Testimonials

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.

I would highly recommend John at Bodhi. This was my first time ever doing acupuncture and it was a great experience and my neck pain and lower back pain was gone. 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.

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.

After the first treatment, the knot felt more like a bruise. After three more

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.

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

Acupuncture in a Nutshell

Unlocking the Ancient Wisdom of Gua Sha

Gua sha is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Practitioners of this medicine believe that a person’s qi, or energy, must flow unhindered throughout the body so you can feel your best. When qi becomes stagnant, health problems occur. With Gua sha, your acupuncturist uses a smooth-edged tool to gently scrape areas of your body where inflammation or stagnant qi exist to help improve circulation and promote healing. When done correctly, Gua sha can help you unlock radiant skin and
