Read MoreIn the first 70 year of my life I was in constant pain from my back. A chiropractor recommended a surgeon in Miami. Two surgeries I was still in pain.
On the Crown Princess to Hawaii. After 20 treatments my pain is considerably reduced and I feel with further treatments I will reduce the pain to where it is manageable.
Thanks, you, Dr. Martina Sturm

Read MoreI fell before this trip and hurt my back and side. The treatments I received help me to enjoy this trip without so much pain.
Plus, she worked on my colitis and diverticulitis. I feel a lot better than as when I came on board.

Read MoreWhen we first boarded the Crown Princess in Los Angeles my legs were in so much pain that simple standing and walking was almost unbearable. The first day at sea, I saw and advertisement regarding acupuncture and wondered if that could be a solution for my pain/ after consultation I decided to give it a try and that was one of the best decisions I’ve made. After my first treatment I could see some results. At the end of my designed treatment plan I am virtually pain free. Even ailments that were not specifically treated have shown improvement.
I recommend acupuncture for pain treatment.

Read MoreI had acupuncture for sciatica from disc herniations about 20 years ago as little else was helping CPT, exercise , yoga and I refused to take OTC or RX medications to control the pain. As a health care professional, I was aware of the applications for acupuncture in China as anesthesia for heart surgery, brain surgery, birthing etc.. and was willing to try a “complementary medicine” approach to resolve my periodic but severe low back pain and sciatica. For about two-month prior to this cruise, I had been experiencing severe low back pain and sciatica.
Read MoreWhilst the tingling in my hands and feet have eased at times the main improvement has been to my right leg. Over the recent years it has got thinner and less mobile and my balance was not so good. I had to be careful how I walked to avoid tripping up. My Doctor said that it was unlikely that they could cure it and that I would have to live with it. Since the acupuncture sessions I have seen a vast improvement in my right leg! I can walk OK without the fear of tripping and can even jog and run, something I avoided previously. Walking or jogging up and down stairs landing on my right leg is not a problem and the occasional limp I had seems to have disappeared. It is my intention to continue with this in the UK and discuss ways forward with my doctor.
