Pain and headache support

Chronic Pain & Headaches

Support for patients navigating headaches, migraines, neck tension, chronic pain, fatigue or stress-related pain patterns.

Overview

A whole-person way to understand your symptoms.

Pain is influenced by muscles and joints, but also by sleep, stress, inflammation, hormones, digestion, nutrition, recovery and nervous system sensitivity.

Dr. Zorn’s approach considers the whole person and may include acupuncture, nutrition, lifestyle strategies, supplement review and collaboration with your broader healthcare team.

This may be a fit if

You are looking for clarity, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Every patient’s story is different. These are common reasons people book this type of appointment.

  • Headaches, migraines or neck tension interrupt work, family life or sleep.
  • Pain flares are connected to stress, hormones, digestion, posture or fatigue.
  • You want support while working with your doctor, physiotherapist or massage therapist.
  • You are curious about acupuncture for pain or tension.
  • You want a plan that respects pacing and burnout.

Assessment

What Dr. Zorn may consider.

The assessment is tailored to your symptoms, goals and safety needs. Bring current medications, supplements and recent labs.

Consideration 1

Pain location, triggers, frequency, severity, aura symptoms, medication use and functional impact.

Consideration 2

Sleep, stress, ergonomics, movement, hydration, caffeine, menstrual cycle timing and digestion.

Consideration 3

Nutrient status, inflammation patterns, iron/B12/vitamin D/thyroid markers where relevant.

Consideration 4

Red flags such as sudden severe headache, neurological symptoms or head injury.

Care plan

What support may include.

Your plan is individualized and adjusted over time. Recommendations depend on what is clinically appropriate and what feels possible for you.

  • Acupuncture when appropriate for pain, headaches, tension and relaxation.
  • Nutrition and hydration strategies that support recovery and headache foundations.
  • Supplement review with attention to interactions and medication safety.
  • Pacing, sleep and nervous system support.
  • Referral or co-management when symptoms require medical, neurological or rehabilitative care.

Common questions
