Tolpa Holistic Health

Passionate about your healing journey.

Dr. Tolpa holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic College with over 4200 hours of clinical training. Her chiropractic treatment style utilizes a blend of manual adjustments, Active Release Full Body & Nerve® and IASTM Fascia Scraping techniques to achieve pain free motion. She can alter her chiropractic style to suit a gentle or more powerful adjustment. Common areas she treats are the TMJ/Jaw, neck, low back, pelvis, and extremities for conditions such as headaches, carpal tunnel, epicondylitis, tendinitis, sprain/strain, and neuropathy. She also went on to specialize in Neurofunctional Acupuncture at McMaster Medical University under Dr. Elorriaga, MD with a focus on functional assessment, pain management of high level athletes, manual treatment of musculoskeletal problems, and sports injuries. This specialty in acupuncture is exceptional for post-surgical recovery, ankle sprains, edema, concussions, and chronic pain. She also studied with Nava Carmen’s advanced fertility training to help women conceive naturally. Dr. Tolpa has also worked closely with Pregnancy and Pediatrics as an ICPA Webster’s Certified provider; she is experienced in chiropractic adjustments for pregnant women, infants and children.

Her training with the Arvigo Institute allows her to provide specialized treatment to the abdomen to aid in digestive issues, fibroids, painful menstruation, pelvic pain, and fertility concerns in both men and women. Dr. Tolpa completed additional certification in functional medicine to discover the root cause of illness and manage multifaceted chronic health issues. She has a special interest in digestive and hormonal health. Lab work, supplementation, and physical examination are utilized to create personalized treatments for every patient. Dr. Tolpa has an interest in mindfulness meditation work which led her to complete her yoga teacher training at La Casa Shambala in Koh Phangan, Thailand and went on further to earn her Reiki certification; a Japanese stress reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing. In her spare time she is constantly learning new ways to expand her healing practices and is a lifelong student obtaining her Nurse Practitioner in 2026 to continue providing excellent evidence based care to her patients.

She is kind and very professional in her work, I loved the patience she had in explaining each question I asked her about my body pains. She knew exactly what to do after doing the evaluation on my body. She fixed 90% of the pain and ailments that I had been getting worse for a month. I honestly highly recommend Dr. Sydnee Tolpa 😊.

I love Dr. Tolpa. I’ve been seeing her for a few years now and am so grateful to have found her. Mostly I visit for acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments. She is so thoughtful and diligent in her care. Couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. A true gem here in Charlotte.

Dr. Tolpa's entire team is incredibly knowledgeable. I went to Lisa Vander Bloomer for pregnancy pelvic pain and she went above and beyond to care for my symptoms. She spent time getting to know me and tailoring her expertise to my unique needs. She made me feel truly cared for during a time I was in a lot of pain. With her help I was able to feel and move better throughout the rest of my pregnancy. Highly recommend & I will be returning in the future!

Dr.Sydnee is absolutely amazing! I came in not being able to do much with my right arm. The pain was so bad I couldn't sleep at night. Her therapy has made it so I can do every day tasks without pain and I can sleep all night now. Thank you Dr.Sydnee!!!

Tolpa Holistic Health was recommended to me by my previous acupuncture therapist who has retired. She recommended Dr. Philip Lee by name. I just had my first two sessions with Dr. Lee over this past week. An initial consultation with a new provider is a two way street. Yes, the doctor needs to ask a lot of pertinent questions if he is to do his job effectively. But, the patient also needs to vet the physician in order to feel comfortable that he has the skills to deal with your particular problem. Doctors not only have to have exceptional skills, but need to be able to communicate effectively. This is beneficial to both. I'm a former military test pilot. I am check-list oriented and thus asked Dr. Lee to deliniate his complete medical journey. I now understand why my previous provider tapped him personally, even though Dr. Lee was not familiar with her, his reputation among his peers is apparently well known. His vast knowledge and training as well as the fact that he was a professor in his field put me at ease. He is extremley communicative, clearly defining his treatment plan, while also keeping his patients aware of each proceedure as he performes it. The purpose is to promote confidence in both the patient and the therapist. Dr. Lee has done just that, with flying colors!

I had really hoped acupuncture would assist me in healing some chronic physical issues. What I hadn't expected was how profoundly acupuncture would support my emotional and spiritual well-being. I found that after just a few sessions with Dr. Bridget I had more willpower, an uprising of creative energy, more hope and an improved outlook on life. Furthermore, I have experienced improvement of my physical symptoms; After just a single acupuncture session, a chronic and very problematic patch of eczema completely healed and has not returned. Dr. Bridget also was able to entirely resolve a repetitive strain injury with just 2 stem acupuncture sessions. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and professional and I wholeheartedly recommend becoming a patient!

I’ve visited numerous chiropractors across several states over the years, but the care I’ve received at Tolpa Holistic Health is truly unparalleled. Dr. Tolpa is exceptional, her expertise and holistic approach have made a significant difference in my well-being. Highly recommended!

I had my second treatment with Dr. Bridget Spence at Tolpa Holistic Wellness today, and I wanted to share my experience so far. While I haven't seen significant improvements yet in managing my Raynaud Syndrome, I feel confident in Dr. Spence's expertise and approach.

From the moment I stepped into her practice, I felt welcomed and cared for. Dr. Spence takes the time to listen to my concerns and tailors each session to meet my specific needs. The acupuncture treatments have been relaxing, and I appreciate her holistic approach to wellness.

I look forward to continuing my treatment with her and am optimistic about the progress we can make together. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate practitioner, I highly recommend Dr. Spence at Tolpa Holistic Wellness. Thank you for your dedication and support!

Dr. Phillip Lee is a true miracle worker. I was experiencing a migraine that would not break after trying so many different things on my own. He took the time to listen to all of my symptoms before beginning acupuncture treatment. My headache broke as well as my fatigue was gone. He also recommended Chinese herbal medicine that I've been taking daily and that has helped my energy levels and mood.

Not sure where I even begin. Dr. Spence and Dr. Tolpa were referred to me by another wonderful acupuncturist who left on maternity leave. I am beyond thrilled by the recommendation. I have used them both as well as referred friends and family who have all seen amazing results with acupuncture and chiropractic treatments. From sleep support, stress support, prenatal care, you name it I continue to see the amazing benefits of acupuncture and chiropractic care. I have also seen massage therapist Laura at this office and am very pleased to say I’ll never go anywhere else for a massage. She is definitely very skilled. Everyone here is so knowledgeable and very passionate about helping those who want help feeling better. They also just brought on massage therapist Michelle and my husband is thrilled with her talent as well. I’m telling you that you cannot go wrong by booking any service at this office. Dr. Tolpa knows what she is doing and hand picks who is working in there and it shows. So grateful for the support they have shown myself and my friends and family I’ve sent to them. Keep up the amazing talents you guys. We all appreciate you!

Exceptional! I was beyond impressed when I left Dr Tolpa’s office. The care, knowledge, and pain relief I experienced was first-rate! Dr Tolpa and her staff; specifically, Laura, took the time to not only identify the etiology of my condition but explain it to me in accessible language and provide an effective treatment. I experienced the tangible results of exceptional pain relief like never before at a Chiropractor’s office, and I have been to many. I’m definitely going back and highly recommend Tolpa Holistic Health.

I saw Dr. Spence for the 2nd time today to help balance my hormones and deal with some achy joints I feel are a result of hormones. She is incredibly knowledgeable, gave me the tough love I needed but with utmost respect and care, and left me feeling calm and grounded. Highly recommend for any woman who is wanting a natural remedy to perimenopausal symptoms (brain fog, anxiety, achy joints, bloating, sleep issues, irregular cycles, etc). We don’t have to go through these changes without support! 🥰

I would highly recommend Dr. Sydnee Tolpa & Tolpa Holistic Health. I had my initial appointment with Dr. Tolpa and she took the time to do a thorough intake, asked me questions, listened to my answers and insights and provided truly informative feedback to me as the patient. We did a mini-therapy session and she was just simply amazing!!! Super knowledgeable about what she does and why and how she can best assist each and every patient. I am so excited to add Dr. Tolpa & Tolpa Holistic Health to my well being journey and already looking forward to my next appointment!!!

Dr. Donovan is not only an excellent healer in the practice of acupuncture and bodywork, he is a competent educator of his work. He has helped alleviate my chronic low back pain, from an L5 injury, and provided me with an expansive knowledge about the body’s meridians and overall health. He has a compassionate energy, takes his time with his patients and provides a supportive environment.

Laura Weber

12:02 01 May 24

I saw Dr. Damien Donovan for acupuncture and a Chinese Medicine intake. I was very impressed by his well-rounded and comprehensive understanding of the body. The intake was thorough and I felt heard. Dr. Damien helped me make valuable connections between my lifestyle and symptom manifestations. After less than about 20 minutes of orthopedic acupuncture my back pain was reduced by about 70%! I highly recommend his services. Thank you!

Stefano Guillen

01:08 25 Apr 24

Dr. Tolpa is awesome! She has so much knowledge and absolutely fixed my neck problem and had my back feeling like it was new. The acupuncture and active release technique that was part of my treatment really aided me getting back to full health. I can proudly say I am pain free and recommend Tolpa Holistic Health to anyone! Also had the pleasure of working with Josiah for physical therapy and got to learn so much. They are experts in the body and can provide an abundance of knowledge. Very content with all the services I have received!

I came to Dr. Tolpa with shoulder instability I noticed during CrossFit. After a thorough examination she was able to identify the root cause of my instability and develop a treatment plan to address it. I was amazed at the tangible difference I felt after each treatment and impressed by the acumen she displayed in her craft. Dr. Tolpa not only cares about her patients but has spent the time that it takes to understand how and why problems precipitate. As a result, she is my go-to for performance concerns and nagging pains alike. Do yourself a favor and see her for a treatment that gets results.

Dan Lev

Dr. Tolpa is the perfect balance of personal yet professional. She takes her time to customize each and every service she specializes in to your needs. I’ve struggled with chronic shoulder/neck pain for nearly 10 years now and have never had such a successful healing rate until seeing Dr.Tolpa. Her passion shows in her work and I highly suggest seeing her.

Where do I begin to express how amazing Dr Tolpa is. We have been trying to have a baby and within a few visits my hormones are balanced and my pulse is strong. She has been working with my hips and low back pain as well. We tried dry needling and what a difference it made. Her chiropractic adjustments are easy and fast. She also took the time to figure out what was causing the underlying problem. She goes above and beyond really takes her time, and cares about all of me. My mental and physical energy. I went to her for Fertility Acupuncture and turns out she is a whole body healer. She also has gone the extra mile to order test that maybe my doctor had missed. What a blessing and I can’t wait to bring my baby to my visit and thank her for her care and understanding of the roller coaster ride to conceive a healthy baby.

Di Noone

10:22 01 Feb 24

Dr. Sydney Tolpa is a compassionate professional. Through her expertise in the application of dry needing, I have regained mobility and significant pain reduction in my shoulders from bone spurs. I highly recommend her and am so excited to render a positive review.

Sophia Alley

19:55 29 Nov 23

I have seen a handful of chiropractors in my day, and Dr. Tolpa is by far THE BEST! She isn’t afraid to adjust my body, and when I say my body, I mean the entirety of it! I feel extremely relieved leaving her office, and always look forward to my weekly appointments with her. My only regret is not finding her sooner!
