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!

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.

How Acupuncture Supports Recovery from Sports Injuries

Whether you are an elite athlete or a weekend warrior taking your sport of choice seriously, every practice, every competition, and every training session or practice is likely aimed at perfection. But when you get sidelined by injury, your whole world can change quickly. 

And when standard injury recovery options like physical therapy provide little improvement, many athletes at every level are turning to acupuncture to aid recovery, manage pain, and get back in the game stronger than before. 

Why Hydration Is Essential for Life
