15+ Years of Clinical Expertise in Reproductive Health and Inflammatory Regulation.
Advancing Women’s Health through Science
At Acuvia Acupuncture Clinic, we treat the biological drivers of pelvic pain, not just the symptoms. Endometriosis and PCOS are systemic conditions that require a sophisticated understanding of the endocrine and nervous systems.
Located in the East Melbourne medical hub at 12 Wellington Parade, our clinic provides a professional sanctuary for women seeking evidence-based, drug-free pathways to wellness. We don’t just “offer acupuncture”—we provide specific clinical protocols for complex gynaecological conditions.
Inflammatory Control
Endometriosis lesions create a ‘cytokine storm.’ We use acupuncture to trigger the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, reducing the production of pain-inducing markers.
Metabolic Support
For PCOS patients, we focus on insulin sensitivity. By upregulating GLUT4 transporters, we help the body manage glucose more efficiently, aiding weight and cycle regulation.
Nerve Calming
Chronic pain leads to ‘Central Sensitization.’ We target the Vagus Nerve to reset the brain’s pain receptors, effectively lowering the intensity of pelvic cramping.
The Vagus Nerve Reset
A breakthrough in the treatment of ‘Endo-Belly’ and chronic stress. Because the Vagus Nerve is the ‘highway’ of the parasympathetic nervous system, it directly influences digestion and pelvic blood flow.
When pain is chronic, your body is trapped in a ‘Fight or Flight’ loop. Our Vagus Nerve Reset uses specific auricular (ear) and distal points to signal to the brain that the body is safe, allowing the reproductive and digestive organs to receive the blood flow they need for repair.
Specialized Clinical Protocols
Our 1,000-word commitment to your health means we dive deep into the specific sub-conditions that affect your daily life:
1. Post-Laparoscopic Rehab
Surgery removes the tissue, but it often leaves scar tissue (adhesions). Our post-op protocols focus on softening this tissue and improving myofascial elasticity in the pelvic floor, reducing long-term ‘pulling’ pain.
2. PCOS Fertility Optimization
By regulating the HPO-axis (the communication between your brain and ovaries), we help manage the high LH levels often seen in PCOS, encouraging more regular ovulation and improving egg quality for those trying to conceive.
3. Adenomyosis & Heavy Bleeding
For patients with Adenomyosis, we use specific ‘moxibustion’ and acupuncture techniques to regulate uterine blood flow, aiming to reduce the severity of heavy cycles and associated fatigue.
