Dr. James P. Doyle, D.O., received his Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1969. After several years as a physician in a family practice, he discovered that the benefits of good nutrition and acupuncture surpass many prescription drugs. As a Western doctor, he believes that medication can often only “manage” the symptom, whereas acupuncture and good nutrition can often eliminate its cause.
In 1974 Dr. Doyle helped found the New England School of Acupuncture, the first acupuncture school in America. Dr. Doyle studied acupuncture at the New England School with James Tin Yau So, the school’s founder and principal instructor. He was elected as the first president of the Massachusetts acupuncture society in 1976. In 1982, Dr. Doyle went on to study acupuncture in mainland China’s Nanching College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, one of the first classes offered to Western trained doctors. In 1998 Dr. Doyle completed a two-year course in Chinese herbal medicine with Dr. Ted Kaptchuk.

He is currently on staff at St. Elisabeth’s Hospital in the Department of Complementary Medicine.

  Torticollis, Neck Pain, Panic, Stress, Fatigue
  
  A year ago, a number of events lead me to experience what a therapist diagnosed simply as, “post-traumatic stress disorder”. The symptoms were varying and scattered: memory loss, cognitive difficulties, panic, emotional/physical stress, worry, dizziness, neck spasms and pain, fatigue, and an overall sense of imbalance. Six months later, I was re-diagnosed with a chronic neurological movement disorder, Cervical Dystonia, an “untreatable” condition. I was left with an inability to walk, drive, stand up straight, and at times eat or swallow. I was told I'd have to spend the rest of my life managing these symptoms. Determined to find relief, I spent thousands of dollars on NSA, (light chiropractic touches thought to retrain the nervous system- a method considered highly effective in most cases). After over thirty treatments, with only one real remission from symptoms, I was told that my condition had not improved at all in its severity. Even after the evaluation with Dr. Doyle, I knew I was in good hands. He listened to everything as I explained it, and had insights and questions no other doctor had even considered taking the time to ask or wonder about. There was actually a goal, to treat the underlying condition. After one treatment with Hudson, my chiropractor was “shocked” at the improvement (he believed my case to be untreatable, and felt it would be a long time before I saw any real improvement in symptoms). Three treatments later, and the severity of the symptoms still have yet to return. My motion has improved remarkably, and for the first time in months I honestly believe I can have my life back. Thank you so much
