  • Arthritis Pain: No More Cane

    My knees and hips are riddled with osteoarthritis. I brought my cane on the cruise because I knew the walking would be too much. By day three, even with the cane, I was in tears from the swelling and stiffness. I was ready to stay in the cabin for the duration of the trip.

    Dr. Chen looked at my swollen knees and assured me he could help reduce the inflammation. He used a combination of needles and heat. The relief wasn’t just physical; it was emotional. To have the constant grinding pain stop was overwhelming.

    By the end of the cruise, I folded up my cane and put it in the closet. I walked off the ship at the final port without it. My friends back home won’t believe it when I tell them. Dr. Chen is a gifted healer who truly cares about his patients.(Margaret)

  • Arthritis in Hands

    My hands have been stiff and painful from arthritis for years, making it hard to hold a fork or button my shirt. The humidity sometimes makes it worse.

    Dr. Chen treated my hands and wrists with such care. By the end of the cruise, I had my grip strength back and the swelling was visibly reduced. I’m going home to look for an acupuncturist immediately, though I doubt I will find one as good as Dr. Chen. (Patricia)

  • Arthritis and back pain

    I have been living with back pain for years associated with arthritis. Dr. Chen did 3 treatments, and I can’t believe I am pain free at 74 years old.

    He was also very helpful on explaining how to stay pain free and if I need further treatments how to pick a good, certified doctor/acupuncturist. 

    Thank you again Dr. Chen.
