Dr Alicia Masters is an acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine practitioner based in Traralgon, Victoria. You can find her at Suite 4, 37 Grey Street, Traralgon VIC 3844. Her focus is on patient-centred care using Chinese medicine therapies that many people find helpful for everyday health concerns.
In the clinic, Dr Masters works with adults and young people who are looking for support with things like pain and tension, stress-related symptoms, and general wellbeing. At times, patients come in after trying other options, while others simply want a natural way to help their body settle. Treatments are usually tailored to what’s going on for each person, rather than using the same plan for everyone.
Acupuncture is one of the main therapies. It involves fine needles placed at specific points to help encourage the body’s balance and improve how you feel. Along with that, Dr Masters also offers herbal medicine consultations. These are often used to support overall health and to match the pattern of symptoms, based on what’s discussed in the appointment.
You may also see cupping therapy, which uses gentle suction on the skin. Some people find it relaxing, while others use it for muscle tightness or to support recovery. Moxibustion therapy may also be included as part of a treatment plan. It’s a heat-based therapy that’s used in Chinese medicine to warm and support certain areas.
Over time, Dr Masters builds practical experience through regular clinic care and ongoing patient follow-up. The aim is to make sure treatment feels clear and manageable, not confusing or overwhelming. Appointments are kept grounded and simple, with time to talk through your symptoms and what you’re hoping to get from care.
Training is in Chinese medicine and acupuncture practice. While exact education details aren’t listed here, the approach is guided by the core ideas of Chinese medicine and the everyday clinical routines that help practitioners deliver consistent care.
When it comes to research, Dr Masters keeps an eye on the wider evidence around acupuncture and related therapies. The clinic decisions focus on what’s sensible for each situation, and what fits with patient comfort and goals. There aren’t any specific clinical trial details provided, but treatment choices are still made with evidence in mind.
