Experience the Benefits of Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture targets musculoskeletal pain. This therapy involves inserting fine needles into certain places on your body to stimulate healing and relieve pain. We take a holistic approach and not only do we focus on the area of your pain, but we also look for whole body health and wellbeing. That is true acupuncture therapy.

Acupuncture increases blood flow to the injured area, stimulating the body's natural healing processes and releasing endogenous opioids, which provide pain relief.
Holistic and natural approach to provide relief from common menopausal symptoms.
Acupuncture is an effective treatment for PTSD and Depression

Discover the Healing Power of Fire Cupping

What is Fire Cupping?

At Top Notch Bodyworks, we offer traditional Glass fire Cupping, available in both stationary and mobile forms. This ancient therapy, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involves using heat to placing glass cups on the skin to create a greater suction.

Glass cupping is the traditional method in TCM, known for providing superior suction, especially beneficial for mobile cupping. This method stretches tissue layers upward, creating space in the muscles and improving blood and fluid flow.

Benefits of Cupping vs. Massage

While massage uses compression strokes to relax muscles, cupping works by gently pulling the skin upward, enhancing circulation and facilitating deeper muscle relaxation. It’s an excellent alternative for those seeking a different approach to muscle tension relief.

Contraindications

Cupping is not recommended for individuals on blood thinners, those with bleeding disorders, or elderly individuals with fragile skin.
