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.
