$Pain: A Multi-Prong Approach - Todd Born, ND, CNS (December 2020) Pain: A Multi-Prong Approach” is the presentation shared by Todd Born, ND, CNS at the December 9, 2020 Zoom meeting of the Silicon Valley Health Institute. Pain is a common condition which sometimes can be disabling. As a result of attempts to control pain, there has been an unprecedented opioid crisis resulting hi deaths from overdoses. Many patients have been hospitalized for NSAID-related gastrointestinal complications. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) has caused acute liver failure. This talk will look at alternative approaches for dealing with pain including acupuncture, use of heat, ice, and supplements such as omega threes, curcumin, capsaicin and SAMe (S-Adenosyl methionine).
