Testimonials

I started seeing John for lower back pain and insomnia about a year and a half ago. The treatments worked great. Then my husband and I decided to try for baby 2. After my second treatment for fertility I got pregnant. I saw John throughout my pregnancy for relaxation and pelvic pain. I delivered a healthy baby girl 2 weeks ago. John is super nice, affordable, and flexible. I can’t wait to try his treatments for anti aging!

Dr. John is absolutely wonderful. I called him at random because my husband has issues with his shoulder/arm and knee and his knee got so bad he was limping. I called to inquire and told him the situation and he said that he could meet with us the next day. I stressed how my husbands pain was so bad that I was considering taking him to the ER. With that said, he told us to come in. I think he

I’m not the kind of guy who runs out to the doctor for every little thing. A couple weeks ago, I developed a knot under my shoulder blade that was so painful I couldn’t even take a deep breath. In a what-have-I-got-to-loose moment, my wife suggested acupuncture, Wow! This stuff is like magic! John Emanoil was very thorough finding and correcting the issues with my shoulder. After the first treatment, the knot felt more like a bruise. After three more

I highly recommend John at Bodhi. He is very thorough, caring and skilled. I have been receiving this treatment for one year now, 1-2 times per week, and it has helped tremendously. In addition to relieving my neck and shoulder pain, i leave the treatment feeling extremely relaxed and calm. You will receive a great value. John also uses an amazing massage machine after the treatment for additional relaxation. You don’t want to miss this place.

Once again John at Bodhi Acupuncture and Wellness hit it out of the park as far as my treatment. Earlier in the year, I came to him for tendinitis in my right elbow, he resolved the pain in about 4 treatments or so. I’ve returned for stress treatments and found it to be very effective, plus I sleep better too.

Shallow vs. Deep Acupuncture Needling

Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years, originating in ancient China as a method to restore the body’s balance and promote healing. While the fundamental premise — stimulating specific points on the body to affect energy flow or “qi”— remains consistent, practitioners have developed varying techniques, including shallow and deep needling. Each method has its own strengths, applications, and limitations. Understanding the pros and cons of both approaches can help you understand which might be better suited for

The Benefits of Eating for the Seasons

Restaurants that have revolving seasonal menus have gained in popularity in recent years. The concept of seasonal eating has deep roots. Before the advent of modern agriculture and global trade, people naturally consumed foods that were locally available during specific times of the year. But today, the convenience of supermarkets allows us to eat almost any fruit or vegetable year-round. While this accessibility is convenient, it disconnects us from the natural cycles of food and may not always be
