Posts tagged acupuncture for back pain

Having suffered for over 40 years with a back problem and recently gone through a particularly painful episode, I wondered what else could I try to help me.

I have tried many different types of treatment either prescribed by my GP or independently. some have helped to a degree.

Seeing acupuncture advertised on board at the Lotus Spa (Crown Princess) I decided to book a consultation.

Martina was very thorough asking questions and explained everything.

Singing on for a course of treatment (18 sessions) I was, I must admit skeptical about the outcome.

However, I can say in all honesty that acupuncture has helped, both my posture and mobility have improved so far.

I realize after 40 years there will be no quick fix but I have seen sufficient improvement to follow up when I am at home.

On the second night of our cruise to Alaska I suffered a muscle spasm in my back. I have suffered from muscle spasms for 20 years. They last about a week and are very painful. I decided to five acupuncture a try as I was going to be walking a lot on our tours. After my first treatment the pain had eased a lot and I was able to enjoy our next day in Juneau. It took several treatments but by the 4th day the pain and soreness had gone – much quicker than with the ray lamps I used at home.

Thank you, Martina, for enabling me to enjoy Alaskan Cruise with much less pain!
