Ginger graduated from the University of California at Davis with a Bachelors in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior and spent years working in research before searching for a way to apply her science and medicine background in a more direct way. She fell in love with Chinese medicine and began her own practice blending her strong science and western medicine background with the holistic approach of Chinese medicine.
Ginger holds a Master's Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (San Diego, Ca). The combination of Eastern and Western medical theory allows a greater understanding of patient complaints and an understanding of how to approach them in an integrated fashion.

Ginger Martin is a true healer and I swear she was born for this profession! Her compassion for others and gentle wit put you immediately at ease to share whatever is ailing you so she can target the right points to help you. Her setup is also extremely comforting and she has different options for different physical constraints; when I first went to Ginger with a BAD back problem and couldn't lay down, she hauled out her massage chair so I could be treated sitting up yet still comfortable. She's kind enough to go through the hassle of dealing with insurance companies but she's

I have referred Ginger to my brother who was against an Eastern medecine approach to his auto imine disease. After explaining to my brother that Ginger also had degrees in physiology and nuro-science he decided to give her a try. After a few weeks he says he is feeling better than he has in years. Thanks for helping my big brother Ginger. You are a life saver

This was my first time receiving acupuncture and Ginger made it an incredible experience. She's a true healer that takes the time to inform you of why she's doing certain things and I left feeling more knowledgeable of my condition and the practice of acupuncture. Ginger also gives you recommendations that you can do on your own to speed up the recovery process which really helped me. I went in with plantar fasciitis that I've been dealing with for months and within a couple sessions my pain was completely gone!
I highly recommend visiting Ginger and the True Health Acupuncture

I couldn't be happier with my experience at True Health Acupuncture. Ginger sat down with my and asked what was important to me and put together a plan to achieve that. This was my first time having acupuncture and didn't know what to expect but after I left began to feel better and better. I actually had a few moments through out my treatment where my third eye opened up, kind of similar to when I have had really deep mediations.
Ginger and the staff are so friendly and welcoming and I am so happy with the service.
Thank you.

True Health Accupuncture and Herbal Medicine offers some of the most passionate care I have EVER received. Upon walking in for the first time, I was asked a series of questions pertaining to my health so the accupuncturist could determine the best points to relieve my symptoms. I felt I was truly listened to and that my well-being was made a priority!
My accupuncturist, Melissa, is such a compassionate person, fully focused on the wellness of clients. I have never felt so genuinely cared for! While I was nervous during my first session, Melissa talked me through each step of the process and

Ms. Ginger and Ms Melissa are so professional I'm a truck driver and the deep tissue and acupuncture they do is so helpful to me and for the work I do. My insurance covers the cost so check with your health plan. But I so encourage for any one who wants to be interested in another way to maintain your health try try try them. Please know before couldn't raise my arms nor touch my toes now I can... My weight went down from 293 to 229 within 3 yrs. They also educate you with nutrition and allot of stretching exercises you do on your own. THE BESTEST

I was anticipating a variety of side effects from my cancer treatment five years ago. Ginger helped me with my fatigue, nausea, etc. and clearing out the toxins. The relaxation was a bonus!
Also, she assisted with my fertility treatments when I had to postpone motherhood. I'm so grateful for her spirit and humor.

I'm so thankful to have Ginger's skills to help my back. I had a massage that aggravated my sciatic nerve, and wasn't able to walk. Even weeks later I was still in so much pain, so I rang up Ginger. With her help and care my back is much improved. I know I wouldn't have made as much progress as I did without her knowledge & expertise. I didn't know what to think of acupuncture at first, but now I really believe it's one of the best ways to achieve true health!

I am a triathlete and when I began training almost 3 years ago I developed a burning and shooting pain along both of my thighs. I was a skeptic about acupuncture, but Ginger fixed it in only 3 sessions! I have never had that problem again and now when I get any pains, or something feels off I get in right away!

I have suffered from pain in my left wrist for about 7 years. It's not a severe pain, but things like going to the gym and lifting certain things were always a discomfort. My girlfriend suggested I try acupuncture out, and admittedly I was skeptical at first, but I thought I had nothing to lose so why not. I went here for one acupuncture session and to my surprise, when I woke up the next day, the pain in my wrist was completely gone. I have gone to the gym numerous times since the session and there is no pain or discomfort. I am truly amazed and very pleased with the results and would recommend

I have been working with Ginger for over a year now and I thank my lucky stars that I found her. When I started working with Ginger I lived with 9/10 chronic back pain from an accident. She was so caring and made me feel so comfortable. She helped me manage my pain even offering other ideas such as essential oils to help me with my pain. I am now living with minimal pain and continue to see Ginger on a regular to help manage my back pain as well as my stress level. I highly recommend Ginger and True Health Acupuncture to anyone who is looking for a more holistic way to help them with a health

This. IS. INSANE. I never ever ever thought acupuncture would work, and I was never a firm believer.... until today (yes, I know this sounds cheesy, but let me explain). I recently went to Coachella where I was dancing around, banging my head, and suffering the awful wind storms that blew debris and god-knows-what into my ear canals. From that, my boyfriend and I experienced an awful case of Vertigo. I felt nauseas all week... could barely walk and function at work. I thought it would never go away. I tried everything - pain killers, lots of sleep, fluids, you name it.

When I think of Ginger, I think miracle worker. Ginger possesses a vast knowledge of acupuncture and it's healing properties. She is friendly and spirited with clients, yet treats each individual's case from a strictly professional medical standpoint, yielding her excellent results and high customer satisfaction.
Example:
When I was hired to film her business, she noticed I stuttered. She offered me an introductory session. I took the offer, confident that she would be unable to help alleviate a condition I had lived my entire life with, a condition I had practiced for years with

If I could igive Ginger 6 stars I would!
Ginger did a great job in making me feel so relaxed and comforted while I was in her studio in Pacific Beach. What sets Ginger apart from others I have seen is that you can tell she really loves what she does. She asks a lof of questions and gets down to the root of the problem. I would totally recommend her services to anyone who has a lingering problem and wants to take care of it in a pain free environment.
Thanks Ginger!!!!

About a year ago, I hurt my food pretty badly..the the point where I was unable to walk across the room. Ginger graciously made several house calls and treated me with a custom, tailored mixture of herbs. Her bedside manor was nothing short of amazing and within 3 treatments over three days, I was (barely) mobile again.
I can't say that I know how much the treatment helped, as I don't hurt myself very often, I feel like the healing process was accelerated. I will definitely call upon Ginger again if needed.

My son was having some tendinitis in his pitching elbow. It has just started and after talking with him we decided it was mostly due to stiffness. Ginger was very helpful. He had never had acupuncture before and was a little apprehensive. She put him completely at-ease during the treatment and even gave us some herbal treatment to apply throughout the week. Over the next few days his elbow didn't get better but that was because we were applying the herbs wrong. Ginger gave us another suggestion which helped right away. He was treated on Saturday and by the following weekend his elbow was no
