I have been so fortunate to have tried acupuncture on this cruise after nearly 6 month of ongoing muscle pain following a fall. I have bulging discs, stenosis, osteoarthritis everywhere – hips, knees, feet, back, neck, etc. I could rarely walk the first few days of the cruise. I had tried packing Aleve for a couple weeks but stopped due to high blood pressure and edema. Trying acupuncture turned my pain around and it is more manageable. I can walk almost normally. I get up from a chair more easily and sleep much better. I am very thankful for all the help, encouragement and information I have received from a very caring acupuncturist. It made my cruise more enjoyable and I look forward to continuing acupuncture after return home.

I am 81 years old and have lots of pain and the fluid is going away and the pain also. It has been a wonderful time on the cruise.

For very many years I have suffered from pain and swelling in my lower legs, ankles and feet. This is as a result of having no left knee-cap and walking with a limp and as a result of other sporting and accidental injuries. This problem is exacerbated by walking any distance, travel and dealing with stairs and uneven ground.

Having tried many methods of reducing the pain and inflammation I was persuaded to try acupuncture and was very skeptical about the idea (Nothing else worked.).

Although by no means cured, having had a full course of treatment I did feel immediate benefits. I have generally found walking a little easier and less painful and on some occasions, I was pain-free.

Martina has been instrumental in inspiring me to continue to make changes which will hopefully, produce major benefits to my overall health which in turn, should ameliorate the specific lower leg problem too.

I inquired about acupuncture on my cruise because my legs, ankles and feet were swollen and numb from extensive flying to get to my cruise, and I’m diabetic.

I found out that through My Blue Wellness Training with Blue Cross insurance that acupuncture helps with diabetes.

This acupuncture I have taken on my cruise has really helped and I’m feeling improved movement and feeling in my feet and toes.

I will continue acupuncture when I get home.

I boarded the Ruby with fluid in legs and thighs due to a long flight from Australia.

With the day excursions the ensuing pain in my hip and legs was unbearable.

After having several acupuncture treatments, which increased the natural flow of circulation, I was walking fluidly and in much less pain.

This treatment was used also with some follow-up Swedish massage.
