THE PELVIC BOWL-EP4-dR. JULEE MILLER
Episode 4 — Dr. Julee Miller: Pelvic Care as the missing puzzle piece!
In Episode 4 of The Pelvic Bowl, Dr. Krystal Couture sits down with Dr. Julee Miller — an acupuncture physician, ABORM-certified fertility specialist, and pelvic care practitioner from Health Point Jacksonville. Julee shares her journey from sports medicine to acupuncture and women's health, and why adding pelvic floor therapy has been a game-changer for her fertility, chronic pain, and pelvic health patients.
Why this episode matters
The Pelvic Bowl: Deep Conversations with The Pelvic Acu, Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, DPT, LAc is a video podcast dedicated to acupuncturists bringing pelvic health to the forefront of their wellness practices. In this episode we feature Dr. Julee Miller, AP, DAcCHM, FABORM who practices in Jacksonville, Florida.
Julee breaks down real clinical patterns (recurrent BV/UTI cycles, chronic back pain, post-partum prolapse, and fertility challenges) and explains how pelvic floor therapy — paired with acupuncture and herbs — addresses root causes rather than masking symptoms. For clinicians and patients alike, this episode offers practical insight and hope.
Key takeaways
Pelvic care fills a critical gap in women’s health & fertility care — scar tissue (e.g., C-sections), trigger points, and pelvic dysfunctions often go untreated by conventional care.
Recurrent BV/UTI is frequently treated with repeated antibiotics; integrating pelvic work, herbs, and dietary changes can reduce recurrence by addressing stagnation and tissue dysfunction.
Back pain & pelvic floor overlap: Julie estimates a large proportion of female low back pain has an associated pelvic floor component — screening changes outcomes.
Pelvic therapy helps men too: pelvic pain, urinary issues, and some cases of erectile dysfunction respond to pelvic-focused treatments.
Powerful clinical stories: one male bladder-cancer patient experienced a full week without severe pain following pelvic treatment while still in cancer therapies.
