I 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.

During the source of my session, Martina was able to incorporate additional treatment for overactive bladder and constipation. When I developed an upper respiratory infection she also treated that.
I feel better than I have in years. My sciatica is practically non- existent. Overactive bladder is much improved (I can sleep all night) and constipation is resolved.
I started a detox program in conjunction with the acupuncture and I am pleased with the results this far. I am looking forward to using herbs and continuing my program at home.
Thanks!
PS. As an allopathic practitioner – must admit, I was skeptical at first – now I am a believer!

Read MoreI thought that my sciatica flare-up would literally ruin my trip! I had extreme pain in my left leg. I was so lucky to find acupuncture right here on the ship. In just a few days my pain had been reduced significantly! I was able to enjoy the cruise of a lifetime.
Thank you!
