Testimonials

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 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 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.

“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

With that said, he told us to come in. I think he

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.

Using Acupuncture to Manage Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases can prove to be intricate and seemingly unsolvable puzzles for many people. And statistics prove this to be true as millions worldwide are impacted by autoimmune diseases ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to lupus, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel disease, and even Parkinson’s disease. Conventional medicine can diagnose 100 different autoimmune conditions, however the treatments offered don’t completely resolve the issues associated with the disease and in extreme cases, no treatment is available at all. And yet,

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
