Reviews related to Pain Management:

I've had the privilege of working with Martha for the past 6 months, and I can't express how grateful I am for the positive impact she's had on my health. Dealing with neuropathy and nerve complications from a spinal cord injury and surgery in 2020, my recovery plateaued in 2022. However, since starting acupuncture with Martha, I've witnessed positive progress in renewed nerve recovery.

Martha is not just an exceptional acupuncturist; she's an empathetic listener who is genuinely dedicated to helping her clients heal. Her personalized approach and expertise have made a significant difference in my well-being. I highly recommend Martha to anyone seeking not only acupuncture but a caring and knowledgeable professional committed to their patients' recovery journeys.

I am deeply grateful for Martha's expert guidance. She is a terrific practitioner with a calming clinic and I appreciate the balance she provides between medical expertise and her craft. Martha immediately and directly assessed my needs and although she's been working in a process-oriented fashion on a chronic spinal issue for me, within the first 2 months of working with her she relieved a secondary issue that may have otherwise necessitated surgery. I feel a hundred percent confident in her work and look forward to our sessions thanks to her kind and caring ways!

Martha has been treating my chronic hip pain for a couple of months and I'm seeing improvement for the first time ever. My pain is almost completely gone. I tell everyone I know about Martha and can't recommend her enough!

— Ceylan O.

I was referred to Martha and Autumn Dream clinic by my spine specialist, as I was having pain in my lower back and pain radiating down both of my legs after a car accident. I was grateful to receive 6 sessions from Martha, and after many different kinds of treatments (acupuncture, acupuncture with electrical stimulation, fire cupping, suction/pressure cupping), the radiating pain down my legs has been eliminated and my lower back feels better than it has in years. Many thanks to you and your wealth of knowledge and experience, Martha!!!

I have dealt with chronic pain and nerve issues for the past 5 years and started seeing Martha last year. She is an incredible physician. She is empathetic, kind, and deeply insightful. With her help I've been able to develop a kinder relationship with my body. She knows so many different techniques, from moxa, to cranial sacral therapy, to sports oriented acupuncture.

— Amber L.

I highly recommend Martha Jin at Autumn Dream Clinic. I found Martha Jin through a google search and struck gold! Using a combination of therapies (accupuncture, cupping and herbs) I have found relief from mid and upper back tension and general imbalance due to stress. She is patient and thorough during the intake process and each visit does a check-in to see what if anything has changed. After 3 weeks I am feeling better than I had in 6 months.

— Nancy P. 

Martha is a great acupuncturist. She has been able to help me improve my chronic pain. She is very patient and makes you feel safe and calm during the acupuncture treatment. She is very knowledgeable and gives you insights into how your body works and prescribes herbs to effect positive change. I highly recommend her to my family and friends.

— Victoria M.

If you're ever considering getting acupuncture or cupping look no further than Martha! She's one of the most caring and welcoming people I have ever met in my life. She has made her office such a safe and inviting place it is so hard not to feel at home. Martha is so knowledgeable in her craft and really focuses her efforts to treat the issues on hand. I came in for back pain after getting into a car accident a few months back and not only did she treat my back pain with acupuncture, cupping and gua sha but also gave me tips and recommendations to further help my pain. If you're hesitant about booking, I promise you won't regret it!

—Lana K.

I consider Martha to be one of the biggest blessings to enter my life in the past year. She has helped me with a myriad of wellbeing concerns, including taming previously debilitating anxiety and headaches. As an energetically sensitive person I also appreciate how wonderful her energy is, and how calm, light-filled and safe her entire practice feels. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a deep well of wisdom and modalities to pull from, and I love learning from her and exploring healing techniques. She also has a great sense of humor and is really fun to be around and just a cool person! If you are looking for a professional, multi-talented healer who truly cares, look no further- you've found her!

I have been living with neck and back pain for some time and decided to go to my regular doctor to see what I could do about it. I had developed a mass in my neck that x-rays showed to be noncancerous. I was advised to live with the pain as long as I could handle it since the only solution was surgery - I did not want to have surgery nor did I want to keep taking pain pills. My brother recommended that I try acupuncture as it helped him after an injury. I am new to acupuncture so I was not sure if I could be helped by it. After consulting with Martha it seemed to me that my type of condition was routine for her to treat. Now, after five of Martha's treatments, I am happy to say that most of the stiffness and much of the pain has gone away. Also, the mass has been reduced to about half the size and now I am looking forward to being pain free! Her treatments have been an amazing turnaround in my life since my regular doctor did not give me very good options.

I have heard it said that when you are healthy you have many dreams but when you are sick you only have one dream. I can definitely attest to this truth. Most debilitating for me are my mind melting migraines. Sometimes vomiting and nauseous from the pain for days to over a week. I have seen countless acupuncturists and Martha is the first one to tame the beast in my skull. What was most visceral for me is Martha's energy. She is quite modest but in truth her mother is a master martial artist and she has been trained in the arts from an early age. She lives her medicine and has spent a lifetime cultivating her vitality and investigating the truth of wellbeing. Go see her, life is too precious not to be enjoyed.

— Nova L.

Martha has helped me with chronic back and hip pain and is a very kind and sincere acupuncturist. I always feel a renewed sense of well being after my appointments and would recommend Martha to anyone seeking help thru acupuncture.

— Elizabeth S.

Martha rescued me from terrible nerve pain by using several different modalities. I had immediate relief from the pain after the first visit! I highly recommend her! She is knowledgeable, professional and kind.

— Julie T.

As an athlete on the UCSB track and field team, I came to Martha for a calf strain that wouldn't seem to improve. After a few sessions and some tips on how to manage my calf pain from home I am back to competing and have been able to run pain free for months! Truly 5 stars.

— Augustus M.

I had such a horrible pinched nerve that had persisted for a month and after two treatments at Autumn Dream Clinic with Martha, I was relieved of all of my pain. Martha’s expertise in acupuncture and skillful treatment practices will ensure that I return whenever I need effective and personalized care.

— Lauren C.

I came to Martha for pain management in my neck and upper back and also for help in stress management and anxiety. From our first encounter I was out at ease with her calming demeanor. She really listened to my concerns and we came up with a treatment plan tailored to me. I have been extremely happy with my results thus far. She is so knowledgeable in Chinese medicine and I continue to feel better each time I see her. I would highly recommend her if you are interested in trying acupuncture! Thank you Martha for all that you do!

— Erin C.

Martha is an excellent acupuncturist who has healed my lower back pain quickly and with very little discomfort. She knows the human body very well and can recommend many good ways that you can self care for yourself. I recommend her to anyone that requires a natural way to heal your body!

— Phil K.

I came to Martha with a lot of pain in my leg from an injury, she came up with a good plan to work the area and after 4 or 5 treatments I was feeling much better and on my way to recovery. She really knows what she is doing and is excellent. I know she was a big part of my recovery and getting out of pain. I would highly recommend her and will continue to go back to her in the future. Thank you so much.

I was unsure about going to acupuncture, but I heard such great things from friends about how it helped them. I recently got what they call "Trigger Finger" in my right thumb. It was very painful to write and I am right handed. I decided to seek out acupuncture since I had just spent a year in and out of doctors for a knee replacement surgery. I was still having problems with my knees and wanted to seek out more of a holistic avenue. I can't believe just as Martha said after 4 sessions I have no more "Trigger Finger" and no pain. So. I will continue with her to help with the pain in my knees. I am a firm believer. Also not to mention after each session I am so relaxed it literally feels like I just had a massage. I am so relaxed and pain free. I am so blessed I took a chance and tried something new. Thank you Martha!

I tried acupuncture as part of my postpartum recovery. I found Martha Jin's treatments so helpful, I continue to go for general health. Highly recommend it.

— Adrienne B.

It has been a blessing finding Martha and Autumn Dream Clinic. My anxiety had been slowly growing to an uncomfortable point. Martha is a gentle, easy to talk to, very caring and understanding person. I am in a different place right now feeling so much better! I highly recommend Martha!

— Christina P.

I have been a regular client of Martha’s for almost a year now. I came to her due to an allergic reaction I had that was exacerbated by deep stress. I was having daily hives that were incredibly uncomfortable. I had visited another practitioner many times with no results. Martha’s treatments and herbs along with her kindness and intuitive wisdom that is well beyond her years, have gotten me to a place of both greater body and emotional awareness as well as no longer suffering from daily discomfort. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking support and balance.

— Portia J.

I started seeing Martha for some anxiety and stomach issues. Within two weeks of seeing her my anxiety was completely manageable and most of my stomach troubles disappeared. I also saw her for some issues with my back and her services helped me tremendously! I would recommend Autumn Dream Clinic for any ailments both physical and mental, Martha is an incredibly skilled healer and has helped me in so many ways!! Would definitely recommend her to everyone 🥰❤️Yes

— Maren H.

I have had a fantastic experience with Dr. Martha. So much so, actually, that I've sent 2 family members to see her and she has really been able to help them as well. Not only has the treatment worked, but she is a very caring, patient doctor who listens intently to the issues and focuses on the whole picture. I think that's part of the success I've had with her.

— Jimmie A.

After just the first visit with Martha, my worrisome symptoms started to clear up. I had been having a variety of odd symptoms for quite some time that made no sense to me, but Martha completely understood what was happening. She’s clearly an expert in combining acupuncture with herbs to help the body heal. She’s also super kind and caring. I was new to acupuncture, and I’m so glad I found Martha because now I know I’m actually being cared for.

— Janice S.

Martha is one of a kind. She is the most compassionate and knowledgeable provider. She is fun, caring and truly attends to your needs. She went above and beyond for me when I most needed and made feel better immediately. I am forever grateful to Martha and her healing herbs. She is professional, wise and incredibly good at what she does.

— Margarida L.

I've been seeing Martha for close to 2 months for a myriad of issues and I am so glad that someone this knowledgeable and dedicated is available locally. She actually cares for your well being and has a diversity of methods to try and bring some relief. She is a wonderful therapist and I would readily refer folks to her.

— Tom R.

I greatly appreciate the nurturing and healing atmosphere of the Autumn Dream Clinic as well as Martha's expertise in both acupuncture and herbal health treatments. My day/week is always enhanced by a visit to the Autumn Dream Clinic.

— Sharon D.

I had the good fortune of receiving a CranioSacral session from Martha. Even though she is new to this particular modality, I found the experience to be profound, and palpably helpful to my whole nervous system. She has such a gentle and attuned touch, and the kind of patience and presence that lulled me into a deeply healing sense of timelessness. I was amazed by the silent tears that I wept for over 30 minutes, and walked away feeling much needed levels of catharsis and insight. I hope she will eventually weave this in with her Chinese Medicine offerings!

— Whitney A.

Autumn Dream clinic is a wonderful space to receive a healing treatment. Martha is an incredible practitioner who spends so much time and care with her Acupuncture treatments. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a compassionate and knowledge skilled practitioner! She also has Chinese herbs she can formulate for you which is a wonderful addition to a treatment.

— Mary M.

I recently started seeing Martha and have been very impressed with her skill and knowledge. I am an acupuncturist myself, so I have something to base it on. Gentle, kind, very tuned in to what you are needing and has a tool box full of options. You won't be sorry to trust Martha with you health.

— Carol H.

Martha is very knowledgeable on what she is doing. she spends time explaining what she is doing and how it will affect you. I had never been to an acupuncturist before I visited Martha. I was really amazed how in tune she is to your body and where the areas that need help and how to address them. I always feel she is genuinely trying to help you to be able to help yourself. I have improved every week I have gone, and I continue to learn every week what my body is trying to tell me.

— Barbara S.

Great atmosphere, very comfortable and Martha is extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Martha to anyone seeking relief or looking to improve their overall well-being. Her dedication to their patients and passion for acupuncture truly shine through.

— Matthew L.

Martha is a treasure, and I am so glad to have her as a go-to for any imbalance going on in my body. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and laughs easily, too. When I first went to her several months ago, in addition to what I told her, she asked if I was experiencing something else just from feeling my pulse, and it was spot on. The cranial sacral she does afterwards is a wonderfully relaxing and healing addition, and I love that she has the knowledge to customize the herbs to continue the healing after the treatment. I geek out on these things so love looking up each herb in the mix that she lists out on the receipt. A gifted healer, I highly recommend her!

— Anne C.

I feel so lucky/blessed to have found Martha. Not only does she have deep knowledge and wisdom, but she has the most graceful and calming energy. She has so many skills and the results speak for themselves. I wasn't sure if Martha would be able to help me, but each session I did with her revealed new proof that she was indeed guiding me into healing. I highly recommend Martha. I will be bringing my daughter and husband to her in the future.
