Dr. Chen’s Acupuncture Voyage‌

Category: Testimony

  • Motion sickness

    My entire life I’ve been plagued with motion sickness- car, air, train, boat and any other transportation method. My sickness was profound (lots of air sickness bags, patches, medications, etc), limiting my enjoyment of some activities.

    One session with Dr. Chen and Oh My! For the first time in my life, I could actually enjoy a boat ride. In fact, the experience was so novel, that my husband exclaimed, ”that’s a miracle”, and indeed it was.

    Dr. Chen is an artist. He taught me about acupuncture principles during my session- a kind, customer-centric, professional.

    I have never felt better. Thank you Dr. Chen. You not only walk on water, you walk on Perrier!

  • Knee and leg pain

    Before I started the acupuncture treatment, I was using a brace for my knee.

    After the first treatment, my knee and leg felt better.

    After the second treatment, I could tell a significant difference. The swelling in my leg had gone down and the pain was greatly reduced.

    I have now completed three treatments, and my leg is 90% improved from when I started the sessions.

  • Lumbar stenosis

    I was diagnosed with lumbar stenosis. While waiting for my spinal surgery no medications eliminated nor reduced the severe pain. 

    After just 1 session with Dr. Chen my pain was reduced by 80%. After 3 sessions my pain was reduced by 99%!

    I am a believer in acupuncture.

    Thank you Dr. Chen.

  • Lower back pain

    I’m a marine corps vet with numerous disabilities & getting a bit long in the tooth. I’ve spent a great deal of time- the last 2 decades in and out of the VA going through treatments and taking the medications given me. I’ve had acupuncture in the past but with no results.

    Dr. Chen is close to my son’s age. But his passion and knowledge about Chinese medicine & acupuncture is that of an ancient. My back is feeling the best its been since I left the Corps and his wisdom has convinced me & my wife to change our way of doing/living our daily health. I’d recommend him to all and hope to see him on our next cruise.

  • Severe nausea and motion sickness

    I have been on 12 cruises with carnival. 10 out of 12 times I have been sick with severe nausea and motion sickness, I started this cruise the same way until my husband met Dr. Chen and asked him if he could help me.

    With only one treatment, my motion sickness was gone. I was able to function again and enjoy the rest of my cruise. I wish I had known at the beginning. I would have done a few more treatments. I’ve asked doctors time and time again, what can I do for motion sickness and all I got was over the counter anti-nausea medications which did not work for me.

    Thanks to Dr. Chen, I will be cruising much more often.

  • Seasick and chronic migraines

    Dr. Chen was extremely helpful during a very turbulent time on the ship when I had severe sea sickness, I almost canceled my appointment with Dr. Chen due to how ill I was feeling at the time. I was strongly encouraged to come to see him anyway because of the help he could give me and that turned out to be so true.

    Within less than an hour. I was feeling so much better. Thanks to Dr. Chen’s treatment, and I haven’t been seasick at all since that first treatment. During the rest of my stay, I am planning to continue working with Dr. Chen to help with some other health issues such as chronic migraines. He has done two treatments so far, for migraines, I haven’t had one since!

    I plan to continue pursuing acupuncture when I go home. I only wish I could take Dr. Chen back to Michigan with me! Thank you, Dr. Chen is a gem for Carnival.

  • Lower back pain

    I would highly recommend acupuncture to everyone who has a medical condition with traditional western medicine has failed. As a retired registered nurse, who had back surgery in 2002, I have suffered with lower back pain a long time.

    Going to Dr. Chen’s seminar was very interesting and informative. Going for an individual consult was a good decision. Dr. Chen suggests a personalized treatment plan for each individual. I felt the information Dr. Chen provided, acupuncture may be a great alternative option to try. Dr. Chen is the kindest, caring person, his message is to give people a view of how eastern medicine treats a variety of medical conditions and associated pain with acupuncture and herbal supplements.

    In conclusion, my back is feeling much better, I appreciate all the time and counseling provided by Dr. Chen who is a very educated, personable and kind.

    Dr. Chen, I will never forget all you have taught me about eastern culture methods of balancing your body.

  • Balance the body

    Dr. Chen through 10 treatments in 5 days has brought me back to a new beginning, I feel alive and more balanced than ever before. Even though feeling better is the goal, it is more important to understand why and how to maintain is the key for success. Dr. Chen takes the time to teach you so that you cannot go backwards.

    Dr. Chen is one of the most knowledgeable doctors of acupuncture I have met and seen. His ability to help others and myself is the reason I will travel to find him for help. Carnival, as long as he is here I would definitely return.

    The spa has been my getaway on the ship, the staff has been gracious, accommodating and professional, but Dr. Chen leads the way to balancing the body.

    Everyone should learn more about eastern medicine, thank you to every one of you lovely person who took time to care for me.

  • Back and knee pain

    My husband had been having issues with back pain and sciatic nerve pain and numbness in his legs. We went on an excursion that had us sitting in a small, inflated tube going down a river for about 70-80 minutes.

    The next day he could hardly walk because his knee was so painful. he went in for treatment for his back and knee as he was unable to even walk.

    The next morning after the treatment, he had much less pain in knee and was able to get off the boat for our next trip at port. Without the treatment, he would have been stuck in bed instead of enjoying the cruise.

    Would recommend his services to anyone who wishes to actually get treated and not just given a bottle of pills which don’t fix you.

  • Sea Sickness

    I have experienced motion sickness my entire life-even riding in a car or on a bus. I love to cruise with my friends. I always come to a cruise prepared with patches, Bonine and Phenergan. On this cruise none of this worked. I even had to run out of dinner(but threw up before I get out of the dining room).

    Because my sister-in-law had a such successful visit with Dr. Chen for pain relief, I went to see him for sea sickness. I had been sick for 2 1/2 days with no relief using all of my meds.

    A one hour session with Dr. Chen cured all of my sea sickness. I walked out of the spa feeling so much better, and my color was also improved. He saved my vacation.

    I highly recommend Dr. Chen’s services. The cruise line should advertise his services for passengers suffering sea sickness.
