True Health Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

I am a triathlete and when I began training almost 3 years ago I developed a burning and shooting pain along both of my thighs. I was a skeptic about acupuncture, but Ginger fixed it in only 3 sessions! I have never had that problem again and now when I get any pains, or something feels off I get in right away!

Ginger is the best in this business. My daughter has hip/​back and joint pain. We decided to try acupuncture and through word of mouth went to see Ginger. That was one of the best decisions we made. Ginger knew exactly what to do and where to do it. My daughter leaves Ginger’s office feeling so wonderful, no pain. Thank you Ginger, you definitely have the skills, a gift and we are grateful.

I have suffered from pain in my left wrist for about 7 years. It’s not a severe pain, but things like going to the gym and lifting certain things were always a discomfort. My girlfriend suggested I try acupuncture out, and admittedly I was skeptical at first, but I thought I had nothing to lose so why not. I went here for one acupuncture session and to my surprise, when I woke up the next day, the pain in my wrist was completely gone. I have gone to the gym numerous times since the session and there is no pain or discomfort. I am truly amazed and very pleased with the results and would recommend this place to anyone with joint pain.

I have been working with Ginger for over a year now and I thank my lucky stars that I found her. When I started working with Ginger I lived with ⁹⁄₁₀ chronic back pain from an accident. She was so caring and made me feel so comfortable. She helped me manage my pain even offering other ideas such as essential oils to help me with my pain. I am now living with minimal pain and continue to see Ginger on a regular to help manage my back pain as well as my stress level. I highly recommend Ginger and True Health Acupuncture to anyone who is looking for a more holistic way to help them with a health concern.

I’ve had acupuncture treatments from multiple acupuncturists, and Ginger is outstanding. First, she’s easy to talk to and in doing so, she discovers connections between the symptoms I complain about and the small details I share, which I don’t think much about. I appreciate that she looks at my all around health rather than just treating my symptoms. She has a great understanding of Chinese Medicine, and it’s easy to see she’s passionate about what she does. My acupuncture treatments have included back pain, shoulder and neck pain, anxiety, depression, stress, and more. True Health Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine is definitely worth a try.

This. IS. INSANE. I never ever ever thought acupuncture would work, and I was never a firm believer… until today (yes, I know this sounds cheesy, but let me explain). I recently went to Coachella where I was dancing around, banging my head, and suffering the awful wind storms that blew debris and god-​knows-​what into my ear canals. From that, my boyfriend and I experienced an awful case of Vertigo. I felt nauseas all week… could barely walk and function at work. I thought it would never go away. I tried everything — pain killers, lots of sleep, fluids, you name it.
When I saw Ginger, she placed acupuncture needles in just 4 spots and told me to sit and relax for a while. «Well, this is weird, how are these 4 little needles supposed to work?» I thought. But after 15 minutes, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of calm. Within a few hours, my vertigo was completely gone. I definitely plan on going back once I get a chance, she is amazing. She’s very knowledgeable about what she does and makes sure that she tells you the effects of what she is doing and why she is doing it. She’s very informative, and easy to talk to. I can’t wait until I can come back.

I have suffered for years from severe pain in my head, neck and shoulders from several accidents involving jumping horses. At times I can barely move my head, and the pain I get in my head from a pinched occipital nerve can be excruciating. I have had wonderful results from Gingers treatments. The relief is almost instant and improvement continues for several hours, followed by weeks of relief. She is a superior practitioner, confident and caring and professional. I recommend her to everyone.
If you have never tried acupuncture she is a great choice! You will become a believer too!

I am so glad I came to Ginger for treatment. I was having facial pain that couldn’t be helped or explained by several doctors. After suffering for months from debilitating pain, I luckily came across Ginger’s contact information. I didn’t see results with previous acupuncture treatments, but with Ginger’s acupuncture practices in combination with her dietary advice, I am finally almost 100 percent healed! I had seen so many specialists and doctors before who did nothing but prescribe me pain pills, but it was Ginger who helped me recover, med free She is fantastic, has a great attitude, personality and is very knowledgeable. She is able to explain her practices in both western and eastern medicine terms. I have learned and gained so much from Ginger and hope others discover what a great resource she is.

I decided to try acupuncture after two months of physical therapy for patellar tendonitis. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was in constant pain and willing to try anything to alleviate it.
One session with Ginger and I was pain-​free walking out the door. After a few follow up sessions, I was able to return to working out 5 to 6 times a week. I’m still modifying some of my workouts but I feel that acupuncture sessions with Ginger have greatly helped to accelerate my healing.
I researched many acupuncturists in SD and selected Ginger because of her educational background. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. I highly recommend her services.

My son has suffered from stuttering for all of his speaking life, he is 17.
Because of this he is very reluctant to speak in class and has not had the confidence to really try to talk to girls. Stuttering is something that has been with him every hour of every day for 15 years. I took him to True Health just to try something different. He emerged relaxed as a wet noodle and said he felt great.
We went home and talked some, and no kidding, he says the acupuncture shifted his sense of hearing and experience of his inner ear.
And, his stuttering is gone, by about 85%. I am not kidding, and have tears in my eyes as I write this. Yes we will take more treatments, and he is now upstairs doing tongue twisters.
I am astonished and thrilled.
Thank you Ginger Martin.

If I could igive Ginger 6 stars I would!
Ginger did a great job in making me feel so relaxed and comforted while I was in her studio in Pacific Beach. What sets Ginger apart from others I have seen is that you can tell she really loves what she does. She asks a lof of questions and gets down to the root of the problem. I would totally recommend her services to anyone who has a lingering problem and wants to take care of it in a pain free environment.
Thanks Ginger!!!

After a particularly intense karate workout I was experiencing some pain in the arch/​heels of my left foot. As this was my first experience with acupuncture, Ginger was extremely gentle, patient, and friendly, making sure to explain each part of the process as she went along, allowing me to fully relax and experience the benefit of the process. With almost immediate results, the pain that had lasted weeks and weeks had finally subsided and was long gone for good! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs or has never experienced the blessings of her healing alternative medicine.

I am truly impressed with the professionalism and nurturing energy of True Health Acupuncture. Ginger is an excellent acupuncturist and I highly recommend her.

My son was having some tendinitis in his pitching elbow. It has just started and after talking with him we decided it was mostly due to stiffness. Ginger was very helpful. He had never had acupuncture before and was a little apprehensive. She put him completely at-​ease during the treatment and even gave us some herbal treatment to apply throughout the week. Over the next few days his elbow didn’t get better but that was because we were applying the herbs wrong. Ginger gave us another suggestion which helped right away. He was treated on Saturday and by the following weekend his elbow was no longer sore, even after going through an entire week of baseball tryouts.
Thank you Ginger for your help. I would definitely visit here again whenever I have the need.

About a year ago, I hurt my food pretty badly. the the point where I was unable to walk across the room. Ginger graciously made several house calls and treated me with a custom, tailored mixture of herbs. Her bedside manor was nothing short of amazing and within 3 treatments over three days, I was (barely) mobile again.
I can’t say that I know how much the treatment helped, as I don’t hurt myself very often, I feel like the healing process was accelerated. I will definitely call upon Ginger again if needed.

I am glad to see that Ginger has gotten her info on here. As a professional athlete, getting body work done is essential to performance. Acupuncture is powerful medicine and using someone that is highly skilled at, it is essential. Ginger is fantastic at her work and will make anyone feel at ease! You will not find anyone better for complete success for anything that causes you pain. I have had plenty of experiance of using others in this field… trust me when i say «fantastic’! Tell her Scott sent you! Thank you Ginger!
