Acupuncture, Shiatsu & Oriental Medicine Of New England LLC

Here at ASOMNE we practice a uniquely comprehensive and effective form of truly holistic Asian medicine. David LoPriore Sensei, our Licensed Acupuncturist, is the only practitioner in the U.S. who practices Kosho Shorei Ryu style medicine. Our medicine includes the practice of Yin-and-Yang-based medicine and Five-Elemental Constitutional Medicine.

Yin/Yang or "Eight Principle" medicine is highly effective for treating imbalances and symptoms in all realms of function: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual (which means "character-development").

Five-Elemental Constitutional Medicine adds a rare additional dimension: it is the psychological and pro-active, self-cultivation medicine which looks deeply at how the workings of the mind, the emotions, patterns of habit, and our abilities to manage stress contribute to holistic wellness or illness. (The same acupuncture points can be used with this paradigm, but to increase our potential to make the behavioral changes to patterns we have been stuck in for years, and which are at the root of our health problems.)

Kosho Shorei medicine also offers patients who are interested coaching, counseling and training in both life coaching such as the importance of drinking enough water, or getting enough sleep, and in formal traditional exercises, such as specifically-prescribed meditation techniques, or Asian energy-balancing exercises which can dramatically improve holistic health, without the need for long-term treatment.
