About

EverThrive Health in College Area operates an acupuncture and Chinese medicine clinic at 5602 El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego's 92115 ZIP, staffed by multiple doctors of acupuncture and a CAMTC-certified massage therapist. The clinic identifies as LGBTQ+-owned and women-owned and maintains a transgender-safespace designation, treating pain management, digestive disorders, mental health conditions, fertility support, and pediatric and geriatric cases. The integrative approach overlaps with mental health treatment models at Alter Behavioral Health in College Area, where patients managing anxiety and depression combine talk therapy with somatic acupuncture protocols. Dr. Steve Murray, DAOM, has maintained a private acupuncture practice since 2018 and completed clinical internships at Palomar Emergency Department and Rady Children's Hospital, bringing acute-care and pediatric exposure to the integrative setting. Acupuncturist Sharron brings over 25 years of healthcare experience that began as a medical assistant at UCSD Medical Center and Sharp Coronado Hospital, followed by respiratory therapy certification and a doctorate track at Pacific College. Massage therapist Amy holds California Massage Therapy Council certification #73538, trained at the International School of Bodywork in San Diego, and works concurrently at UC San Diego Health's Center for Integrated Medicine. The modality menu spans acupuncture, herbal medicine, fire cupping, medi-cupping, microneedling, gua sha, tuina, electrostimulation, moxibustion, cosmetic acupuncture, and therapeutic massage. The clinic accepts insurance with co-pay-based scheduling for covered patients, and pain management cases that involve both soft-tissue and structural components coordinate with chiropractic providers such as Better Life Chiropractic on El Cajon Boulevard, where spinal adjustment and acupuncture protocols run in parallel to address overlapping musculoskeletal complaints. A nursing room is available for patients with infants, and wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking, and restroom access serve the clinic's geriatric and mobility-limited patient base.
