Pacific College Alumni Profile - Franco Garritano
Franco Garritano has been studying and practicing integrative
medicine since 1996. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, Franco completed a degree in Medical
Massage Therapy and Shiatsu at the Swedish Institute of Health Sciences in New York. He then
completed advanced courses in Western herbology at the Flynn's School of Herbology, also in New
York City. Franco continued his studies in San Diego, where he completed a four-year Master's
of Science degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine.
Here he interned at UCSD, RIMAC center for sports medicine and San Diego Hospice. He also studied
at Chengdu University and Hospital in China, where he concentrated on the treatment of pain and

of experience. With Dr. Xi Qui, he immersed himself in the treatment of trauma, orthopedic and
neurological conditions. During this time he maintained a busy practice at an integrative clinic
with physicians, acupuncturists, and chiropractors. Franco also served as the manager of the

In his practice, Franco combines acupuncture and massage therapy techniques, movement therapies,
stretching and exercise. He also prescribes Western and Chinese herbal medicine, supplements and
dietary therapy. Currently his areas of focus include the treatment of pain, orthopedic-
