About

Acussage delivers acupuncture and Asian bodywork in San Diego's University Heights from a clinic at 4406 Park Blvd, the north-south corridor through the 92116 ZIP that connects the neighborhood directly south to Balboa Park. Owner Holly Halsey earned a Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine degree with honors from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 1998, holds NCCAOM national diplomate certification in acupuncture, and carries California L.Ac. license #1225167034. Halsey's four years of specialized body therapy before entering TCM give her a manual-assessment background that informs how needle protocols at Acussage integrate myofascial release points with classical meridian pathways. Chronic pain and musculoskeletal injury recovery anchor the treatment focus, and spinal-alignment patients combine Acussage needle sessions with chiropractic adjustment protocols at Inner Balance Institute in neighboring Hillcrest. Rotator cuff impingement, lumbar disc herniation, post-surgical adhesion, and repetitive-strain conditions each receive point-combination sequences tailored to the tissue layer involved. Halsey taught Chinese Medical theory and Asian Bodywork at both Mueller College and Pacific College's San Diego campus, which means treatment explanations carry an instructor's precision about why specific points activate specific nerve and fascial pathways. Park Blvd at this block sits between Diversionary Theatre to the south and the residential mesa above Normal Heights, giving the office easy access from both Hillcrest and the Adams Avenue corridor. Women's health cases — menstrual irregularity, menopausal symptom management, and stress-related hormonal disruption — form a secondary specialty built on Halsey's herbal-formula training. Visual-health referrals connect the practice to Heights Optometry on Park Blvd for patients whose headache patterns involve ocular strain. Chinese herbal consultations follow NCCAOM herbal-medicine standards, with formulas sourced from GMP-certified suppliers.
