“Bodhi Acupuncture and Wellness of West Des Moines “twice a week” treatments have relieved me of daily headaches that I have experienced for over 30 years. Thanks John. Paul M. Havnen

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 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.

John also uses an amazing massage machine after the treatment for additional relaxation. You don’t want to miss this place.
