I must start by saying that I was a bit skeptical when a friend of mine suggested that I should try acupuncture to help with my silent reflux symptoms, for which modern medicine has helped to an extent but I was still constantly in a good deal of discomfort. Thats when I got introduced to A Touch of Ginger based on a recommendation, and after two months I can confidently say that I have seen a significant improvement in my symptoms thanks to my therapist Anjalee Patel. Her positive and attentive approach has made my acupuncture experience quite fun and something to look for and overall improved the quality of my life for which I am deeply thankful!

First time I knew Ginger is perfect match for me is after I spoke with on the phone for the first time. She cried with me. She helped get pregnant with herbal therapy and emotional support. She is wonderful. She also helped my daughter with herbs to treat colds very fast. I highly recommend treatments by Ginger. She is the best .

Never fails to amaze. Have been to A Touch Of Ginger multiple times & received acupuncture for back pains. Results speak for themselves, I feel refreshed & revitalized, back pain subsides and results are lasting. Great friendly staff, very knowledgeable & welcoming.

When I broke my wrist, Ginger provided acupuncture and herbs before surgery, during recovery and PT, and afterwards while I had pins in place. When everything was complete, my ortho surgeon told me I had experienced abundant healing. Thank you, Ms. Ginger!!

I am so grateful for the improvement in my quality of life since receiving acupuncture treatments at a Touch of Ginger. Ginger Michaels is an exceptional practitioner and caring healer. I have been to a few acupuncturists over the years for various golf injuries and she is far and away the best. If you care about your health, this is the place to go.

Until I started here a couple months ago, I had never been to an acupuncturist. Now I cant imagine what would have me stop. My experience has been loaded with wonderful personal progress in very caring hands.

This place is great! Everyone is so nice that I feel like I am talking to my friends. The herbs have really helped me with my digestion issues and discomfort. I have had the acupuncture with Patty and feel more relaxed, and it relieved my recent back pain. I am grateful to have found this place, it has definately been a blessing for me. I am so glad to have Ginger and Patty helping me, and I know that they will listen to me and help me. I was not so sure when I started, but now regret that I didnt start sooner. Love this place and recommend it!

Ginger and her whole team are amazing!! I was very scared about trying acupuncture, but Ginger made me completely at ease during the very first visit. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable about healing, she is so kind and friendly. I feel like I have found a new friend!! Trust me when I say I am not a fan of needles, but I actually look forward to treatments. I feel so much better after each treatment. I am so thankful to have found Ginger!! Andrea and Karen are so kind as well. If you are on the fence about trying acupuncture, trust me you will be in great hands with Ginger!! She deserves 10 stars!!!

Im lucky enough to have met Ginger 9 years ago. I can honestly say that she has had a huge impact on my life throughout those years. Her passion to help people radiates through her work. Ive have learned so much about what true health and healing are without the need for harmful prescription medications. Ive also referred many people to her for an array of issues and all of them were extremely grateful for care they received. If you are debating whether or not to give her a try, just do it! Youre life will be forever changed!

A BIG shout out to Michaela at A Touch Of Ginger! She exudes kindness and compassion, and her treatments are amazing!! I have suffered from chronic pain and chronic illness most of my adult life. It’s rare when I find people who can help get me back to a place of balance within my body, mind and soul. Michaela is one of those people! On multiple occasions, I have come in with a variety of complaints just to have them all melt away after the treatment, and some of my issues go away almost immediately! She is thorough, incredibly educated and a true healer. Anyone would be lucky to have this beautiful soul as their acupuncturist. I know I am!!

I had the most enjoyable experience at this establishment. I initially had fears about something so different and scary as acupuncture. Those fears were quickly ameliorated upon entering the soothing and calming front office. Ginger’s pleasant and warm personality also added to the comfortable experience. After receiving a quick history and benefits of Chinese medicine I was eager to receive treatment for my shoulder as well. I must tell you I didn’t believe anyone could fix my shoulder that I have had treatment and therapy on for years. Like magic my shoulder feels as strong as it did in my twenties. Need I say more?

Ginger is an incredible healer - using the tools of acupuncture and herbal medicine. There is not a health issue that I would not first take to her ... from MS to melanoma, and much in between, Ginger has shown me how much stress has an impact on our lives. From a chance meeting at a health fair 9 years ago, Ginger has literally changed my life, for the better. Forever grateful.

Ginger is the most dedicated and compassionate practitioner in the Chicago surrounding area. Her level of patience is consistent with her faith in the long history of Chinese Medicines effectiveness when used consistently and with integrity. Her level of understanding is deep and vast. Ginger and her team will work with you over time and find creative solutions to your health needs. Could not offer a higher recommendation. If youre in search of a holistic health acupuncturist, know youll be in the best hands.

Ginger and her team are amazing! I have nothing but praises for her compassion and healing powers. I was a complete mess riddled with anxiety and she has worked her magic for sure. Thank you Ginger and your awesome staff. I am forever grateful.

Ginger is the best, an amazing healer. She has treated my family for several years now for many different issues. She is always helpful and really cares about the process. I am grateful to have found her.

I have to readily admit that I was a skeptic when I was encouraged to investigate acupuncture to address joint pain and numbness. I had not made progress with traditional medicine, so based on the glowing reviews and a recommendation from a friend, I decided to reach out to Ginger. All of the wonderful write-ups and positive comments are 100% correct. She is * genuinely * concerned about helping people, listens carefully to all aspects that might contribute to a successful wellness outcome, and uses her skillful acupuncture and herbal methods to achieve incredible results. For me personally I have seen amazing healing from years of pain, and have seen the elimination of the numbness that was preventing me from working effectively. I have also seen positive impact on dietary issues which had me on perpetual pills - thankfully, no longer! Ginger, you are an amazing person, and our whole family is profoundly grateful for your care!

I love this place! The ambience is calm and relaxing. Dr. McClintock is respectful of others and takes the necessary time to listen to you. In the past I had several health issues and within two weeks of accupuncture with Dr. McClintock, I began to see a positive shift in my energy levels and daily lifestyle. Im a true believer of traditional Chinese medicine. Its usually difficult to find a place that is knowledgeable with a well trained staff. I highly recommend this place and encourage you to see Dr. McClintock.

Ginger came highly recommended by a friend of mine, after I experienced tooth pain from two root canals. Before I even met Ginger she took time to correspond with me via email and answer my questions. She was extremely personable and thorough. My initial visit far exceeded my expectations. Ginger was easy to talk to, and took so much time listening to me explain about my health issues and previous treatments. She did not pass any judgement about medications I was taking or procedures I had done in the past. She immediately started me on herbal medicine and acupuncture and she performed cupping on me. I have slowly experienced improvements with my teeth, but unexpectedly my chronic migraines and headaches are almost nonexistent. She has helped me regulate my hormones and overall I am feeling better than I have in months. I have sought treatment for my migraines for years, and I have tried everything. Migraine relief was not an intended outcome from my visits with Ginger, but I can happily report I am not needing my regular medicine for them. I am so optimistic about continuing to work with Ginger to address all my future health needs. She truly cares about the people she treats, and her individual attention is far unlike anything I have ever experienced in the past. I feel so fortunate to make Ginger helping me become healthy and pain free.

I have visited Ginger three times so far and have had great experiences. I initially went in because after a year of having some shoulder/elbow pain that a general practitioner couldnt figure out, I decided to try acupuncture for the first time. Not only has my pain decreased, but I have felt better in general. I didnt have sleep problems, but since the first treatment, Ive never had such deep, fantastic sleep, and wake up feeling so much more refreshed than I did before! Ginger is also just so pleasant to talk to you and she has so much knowledge about health and well being. I am excited to continue seeing Ginger in my efforts to feel my best.

I would Say Ginger is a blessing to me :) I have chronic tension headache and did not believe that acupuncture would help, but it DID. I was able to feel better after her sessions along with herbs.Thanks to my husband he was the one who asked me to give it a try.I would definetly recommend her. She is very professional in her work and the most empathetic person that I have ever met. As mentioned earlier she is an angel :)

I started seeing Ginger in 2014 because I wanted to get my body ready for pregnancy. I became pregnant with twins within a few months of seeing Ginger regularly. She treated me with acupuncture throughout my entire pregnancy and I carried my babies for 38 weeks with no health issues whatsoever (despite being high risk because I was 35 and carrying twins). I continued to see Ginger regularly after the twins were born. About 15 months later I became pregnant again and continued to see Ginger for acupuncture and herbs throughout my second pregnancy. Again, I had no health issues while pregnant and I delivered a healthy baby girl at 41 weeks. I truly believe that Ginger had so much to do with my healthy pregnancies and I cannot say enough amazing things about her. Ginger is one of the most caring and compassionate human beings that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Gingers patients well-being is of the utmost importance to her and she will go to great lengths to make sure she is doing everything she can to benefit them. Ginger is also incredibly knowledgable when it comes to Chinese medicine and all that it entails. She is so passionate on the benefits of Eastern medicine and pours her heart and soul into each and every patient that is lucky enough to come into her office. I would recommend Ginger to anyone that is looking improve their mental/physical well-being, deal with an ailment, or just get their body into the best state that it can be in. Also, Gingers staff is so warm and welcoming as is her office. It is truly an amazing place to be. Through acupuncture, herbs, and all the rest that Chinese medicine has to offer, Ginger will make sure you can be your best self and I am so grateful that I found her.

Ginger is amazing. She has been treating my family for over five years. She has helped me through infertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. At the first sign of illness for anyone in my family, we go to A Touch of Ginger. Her formulas and treatments always get us back on track.

Ginger came into my life at the end of my second pregnancy. I was nearing my due date and my OB wanted to induce. I did not want to be induced. Through some google searching I found out that acupuncture can induce labor. I reached out to Ginger and she saw me the next day and continued to see me until I went into labor. She then followed with helping with our baby. She had a terrible spit up issues where gaining weight was an issue. She was at 0% on the weight charts at the pediatrician. I once again contacted Ginger and she didn’t hesitate to make some herbs for our baby. And just 2 doses later the spit up stopped. We sometimes had to adjust her herbs. But she finally started putting on weight. Ginger has now seen me both my daughters and husband. She now she’s my sister in law whom is pregnant and suffers fro extreme nausea throughout all 9 months of pregnancy. My sister in law tells me how much she loves Ginger and has made it possible to enjoy her pregnancy. I do believe Ginger sees her patients as family, and I thank her for that!

Ginger and her staff are exceedingly warm and knowledgeable, a cozy and clean facility. I couldn’t recommend them enough for the customized experience. No two visits are exactly the same as she customizes her treatments for your body. Just amazing.

Ginger was able to fit me in the day I called, and I am feeling better after just one visit. What a great place to get help healing!

My wife and I have been seeing Ginger for a couple years now. Shes even treated our daughter since she was a baby. Ginger has become an integral part of my entire familys wellbeing!

Ginger has been so gracious and giving in her time and energy. I came to her with worsening asthma and a handful of new prescriptions for it and I have not just found relief but healing! I remember getting off the acupuncture table abs saying: “I can take a deep breath!”Not only have I found so much help through herbal medicine and acupuncture, but she has adjusted to offering me care now from miles away. She has a sharp mind and a caring heart. She also has a deep knowledge of eastern medicine, which can be seen through her wholistic understanding of the human body and her ability to explain it. I have learned so much about myself and feel better equipped to take care of my body. What I appreciate most about Ginger and her method of medicine is that it addresses root causes to enable the body to function properly on its own. Ginger offers the farthest thing from slapping a bandaid on an issue.

After a serious sinus infection and having the flu, I was having a hard time hearing. I knew it was a significant loss because of the digit volume display on my tv, I had to more than double the volume. Doctors told me to wait it out and my hearing would return on its own. 2 weeks later I had no change. It was so bad it was affecting my job and I couldn’t hear people on the phone.I saw Ginger and in one session I could hear the furnace running in the room. Not because it kicked on, it was on the entire time I was there, I could just now hear it. The second session I could hear music in the room, which apparently was there the first time too and I never heard it. By the third, I could hear better then I could before I got sick and still can to this day!Thanks to A Touch of Ginger, I feel great and they will be my first stop for any future ailments! Thank you guys so much!

I know whenever I see Ginger I will be feeling so much better than before I arrive. From the moment you enter A Touch of Ginger you feel warm and comforted, and the treatment only accentuates these senses. Acupuncture, cupping, and herbal medicine all truly help to heal the body physically and emotionally. From aches and pains to depression and mood swings, there is no ailment too large (or small) for Ginger to relieve. I seriously cannot recommend Ginger enough.

I have seen ginger for over 7 years and drive a decent distance to see them. Ginger and her amazing staff are comforting, caring, and have stabilized my chronic sinus, asthma, and allergies more then I ever thought could be possible.

Ginger is helpful, attentive and genuinely interested in helping to improve her patients’ lives. Even the stubborn ones who make her job harder. Highly recommended!

We ❤️ A Touch of Ginger!Amazing care for myself & daughter. The first time my almost 1yr old became sick with a cold virus, Ginger was there to help. Day two on herbal meds and my daughter was already on the mend. Her symptoms were practically gone. Fever, congestion, runny nose, sleeping and eating all better. The cough lingered for just one more day. What a relief it was to be able to help my child. So grateful to have Ginger in our lives. Her level of care and healing is beyond!!!

There is not a more passionate provider in holistic and Chinese medicine than Ginger. She gives her heart and soul to her craft and her clients. I promise no one will take better care of you than Ginger! Absolutely a no brainer, go here first and you will never need to go anywhere else!

I started seeing Ginger in 2013 to prepare for fertility treatments. I was very impressed with the cleanliness and calm of her office. It was immediately apparent that she cared about helping her patients. I did get pregnant, with twins, at 50 years old. I truly believe that Gingers acupuncture treatments as well as Chinese herbs and moxabustion, contributed greatly to a healthy pregnancy and natural delivery. My husband and I continue to see Ginger for a variety of issues and she has helped us tremendously. Recently she has treated foot and knee issues for me and I am very grateful since I have to chase around 5 year olds. I feel very blessed that Ginger and her staff are a part of our lives!!!

I feel refreshed and recharged after getting poked all over with needles. Dont let that scare you! I would recommend acupuncture to anyone and everyone, no matter the severity of your condition(s). I was very skeptical at first and did not see instant changes. However, as one month went by then another and another my symptoms were slowly clearing up and I continued acupuncture and herbal treatments until they were not just managed but completely gone. I continue to go in order sustain and maintain my health. My condition was keeping me up constantly every night, it was awful and I saw no light at the end of the tunnel until I started acupuncture and herbs with Ginger. Each appointment she takes the time to listen to you tell her how you feel no matter how crazy you sound. Ginger is very knowledgeable about what is going on with your body, and is constantly learning more through seminars and speaking with other acupuncturists to better her treatment practices. She treats each and every one on a case by case basis, tailoring the treatment specific to you, how you feel each visit, what you tell her about how you feel, and what she sees and feels is appropriate. Before seeing Ginger, I tried todays traditional medicine and had no positive results or answers. I would go to the doctor and be in the waiting room longer than I saw the doctor and, I didnt feel listened to or cared about. Each and every visit to A Touch of Ginger is a pleasant experience and I am always looking forward to my appointments! Ginger provides excellent care and her and her staff are always on top of things!

Ginger changed my life! Not only is she incredibly intelligent, she is the most empathetic person I’ve ever met. She listens to everything and goes above and beyond for her patients! I can’t rave about her enough!!

Very good experience. Caring and friendly staff. The process was very well explained and the results were amazing.

Ginger’s techniques were effective and long lasting! I appreciate her enthusiasm for what she does for people. She works really hard to keep her clients happy and healthy- just look at her work hours! She’s dedicated to the health of the public! Thanks Ginger!

My 7 year old daughter and I have been seeing Ginger for a few months. What makes Ginger different than the traditional health care practitioners is that she really does care about the health of our bodies. I dont feel like Im another number or that Im getting rushed out the door. She asks very detailed questions to understand whats going on in our bodies, she adjusts her approach as needed based on how our bodies react to her treatment. I appreciate her genuine interest and her drive to help us improve our health. It really makes a difference to have a practitioner who is as invested in our health as we are!

I’ve been going to Ginger for almost a year now and I can’t say enough good things. She has ensured I had the healthiest and most comfortable pregnancy through her Acupuncture and herbal remedies. She is a miracle worker and I recommend her to just about everyone I know. She’s able to address a wide spectrum of your needs through her work, leaving you both physically and emotionally healthy/balanced.I will continue to go to Ginger after my baby is born as I truly believe she contributes to a healthier way of living. On top of her incredible skills, she’s also got the most amazing personality. One you will want to visit time and time again. Whether you need help getting pregnant, want to ensure a healthy pregnancy, have anxiety or physical ailments...Ginger is your miracle worker.

I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy in August 2018 and had acupuncture done at a chiropractors office. While I saw improvement, once I missed a few weekly appointments, the stiffness and paralysis came back. Ive only seen Ginger 5 times, but the improvement is drastic - and not just with the BP. I feel better all day and sleep better...Ginger is a magician at diagnosing issues! I highly recommend visiting Ginger for anything that ails you!

I finally have hope that my medical challenges will be addressed in a holistic caring manner. A dear friend has been encouraging me to give Ginger, herbs and acupuncture a try.My medication list is embarrassing for all my medical issues. I have many specialists. There is no communication between any of these health care professionals and the only answer I get is another medication!Due to my recent diagnosis of MS I have many symptoms. The most disturbing is memory loss and extreme fatigue. After a few weeks of working with Ginger I feel hope, have energy and am experiencing life again.Ginger is amazing- honest, professional, continues to learn more about her specialty, listens to what I have to say and is a delight to work with! She is approachable and accessible.I think we all can learn about healthy living from Ginger and her caring staff. I am learning about eating clean and feel absolutely no pressure from Ginger to do anything Im not comfortable with.I must admit I had to be sick and tired of being sick and tired before making a commitment to being open about Eastern medicine. I am a nurse, so admitting how closed minded I have been is hard. BUT- I cant argue with the positive improvements in my emotional and physical health!Thanks, Tina for your patience with my resisting another way of thinking and Ginger and her staff for being here for me.

Ginger is so compassionate and kind. She goes above and beyond. She is not just about accupuncture but has taught our family a lot about diet, nutrition, and overall self care.

I had a cyclical vomiting issue that would derail me for days. My doctors said all tests were normal and to eat more fiber. That did not fix it so I went to see Ginger. She was the only one who could cure me. I’m feeling so much better and I see her regularly for any problems I’m having ranging from allergies to a sore shoulder to anxiety. She is extremely caring and I recommend her to everyone I know!

I heard about Ginger from my massage therapist. She was wonderful. I saw improvements after my first visit, and look forward to moving forward with her.

When I was 12, I got super sick and developed chronic migraines, chronic insomnia, IBS, and had a couple other previous health issues. I had super painful, debilitating migraines basically everyday, which cause nausea, vomiting, light & sound sensitive, etc. After 3 years of going to numerous doctors, having tests done, and trying over 50 different medicines, I was completely hopeless that I would ever have permanent relief. As a last resort, I was recommended to see Ginger just to see if she could help. I was desperate so I was willing to try anything. After a couple weeks of seeing her twice a week, I had no nausea or vomiting with my migraines. After a while, they started decreasing then, after a couple months of getting acupuncture and taking her custom Chinese herbal formulas daily, I had no more migraines, just slight headaches. Now, I very rarely get a headache at all. After seeing her for over 4 years now, she’s cured my chronic migraines, IBS, helped my sleep insomnia, helped my allergies, fixed my menstrual cycle, etc. She has helped me in ways that no doctor or medicine was able to and I couldn’t be more grateful. Not to mention how passionate Ginger is about helping her clients be healthy and well. You can immediately tell that she absolutely loves what she does. She puts her heart and soul into it and I’m amazed at how she does it all. I’m truly a believer in Eastern Medicine and recommend Ginger to anyone and everyone.

I’m the biggest chicken in the world when it comes to needles and Ginger was super caring and understanding and really helped me deal with my fear. I can now say I look forward to my sessions with Ginger, she has a plethora of knowledge and is really helping me feel my greatest!! 😊

Thankful to have been referred to Ginger. I’ve had maistitis on and off and the herbs and acupuncture seems to have done the trick! It was a last resort try, and I totally wish I would have known to try it sooner! The herbs have helped my body come back into balance dealing with so many changes (and issuea) postpartum.Ginger has gone above and beyond to make it convenient as a new mom to get acupuncture and herbs. I felt so loved and cared for from the minute I walked in the office. Thank you all so much!! ❤️

I am astounded at the results I have gotten since seeing Ginger, I am a migraine sufferer and the length and frequency has improved and are almost completely gone! The office is so warm and friendly and Ginger cares so much for her patients and their health.

I have been seeing Ginger for a few years and she has helped me in several ways. I no longer take allergy medications nor sleeping pills. Ginger is a caring healer who will guide you to a healthier life. Her office staff is just as committed to wellness as she is.

Ginger and her staff are the most welcoming, loving, and hardworking people. They truly care about their patients and how they are progressing. I look forward to my treatments there.

I am now in my third year of seeing Ginger for chronic conditions of arthritis, fibromyalgia, and neuropathy. With acupuncture, cupping, and herbal supplements my pain is significantly relieved.Recently, I underwent full knee replacement of my right knee. I had pre- and post -operative acupuncture focusing on my knee. In addition to the skills of my surgeon, the home health care nurse and physical therapist were amazed at the quick return of strength, range of motion, resumption of mobility – all while having tolerable levels of pain. Compared to others with a similar procedure, recovery was expedited.In my opinion, Ginger is extremely gifted and customizes her therapeutic treatments to the needs and concerns of her patients.

My 8 yr old was having terrible mouth pain from his new palette expander from the orthodontist and Ginger was able to see him 2xs with just a few needles to relieve the pain. He was so nervous of acupuncture but Ginger was very patient. He is willing to do it again now seeing how much it helped! Ginger has also helped my 11 yr old who plays competitive soccer with aches & pains and digestion issues. She has been helping me with my back pain, mood, and digestion. She is excellent at taking care of her patients over all needs and is excellent with kids & adults! I highly recommend Ginger to anyone who is suffering from pain, discomfort, not feeling 100% or anyone who just wants to learn more about a different perspective of health. I am so grateful for her guidance so I do not need the muscle relaxers that were my original orthopedic doctors solution which were causing me terrible side effects. Finally my doctor said, go try acupuncture!

Ginger has not only solved my problems regarding allergies, digestive issues, stress headaches and skin issues, just recently she helped heal an angry, red, infected ear. Instead of treating this infection with the use of anti-biotics (with frightening possible side-effects), it was completely eliminated with Accupunture and Chinese Herbs. I cant speak highly enough of her character, compassion, knowledge and skill. The wonderful staff in her office, combined with Gingers commitment to her clients make A Touch of Ginger a much healthier me.

Ginger and her staff are professional, dedicated and compassionate. Ginger’s expert knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, along with her warm and comforting personality, make all the difference in her treatments.

Ginger really knows acupuncture and homeopathic remedies. I highly recommend her. She has a wonderful office environment -- peaceful and comfortable. If you arent quite sure if acupuncture is for you, stop by and learn from an expert.

I had chronic pain in my right side neck, shoulder and tri-cep. After doctor visits, pills, an MRI and 2 steroid shots, nothing worked. It took several visits, but the pain is now gone. At first I was skeptical, but now I know Ginger knows her stuff. Shes made a believer out of me!
