Acupuncture, Shiatsu and Oriental Medicine of New England

I have only the highest regard for Sensei David, his immeasurable wealth of knowledge, compassion, professionalism and kindness. He is easy to communicate with, he listens, he involves me in the process and is responsive to my needs at each visit. Finding ASOMNE has been life changing. After the first treatment I could walk without limping for the first time in over a year. I chose to continue weekly appointments to go beyond the surface of chronic pain to treat systemic conditions and begin healing at deeper levels. I will always be forever grateful for getting my life back, one treatment at a time. Namaste

I suffered over 9 months with an unusual condition involving intense torso pain, inability to walk correctly, not being able to ride in a car more than 10 minutes without exacerbating the symptoms, among other issues. I tried steroid spinal shots, numerous prescribed nerve drugs, and pain medications. 7 doctors were puzzled as to my aliments. Physical Therapy helped some, perhaps 30%. Finally one of the neurosurgeons suggested I give acupuncture a try. Thanks to David LoPriore, I received some pain relief from my very first treatment, (& some great herbal spray) . After 3 months I am now pain-free, and am learning, holistically, how to live healthier, and take responsibility in my own healing process. I appreciate David's knowledge of several traditions of the healing arts, and his ab

I started seeing Sensei David LoPriore for back pain which I had experienced for 20 years. I was not only relieved of pain but was shown how to keep it from coming back and was introduced to a whole new way of thinking when it came to my health. I also have Crohn's disease and was amazed to find that acupuncture was able to change my life and rid me of most of my symptoms relating to Crohn's. The staff is friendly and caring and I would recommend anyone looking to be truly healthy, both physically or spiritually, to make an appointment.

I recently started acupuncture with Dave and quickly noticed improvements not just in my symptoms (tennis elbow), but also in the deeper rooted issues that he believes are causing them. He is immensely thoughtful about his approach. The first session includes a very thorough consultation where he gets to know you well beyond the symptoms that brought you to him. He uses that info to create a holistic plan, including chinese herbs, mediation, etc. His background is impressive and he is a really nice person to boot. Cheryl is incredible as well and you might be convinced that her sole mission in life is to make everyone else’s life easier. I’m so grateful to have found this practice.

I first went to ASOMNE a few years ago to get some help with chronic, stress-related gastrointestinal disorders -- I had tried many treatments, including surgery, and was ready to get to the root of the problem: stress. Sensei LoPriore's work is indeed holistic and has has been teaching me how to better control the mind/body connection and lower my stress symptoms. The acupuncture provides immediate relief for a number of symptoms for me, including IBS, headache, anxiety, stress, and chest pain. Additionally, he encouraged me to begin a meditation practice which has improved my life in so many ways. Sensei LoPriore is a deeply experienced and gifted acupuncturist, but also a wise counselor and life mentor. He also has a great sense of humor and an infectiously positive outlook on life. Giv
