About Dr. Martina

‚ÄçDr. Martina Sturm is one of a handful of practitioners in the US who have earned a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (DACM). She received her doctorate degree from Pacific College of Health and Science's professional doctorate program which is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). During her doctoral work, Dr. Martina specialized in Integrative Oncology.

With her passion for science and natural medicine, Dr. Martina continued her post-doctoral work in functional medicine at Functional Medicine University and at the School of Applied Functional Medicine. She also completed a residency with an MD specialized in both Internal and Integrative Medicine.

Dr. Martina uses an integrative approach: a fusion of Eastern (TCM) and Western-based functional medicine that enable her to determine the root cause of illness via the most comprehensive, time-tested, and advanced diagnostic tools. Both TCM and functional medicine are holistic and understand that the underlying cause of dis-ease stems from various biochemical and nutritional imbalances in the body. These underlying imbalances, not merely the symptoms, are addressed with an individually tailored treatment plan to facilitate the body's healing process. She may use diet, nutraceuticals, lifestyle changes, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and various other adjunct therapies to support the healing process in the most effective and least invasive way possible.
