Patient Experiences With Acupuncture, Pain Relief, Complex Symptoms, and Integrative Care

Featured

I’ve had so many health issues for so long and I've always got the same responses from doctors..."there's nothing wrong with you" "we don't know what's wrong with you" During the first conversation with Martina I knew I finally found someone who not only listened to me, but was going to address the root issues....and she did!

-Josh

There is not enough time and space to explain how WONDERFUL and knowledgeable Dr. Martina is! I cannot say enough on how she has changed my life for the better. I was on my death bed (literally, and recently) with a very serious and incurable auto-immune disease for a very long time, multi-layered and multi-varietal. I am still on my healing journey, and Martina has been absolutely pivotal for me. Seeing her every week gives me strength and energy and hope, even still in my progress. She is so caring, so intelligent, and really calming for me to see her weekly. She treats the whole person, which does miracles with commitment and positive outlook in a very desperate situation, such as mine. She is very transparent and upfront, and honest with how she can help the healing process. She is a miracle worker, through the hardwork that YOU, the patient, must put in to see results for a continuous amount of time. She outsources a wonderful team of network experts when needed in unique situations, a team of whom all who share the same passion and hardworking in naturopathy and holistic whole-health - healing very depressing and frustrating symptoms (which are slow, I can attest to, but absolutely apparent when you put in the work) and microbiome health. She is very understanding of all levels of financial restraints, and comes up with solutions and habits and treatments that work for each individual situation. I can personally attest to getting what you pay for - which says A LOT in this day and time. That is hard to find these days! There is no quick fix for someone like me, and a lot more people like me that share in this toxic environmental and health environment that we live in currently. I am so GRATEFUL, THANKFUL, and in such AWE at what Martina does for me and her patients and the utmost care and genuine treatments she believes in, and I cannot help but believe in myself - it's a miracle that I am alive today. Thanks to Dr. Martina. Continuing treatments and changing as I change, is pivotal in my mental and physical healing state. She is nothing short of amazing. Thank you Dr. Martina for your courage and passion in what you do! I will be forever grateful. You are one of a kind. I am lucky to have found you!

Working with Dr. Sturm was a refreshing and rewarding experience. If you are looking for personalized healthcare, professional ‘bedside manner’ and a thoughtful approach, Denver Sports & Holistic Medicine is the place.

The intake appointment was one of the best doctor’s appointments I have had in the 21 years I have had my condition. The resulting treatment plan changed my daily experience in a significantly positive manner. In working with countless doctors before, these results were not achieved. A few appoints with Dr. Sturm and I felt like a new person. It has been months later and I am still noticing positive differences.

The cost to value is right on and I truly wish I had started working with Dr. Sturm earlier.

I cannot recommend Dr. Martina Sturm highly enough. From my very first appointment, it was clear that she takes a truly different approach to healthcare. Dr. Sturm is exceptionally thorough, dedicating significant time to reviewing your complete health history and understanding every aspect of your concerns. She doesn't just glance at your chart or focus narrowly on symptoms — she genuinely listens to your story, asks thoughtful questions, and works to uncover the root causes behind the issues you're experiencing.

In my experience with many other medical providers, it often felt like they already had a treatment plan in mind before hearing the full picture. That is absolutely not the case with Dr. Sturm. She believes that care should be individualized, not one-size-fits-all, and she delivers on that belief every step of the way. Her personalized, root-cause-focused care has made a significant difference in my life.

Over just a few months under Dr. Sturm’s care, I’ve experienced better results than I had over years of seeing multiple other providers. Her attention to detail, compassionate approach, and deep commitment to truly helping her patients are unmatched.

If you are looking for a provider who listens carefully, thinks critically, and works with you to develop a customized plan for lasting results, Dr. Martina Sturm is the person you want in your corner. I am so grateful to have found her and am confident others will feel the same.

I've been working with Dr. Martina Sturm for holistic medicine for a while now, and I can't recommend her highly enough—5 stars! Her passion shines through as she focuses on my individual needs, tailoring mult-layered, effective plans. I continue seeing her for acupuncture, and each session is transformative. Her vast expertise impresses: knowledgeable in supplements, acupuncture, cupping, Armenian bonesetting, red light therapy, and more. She excels at explaining body systems and their interconnections, making complex ideas easy and empowering. A voracious lifelong learner with an encyclopedic brain, she's always up-to-date. She's a person of excellence and integrity, with a personable personality and outstanding bedside manner—warm, attentive, caring. For holistic care blending knowledge, varied experience and compassion, choose Dr. Sturm!

After just four treatments, I experienced great improvement in my carpal tunnel symptoms and significant pain relief in my left shoulder. The difference has been incredible!

-Bonnie

I’ve used acupuncture for several years to manage the pain and progression of my scleroderma. I was thrilled to learn I could continue treatment while cruising. It’s not easy to travel with chronic pain, but Dr. Sturm did an amazing job keeping me comfortable and supported even while I was away from my doctor at home.

-Janet

I was so happy and excited—my phantom pain was getting unbearable. After the second treatment, I had a 70–80% improvement, and after the third treatment, the pain completely subsided. It felt like a miracle—the burning and pain were totally gone. Martina also treated my knee pain, which disappeared as well. On one occasion, I had nausea, and within two hours of treatment, it was completely resolved. After completing 10 treatments, I can honestly say this is the first time in years that I am pain-free! Martina is incredibly skilled and professional.

-Cynthia

I was a little apprehensive about this type of treatment but after consultation with Martina I decided to try acupuncture I felt so good after the first treatment.

My headaches went away and my neck felt great. It even helped my back. I am extremely grateful to Martina. She took excellent care of me and made a believer of me.

-Eddie

The nerve pain in my feet was so intense, it would wake me up at night.

After just one acupuncture treatment, the pain was completely gone. I couldn’t believe the relief—it was incredible!

-Alisa

For the first 70 years of my life, I lived with constant back pain. A chiropractor referred me to a surgeon in Miami, and even after two surgeries, the pain persisted.

While traveling on the Crown Princess to Hawaii, I received 20 acupuncture treatments from Dr. Martina Sturm. My pain is now considerably reduced, and I truly believe that with continued treatment, it will become fully manageable.

Thank you, Dr. Sturm!

-Peter

Before this trip, I fell and injured my back and side. The treatments I received helped me enjoy the trip with much less pain.

In addition, Martina worked on my colitis and diverticulitis, and I feel significantly better now than when I first came on board.
