    I mean it when I say Greta has changed my life. I work in medicine, have a toddler at home and am constantly stressed. My neck has been a mess for years, and after one treatment with Greta my neck unlocked. Every treatment has been so wonderful for my body and mind. I leave feeling relaxed in every way. She is so professional and kind. Mixing acupuncture and massage is the perfect marriage for this type of work. I can't recommend this practice enough.

    I broke my Tibia plateau and went to her for acupuncture treatment weekly then eventually biweekly until I became completely pain free. I didn't have to use pain pills at all during the long healing time thanks to her. when pain and swelling kicked up, I went to see her and got immediate relief. I absolutely recommend Greta for all your ailments! She is a miracle worker! She is so in tune with what's happening in your body and addresses it. She basically healed me!! Thank You!! 150% recommended!!

    Highly Recommend Greta! I honestly didn't think I'd be able to walk again without pain & a limp. I suffered for almost a year even after seeing a medical doctor, a podiatrist & physical therapist. And I've had acupuncture before with mixed results but not coupled with the sports medicine that Greta used. WOW! What a difference. I'm walking with no pain or limp. Thank You Greta!

    I had a pinched nerve in my neck. Could not twist my neck to look over my shoulder, my left arm would go numb, could not ride my motorcycle, could not go surfing, it was no fun. I had gone through PT with some improvement. My Dr recommended Accupuncture. I saw Greta for treatment, maybe 6 times. I had never been to an acupuncturist, and was very surprised that I did not feel the needles at all. She also treated my neck with an electrical stimulation and traction. At the end my neck felt 100% better and has continued to improve. So now I'm back to my hobbies with almost full range of motion and no pain.

    I twisted my ankle in October and suffered a hamstring problem leading to the SD Holiday Half Marathon in December. I was devastated because I had trained so hard for my PR so I decided to it a shot with Greta. Not only did she help alleviated the pains but also checked on my arch and hips to identify some muscle imbalance. Long story short, I PR'ed my half by 6 minutes and it was exactly what I planned for. The moment Greta scanned your muscles, she would know where the knots were and would talk to you to fix the root issues. I know acupuncture is not for everyone but my body response well with the treatment. I highly recommend Greta if you like acupuncture.

    She was very rude on the phone when I asked about price. Then wanted to include a massage when all I wanted was accupuncture. When I asked another question she said let me know if I can help you as she hung up, and it was a hang up not a mistake.

    I'm not going to lie, before going to Greta, I was skeptical of acupuncture. But after years of reoccurring shoulder injury, my options were coming down to surgery, cortisone shots, or acupuncture. Greta's work greatly exceeded my expectations. My shoulder is totally healed now. I weight lift frequently. There was about a year where I couldn't comfortably bench press the bar (45 lbs). Since then my strength not only returned, but it's increased (I can bench 225 lbs now). I totally attribute this to Goforth Acupuncture.

    I have Cervical Radiculopathy - which affects my left upper arm and is a pain that limited by computer usage, hobbies and motorcycle riding. Anything that requires me to look up or rotate by neck (like checking for traffic, paddling out, riding a bike) is uncomfortable causing my left arm to go numb and my neck to get sore and stiff. Enough so that I felt it was dangerous to ride since I could not check for traffic. I went though a series of PT which helped but the problem came back, was adviced to see Greta and I'm super glad I did. Never thought much about accupunture but it works and to my suprize there was no pain. Greta's office is very peaceful and relaxing. Greta is very calm and helpful. After a few sessions I was feeling better, after the series, I was able to Ride my bike for 1/2 hour without as much discomfort as well as my other hobbies. I still have some stiffness in the neck but its 90% gone. If you have any reservations dont worry. Greta's treatment helped me

    I finally found an acupuncturist who has a special interest/training in sports related injuries! As an athletic surfer in her mid 40s, recovery is so important. Greta is now my FIRST go-to practitioner. Recently i had a stubborn back strain for several weeks. After one session w Greta, i felt improvement and I was back surfing less than a week later. I really appreciate the option of text messaging for appointments, however maybe online scheduling would be easier too.
