HONOLULU, HI — The chiropractic and medical community of Hawai‘i is mourning the sudden passing of Dr. Anapuni Coleman, a highly regarded chiropractor and owner of Nu‘uanu Chiropractic Clinic. Recognized as one of the top chiropractors in the state, Dr. Coleman dedicated more than two decades to providing compassionate care and healing to patients across Honolulu.
Born and raised in Honolulu, Dr. Coleman’s journey into chiropractic medicine was sparked as a teenager after sports-related injuries left him bedridden. An adjustment brought him immediate relief, inspiring him to pursue chiropractic care as his life’s calling. He went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in 1998 before returning home to Hawai‘i to begin his career.
Patients and colleagues alike remember Dr. Coleman for his gentle approach, professionalism, and deep commitment to improving the quality of life for those he served. Many say he treated patients not just as clients, but as family, making him a beloved figure in the health and wellness community.
His unexpected passing leaves a significant void in Honolulu’s medical community and in the lives of his family, friends, and countless patients. He is remembered not only as a skilled practitioner but also as a devoted father of four.
