Acupuncture is a medical tradition dating back more than three thousand years and among the oldest healing practices in the world. It is part of an integrated system of traditional medicine.
Since women go through menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause and arrays of associated symptoms with each phase, it takes a keen eye with ample experience to unravel the complex condition that women face at times.
Chinese herbal medicine is part of an integrated system of oriental medicine that can be traced back at least five thousand years, making it one of the oldest and most long-standing healthcare systems in history.
Your gut is your second brain — 90% of serotonin is produced in the digestive tract. We use acupuncture and Chinese medicine to address IBS, bloating, reflux, and other digestive concerns, improving both gut health and overall wellbeing.
Our acupuncture treatments are tailored to support women during their fertility journey. By improving blood flow, reducing stress, and balancing the body’s energy, acupuncture can complement IVF treatments to enhance overall reproductive health and wellbeing.
We provide gentle, effective acupuncture solutions to help manage both acute and chronic pain. Whether it’s back pain, headaches, arthritis, or muscle tension, our treatments aim to relieve discomfort, restore balance, and improve your quality of life naturally.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Melbourne
What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese medicine is not a single treatment but an entire medical system — encompassing several distinct modalities, each with its own history and clinical application. At Flow Acupuncture, we draw on the full breadth of this tradition:
Acupuncture
Fine, sterile needles are inserted at specific points along the body’s meridian pathways. At Flow, we offer three styles: traditional TCM acupuncture, ear (auricular) acupuncture, and Korean SAAM acupuncture — a classical style using very few precisely placed needles based on Five Elements theory.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Prescriptions combine individual herbs into formulas, carefully balanced to address a patient’s specific pattern. Our practitioners are qualified to prescribe individualised formulas in granule, tablet or raw herb form.
Cupping
Suction cups placed on the skin to increase local circulation, release muscle tension and support the movement of Qi and blood. Commonly used for pain conditions, respiratory support and muscle recovery.
Moxibustion
The burning of dried mugwort near or on acupuncture points to warm the channels and strengthen Yang. Used in women’s health, digestive conditions, and certain pain presentations.

What is acupuncture and how does it work?
Acupuncture is a system of medicine with over 3,000 years of documented history, forming a central pillar of traditional Chinese medicine. Fine, sterile needles are inserted at specific points on the body to influence the body’s energy (Qi), circulation, and regulatory systems. Research suggests acupuncture may stimulate the nervous system, modulate pain signals, and support hormonal and immune function. At Flow Acupuncture, we integrate classical principles with an awareness of current research to provide thoughtful, evidence-informed care.
What conditions can acupuncture help with?
At Flow Acupuncture Melbourne, we commonly support patients with: pain and musculoskeletal conditions (back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines); women’s health concerns (menstrual irregularity, PMS, perimenopause); fertility support and IVF assistance; digestive health; stress, anxiety and sleep difficulties; and general wellbeing. We take a whole-person approach and work with you to understand the root causes underlying your symptoms.
How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
This depends on your individual condition, its duration, and your health goals. Acute conditions may respond within 3–6 sessions. Chronic or complex conditions, including fertility support, typically benefit from ongoing treatment over a number of months. After your initial consultation, we will provide a realistic assessment of what to expect for your specific situation.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are significantly finer than hypodermic needles and most patients experience little to no discomfort during needle insertion. You may feel a mild heaviness, tingling or warmth around the needle site. Many patients find the treatment deeply relaxing and some doze off during the session.
