  • Shoulder and ankle pain

    Prior to Dr. Chen @ Carnival I have tried acupuncture a few times to relieve shoulder and ankle pain. Also I have experience with cupping. I am very impressed with the results. I love that he learned his skill through his parents. He is very skilled with his profession.

    I experienced two sessions with him on the cruise. I felt immediate relief with the first visit. I scheduled a second visit to get me to the next level. I have never been disappointed with any treatments. It is a great non-evasive, successful treatment option. (David)

  • Neck and shoulder pain

    I visited Dr. Chen 6 times for treatment of severe right neck and shoulder pain that went down my arm to an old surgical site. I am right-handed and wasn’t able to use my right hand.

    I almost went home, but after talking to Dr. Chen and having 6 treatments I was comfortable enough to enjoy the cruise on this wonderful ship- the Norwegian Breakaway.

    In my opinion, he is a jewel in the NCL crown.

  • Back, shoulder and foot pain

    I have arthritis and metastatic bone cancer. Before my cruise, I was dealing with shoulder and hip pain as well as pain in the joints of my right foot/toes. I went to the spa to check out the menu of services on the first day of my cruise. And decided to try acupuncture, I wanted to enjoy the ports of call without pain in my hip, shoulder and foot. 

    My first treatment with Dr. Chen was amazing! I left the spa with no pain in my hip, shoulder, and foot. I was able to enjoy two ports of call (and all the walking involved) with no pain. During my second appointment, Dr. Chen also addressed edema in my feet and ankles. By morning, my feet and ankle had no swelling. I look forward to my third appointment before my cruise is over.

    Six or seven from my group also saw Dr. Chen. One for sea sickness. All experienced outstanding results. Highly recommend Dr. Chen.
