had lost his hearing 17 years prior.
At Diamond Head Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer. Currently, Dr. Jesse finds particularly effective for patients: Active Release Techniques (or ART), Graston Technique therapy, Kinesio Taping and custom foot orthotics.
Dr. Jesse was born on the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i in 1973 to mother Bette and father Richard Cracknell, who lived in Waimanalo at the time. After growing up between Hawai'i and San Diego, California, he graduated from high school on the island of Kaua'i and earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Asian Studies from the University of Hawai'i (U.H.) at Manoa on O'ahu.
Here are just some of the many health issues or conditions that may be relieved, reduced or managed through chiropractic care; one type or description may overlap with another. Each individual is unique and must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Chiropractic does not work like an anti-histamine as a direct, short term relief from allergies.

Dr. Jesse listened to my concerns (knee issue) and was also attentive to my daughter's concerns regarding my posture. He provided a thorough treatment of my joints ("popping" most of them) and the stiffened muscles, especially one in my left thigh that was extremely tight. He maintained a professional atmosphere throughout, but also slipped in some humor. At the end he provided helpful advice regarding stretching exercises I could do on my back, which would continue to protect against further posture issues. The fee scale for the first visit seemed reflective of the market. I have made an appointment

I'm a contractor, and I surf and golf for exercise. Dr. Jesse has helped me with everything from dislocated ribs, sacroiliac pain, locked up wrist and ankle joints, and stiff neck.
I have actually been seeing him for many years now, so this review is a long time in coming. Dr. Jesse really knows his profession, understands the human body and its muscles/ligaments, and is very skillful. His A.R.T. method is quite exceptional, basically he works the muscles that are causing the pain and keeping your body from healing. He run specials from time to time allowing you to buy a block of six

I came to Dr. Jesse with the severe back pain and chronic carpal tunnel. Dr. Jesse took detailed notes of all my complaints. From the first appointment I felt such a big relief. My energy level was up and productivity rate raised up. I highly recommend Dr. Jesse, if you have any issues with the back.

Great experience here! Came here after many years working with another chiropractor, so I was worried I was going to not quite get the same level of adjustments I need to keep me physically going for my job.
Dr. Cracknell definitely transitioned right into the job wonderfully and I leave feeling great after each visit.
Definitely recommend coming here if you’re in need of a great chiropractor who’s style is more assertive. I tried many over the years and some just were too gentle and I didn’t feel like much happened. I can definitely FEEL like something happened after these visits!

If you are looking for a Chiropractor then you should call Dr. Jesse. I flew in on vacation with severe neck pain from a pinched nerve. I called his office and they got me in the same day within a couple hours! This was my first visit with a Chiropractor and i couldn't be happier with his service. He's friendly, patient and really took the time to explain everything to me as well as getting me feeling better. I do not give many reviews but i felt his service deserved one. I would give more stars if I could - Thank you Dr. Jesse!

I showed up in extreme pain. I knew that I had hurt my back real bad. Everyone was so kind and so nice and they were able to get me in right away. He was able to help me and give me tips on what to do to help fix my back. They didn’t mind that I was out of state. I would highly recommend them if you are in need of a Chiropractor!!!!

Diamond Head Chiropractic, they definitely have your back! Nice office, competitive pricing, convenient location, parking. Hannah is at the front desk and when she greats you, she’s sure to light up your day with a smile. Not only is she personable but she is also very knowledgeable. Dr Jesse is a sports and family chiropractor. He’s worked on professional NFL teams as well as many Ohana in our community. He is amazing at what he does, I would never go to another chiropractor! Dr J also does healing Energy and ART (active release technic) a type of deep tissue work. Dr Jesse has worked miracles

Knowledgeable practitioner that knows what he’s doing. Takes his time to go beyond standard adjustments to try and get at root sources. Very friendly and has authentic caring energy. My body is complicated with a chronic illness that dr. Cracknell helps keep stable so I can not only stay/get out of pain, but also keeps me functioning.

Possibly the best chiropractor in hawaii, maybe even the planet. Dr. Jesse and Hannah literally saved my vacation and i will be forever grateful! I've been dealing with back and neck issues from scoliosis, disc herniation and even a fractured vertebrae from a snowboarding accident. I've seen more than 20 chiros over the past 10 years and Dr. Jesse is the best. He's got a natural gift in the way he adjusts with his hands, and he even takes the time to be incredibly thorough! Usually chiros give you a 10 minute adjustment and pass you on to ice or electro therapy. But Dr. Jesse spent

Dr. Jesse is a true healer. Please go to him if you want results- pain relief, more mobility, and deeper self-awareness.
I did not know Dr. Jesse before my sessions so I'm a neutral party, and I am really shocked to see any negative reviews of him here. He is a very gifted and intuitive chiropractor. His work goes deep so it's not always comfortable, but you will feel SO much better afterward.

Dr. Jesse saved my career and I'm proved my overall physical health!
Long story short...I injured my back during training for a new career as a first responder. I was on the verge of quitting due to the pain and shocking sensation I would get when walking around. Someone recommended that I see Dr. Jesse, they had had amazing results being treated by him. The doctor I saw just gave me pills and suggested surgery, options that weren't viable for my current situation. Went to see Dr. Jesse with hopes of making my situation just a little better, so I could complete my training.

I've been coming here for several years and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of chiropractic or muscle work. Dr. Jesse always does excellent job. I injured my shoulder years ago and had never taken care of it before I came to Diamond Head Chiropractic. Thanks to Dr. Jesse I've had significant relief and no longer have any lingering pain. I have a high standard for chiropractic care because my father is one and I couldn't recommend this Diamond Head Chiropractic any higher.

I have been going to Jesse Cracknell for over 7 years and I can not say enough good things about him! I've been to several chiropractors on the mainland prior to moving here and I thought they were good until I met Jesse. I do have a problem of waiting until I'm in so much pain or can barely walk to go see Jesse so I'm always a wreck when I go in. Jesse does ART, active release technique before your adjustment which I've never had before. I don't know that anyone in pain likes to go to any doctor, but at least going to Jesse I know he can fix me. Jesse is extremely personable

Dr Jesse is an amazing chiropractic doctor. He is ART certified and specializes in working with athletes, but don't let that fool you, I would not think twice about sending my grandmother to him. He is professional, funny, listens and always achieves results. I see him on a regular basis due to the many hours I spend at my desk behind a computer. His treatments keep my body aligned and my neck and shoulders pain free. If you're looking for a great chiropractor who can make a difference with just one visit, I highly recommend Dr Jesse.

Yes, it is painful, but very worth it.
Exactly what I didn't know I needed.
Most Chiropractors just give you a few cracks and you are done.
Here they find the underlying problem, make you bend in weird ways, and feels all kinds of pain, but the a major problem will go away.
If you go somewhere else where they just crack it, it never addresses the reason why the pain keeps coming back.
I had a few problems with range of motion and they are already starting to resolve after one visit.

I am professional athlete and Dr. Jesse has gone out of his way numerous times to make sure I am at peak performance level. This is a game changer. That being said, if you have a low pain tolerance or a are super sensitive, this probably isn't the spot for you. Dr. Jesse will not just tell you what you want to hear, and it may or may not hurt like heck...but you will be better for it. This is recovery, healing and more than an adjustment.

I went to Dr Jesse's from 2006-2010. Early on his adjustment sessions lasted 20-30 minutes and I saw noticeable improvement. Eventually, I ended up having to wait 1 hour or more for sessions because he was so backed up. The tipping point was when my sessions only last 10 minutes and I all that waiting was for a minor adjustment that was not personable. I felt like I was getting whisked out of the adjustment room and extremely rushed. Sorry Dr Jesse but I cannot recommend you.

DONOT GO HERE!
If you want to have unbearable pain in areas that were perfectly fine before, then go.
I had a little arm problem and decided to try out chiropractic for the first time. I heard some pretty good reviews about him on yelp and decided to give it a shot. My first visit was so painful i almost cried. He said that i would need to come at least 4-5 times to treat the pain in my arm. For my half an hour session, he spent the first 20 mins cracking me in areas that i didn't have any pain in and kept trying to align my back. After the fourth visit, there was so much pain in my neck

So far so good! I have seen many experts in the field and had the fortune to be treated by a group who treat the Dallas Cowboys and these guys know their stuff, are in tuned with the body and can go strait to the root of your body mechanic problems.
Time is not a priority but your health and comfort is so if its your first time keep your day open. My visit was about 2.5 hours but i was prepared to wait and Dr. Jesse asked me if I was on a tight schedule as not to interfere with my schedule. I am a very timely and punctual person and would have been livid had I not know what to expect.

Last October (2011), I was hit by a car in a crosswalk as a pedestrian... (Yeah, ouch.)

Five stars for the actual treatment I received, but one star off for lack of punctuality.
TREATMENT - Awesome, amazing and effective! Much more thorough than "normal" chiropractic. Dr. Jesse uses ART and other body work techniques to work on the muscles, scar tissue and joints. Then, he gives chiropractic adjustments that rock!
PUNCTUALITY - Ok, I admit, I'm not the most punctual person (typically at least 10 minutes late to most things), but Jesse was SO busy and behind with his schedule (there were about 4 people waiting to see him AND the 2 that he was concurrently treating
