Holly A. Halsey, Lac maintains an acupuncture practice in San Diego's University Heights at 4406 Park Blvd, the north-south corridor through the 92116 ZIP that runs directly south into Balboa Park. Halsey holds NPI #1225167034, California L.Ac. licensure, and NCCAOM national diplomate certification in acupuncture — credentials she has carried since 1999 after graduating with honors from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine's Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine program, which she entered in 1993. Her path into Chinese medicine started in 1989, when her own results as an acupuncture patient resolved a condition that conventional treatment had not addressed, an origin that shapes the practice's emphasis on cases where patients have already exhausted standard medical options. Chronic pain, musculoskeletal injury recovery, and post-surgical rehabilitation anchor the treatment menu, and fascial-restriction cases benefit from coordinated structural work at Rolf Method of Structural Integration on Adams Avenue, whose deep-fascial manipulation amplifies acupuncture's meridian-level effects. Halsey's four years of specialized body-therapy training before entering TCM give her a manual-assessment skill set that most acupuncturists develop only through post-graduate study — she palpates tissue layers and identifies fascial restriction patterns before placing a single needle. Women's health and stress management form secondary specialties, addressing menstrual irregularity, perimenopausal vasomotor symptoms, and anxiety-driven insomnia through TCM organ-system rebalancing. Halsey taught Chinese Medical theory and Asian Bodywork at both Mueller College and Pacific College's San Diego campus, bringing an educator's ability to explain treatment rationale to patients unfamiliar with meridian-based medicine. The Park Blvd location in University Heights sits a straight drive south to Balboa Park on the same street, with Diversionary Theatre and the University Heights dining corridor within walking distance. Chinese herbal medicine consultations follow NCCAOM herbal-certification standards, with custom formulas dispensed from GMP-certified granular and raw-herb suppliers. Eye-strain and tension-headache referrals connect the practice to CATHERINE F. SORIANO, OD for patients whose headache patterns involve uncorrected refractive error or digital-screen fatigue. Electroacupuncture and cupping protocols supplement needle treatment for deep-layer adhesion cases involving the thoracolumbar fascia and piriformis complex.
