Testimonials

My low back pain has diminished thanks to John Emanoil, Bodhi Acupuncture & Wellness. Currently, I am on maintenance visits. He has also helped with stress reduction through acupuncture. Try it the results work. Thanks John.

John does great work. When I started going to him I had tried therapy, shots, swim therapy and need a cane to get around. Now I only use a cane to help with a lot of steps. I recommend him to anyone who needs back and nerve relief.

I went to John to explore acupuncture and it was a great experience. His office is very relaxing and he is very passionate about his work and thorough. I had some lower back tightness that is completely gone after one session. I go see John often because I get the healing I need and someone who is looking out for my well-being.

I was a “newbie” when I started going to acupuncture at Bodhi, and have to say that I enjoyed the experience greatly. I enjoyed the experience so much that I have been going to John regularly ever since. What made me a consistent patient at Bodhi Acupuncture and Wellness is John’s timeliness, professionalism, and easygoing personality. I highly recommend John and his services.

Very relaxed environment and John is so easy to talk to . If you are stressed or anything this is the perfect treatment for you. Excellent experience that you should try if you are contemplating it.

How Acupuncture Is Helping People Navigate Autoimmune Disease

For those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, mornings can be measured in minutes. How long before the stiffness eases? How long before gripping the coffee cup without pain is a reality? How long before feeling normal kicks in?

Even if you follow your rheumatologist’s treatment plan, take your medications, adjust your diet and pace your lifestyle, there are days when your body feels like it’s fighting a war you don’t fully understand.

Finding Relief in the Middle of Change: Acupuncture Supporting Women Through Menopause

Many women recognize the symptoms: your body feels like it’s on fire, hot flashes inconveniently interrupting important meetings, night sweats soaking the sheets, mood swings, and fatigue that no amount of coffee could fix. These are the symptoms that usher in the menopause era.

Doctors might suggest hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but for those looking for solutions addressing the body as whole and not just isolated symptoms, acupuncture could be the more natural option.

Acupuncture as a Supportive Therapy in Cancer Care

Anyone going through cancer treatment remembers certain milestones; diagnosis day, first/last day of chemo, and hopefully the eventual all clear appointment. First, the focus is on survival. But as the weeks pass, it isn’t just cancer that patients are fighting.
