A Special Announcement:

Please join me in welcoming the exceptionally talented Lisa Santhana, L.Ac. to our team. Over the past several months, I have interviewed many practitioners, but Lisa immediately stood out for her specialized expertise and shared devotion to Orthopedic Manual Therapy. Her clinical approach mirrors my own, making her both a natural extension of my work and a tremendous asset to the practice.

Beyond her technical skill, Lisa is an incredible person whose dedication to patient outcomes is evident in everything she does. She is the perfect complement to the high standard of care you have come to expect at Morando Manual Orthopedic.

Lisa will begin taking patients this Tuesday. Her availability will be on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at my Melrose location only.

Lisa Santhana, L.Ac.
NCCAOM Board-Certified Acupuncturist | Orthopedic Specialist

Lisa Santhana, L.Ac. is an NCCAOM Board-Certified Acupuncturist who has dedicated her clinical career to the mastery of Orthopedic Acupuncture, providing a sophisticated bridge between traditional Eastern medicine and modern musculoskeletal science. She earned her Master’s in Acupuncture from the New England School of Acupuncture in 2018 and was uniquely selected to intern at Boston Medical Center for three consecutive semesters. This rigorous foundation in integrative patient care allowed her to develop a results-driven approach that treats the body as an interconnected system rather than a collection of isolated symptoms.

While Lisa possesses extensive experience across various acupuncture modalities, her primary clinical focus is the treatment of complex musculoskeletal pain, rehabilitation, and surgery avoidance. She has refined a signature protocol that integrates advanced needling techniques with functional movement therapy and evidence-based Western modalities to create personalized, multidisciplinary treatment plans. Her work is centered on restoring structural integrity and promoting long-term physical resilience for patients who are seeking non-invasive solutions to chronic or acute pain.

Lisa’s dedication to the healing arts is informed by a global perspective and a commitment to whole-body wellness. She studied yoga and meditation at the prestigious SVYASA Institute in Singapore and traveled extensively through Southeast Asia to deepen her understanding of authentic Asian healing traditions. Her diverse clinical background also includes specializing in Fertility Acupuncture at VIBE Wellness in Boston, where she supported the success of numerous “Acupuncture babies.” Additionally, Lisa holds a Certificate in Functional Nutrition from Mind Body Green, where she collaborated with leading experts such as Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Casey Means to better understand the role of systemic inflammation in physical recovery. Today, Lisa leverages this multifaceted expertise to help her patients achieve optimal healing and a return to peak physical performance.

I have recently hired an Acupuncturist. She will be available for booking in my Melrose location only starting in a couple weeks (email to follow on these details).
