From the reviews
Had a wonderful experience with Ava. I was experiencing a pain on my wrist after giving birth with the cyst for four years. I found Ava through friend recommendation. She responded quickly and was able to squeeze an appointment for me within the same day.
Highly recommended! I sustained a ligament sprain and was feeling quite anxious, but Ava was incredibly patient, thorough, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Thanks to their amazing treatment and guidance, I was actually able to walk the very next day! If you're looking for top-tier care, look no further.
I cannot recommend Dr. Ava enough! She is incredibly professional and has a wonderful, gentle way with kids. My daughter is a competitive figure skater and suffers from leg pain. After every session with Ava, she walks out feeling so much better！
Just wanted to add ours to the chorus of rave reviews for Dr. Ava. We drove about an hour past many closer clinics on the hopes these reviews are accurate, and can now confidently confirm that Dr. Ava is the real deal.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
