Medicine Hands Healing in Rolando brings San Diego a rare combination of doctoral-level Chinese medicine and two decades of bodywork under one practitioner at 4772 Rolando Boulevard in the 92115 ZIP. Dr. Melissa Romahn holds a DACM (Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine) from Pacific College of Health and Science, a California LAc credential, and a CMT certification earned through IPSB in San Diego. The clinical scope covers acupuncture, acupressure, Chinese herbal formulas, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha, and Traditional Thai Medical Massage, with treatment protocols built around pain management, stress and anxiety, insomnia, chronic disease support, and dysmenorrhea. Dr. Romahn's bodywork background — spanning Swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy, and Reiki — predates her Chinese medicine doctorate and informs a tactile diagnostic approach that integrates soft-tissue assessment with tongue and pulse reading, placing her in a co-treatment network with Family Connection Chiropractic patients on the College Area side of El Cajon Boulevard who need meridian-based and structural-alignment work simultaneously. Cosmetic acupuncture is a second specialty, backed by an Advanced Certificate in Cosmetic Acupuncture focused on facial rejuvenation protocols targeting fine lines, skin inflammation, and collagen stimulation through micropoint needle placement. The DACM training included Western anatomy, physiology, and pathology coursework, enabling Dr. Romahn to read lab results, assess drug interactions, and coordinate treatment plans alongside conventional medical providers. Mobile service is available for patients who cannot travel to the clinic, extending the practice's reach across the broader College Area and into neighboring communities south of SDSU. The treatment room runs single-patient scheduling with a full intake questionnaire, vital-sign assessment, and a physical examination before needle placement, and the bodywork modalities at the practice complement the manual-therapy offerings at Thai Tradition Massage on El Cajon Boulevard for patients managing overlapping musculoskeletal and energetic-medicine protocols. Each session concludes with individualized lifestyle recommendations and a clear treatment plan outlining session frequency, herbal formula adjustments, and progress benchmarks.
