Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This traditional technique helps restore energy flow and balance within the body's meridian system. Patients often experience improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall well-being through regular sessions.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customised herbal formulations address individual health needs using time-tested combinations of natural ingredients. Our practitioners create tailored prescriptions to support various conditions, from hormonal imbalances to digestive issues. These formulas work synergistically with acupuncture treatments to enhance therapeutic outcomes and promote long-term wellness.
Fertility Support
Specialised treatments improve reproductive health through acupuncture and herbal medicine combinations. Our approach enhances ovarian function, regulates menstrual cycles, and supports IVF success rates. We provide comprehensive care for both natural conception and assisted reproductive technologies, addressing male and female fertility factors.
Pain Management
Targeted acupuncture protocols address acute and chronic pain conditions through neurophysiological mechanisms. Treatments reduce inflammation, release muscle tension, and stimulate endorphin production. Our practitioners specialise in managing back pain, sports injuries, and repetitive strain conditions using both local and distal point selections.
Women's Health
Comprehensive care addresses menstrual irregularities, menopausal symptoms, and post-natal recovery. Treatments regulate hormonal imbalances, alleviate period pain, and support emotional well-being during life transitions. Our approach combines acupuncture with lifestyle recommendations to optimise women's health throughout different life stages.

I have been seeing Nick for 10 years because his technique and approach works... FAST. Prior to this it would take 8 sessions of physio to get my back pain eased. It has always taken Nick only 1-2 sessions. Now that I no longer have any back pain I am seeing Nick to reduce my blood pressure. Within a few short weeks the combination of acupuncture and herbs has brought down my blood pressure significantly. I have now managed to avoid a script for life (blood pressure meds my GP wanted me on). My new energy levels are amazingly high. Cant thank you enough Nick and team!!!

I have seen Nick for nearly 3 years now and he is just so professional, empathic, knowledgeable, kind and experienced. He took care of my when I was pregnant and the acupuncture sessions with him helped me prepare my body for birth and helped achieve the all natural birth experience I wanted. He is also massively helping me to fight my migraines (with acupuncture and chinese medicine) and I cannot wait to go back for my nest session soon! A great great place!

I can't rave enough about Nick and the team at Gardenvale Chinese Medicine. They are so lovely and caring and i honestly believe Nick is a huge reason i was finally able to conceive our miracle babies naturally after many years of heartache. The acupuncture and herbal treatment that Nick put me on a few months before and during my pregnancies helped me to relax and produce very strong and healthy babies. I can't thank him enough. True miracle workers.
