Meet Dr. Jesse Morris
Hi, I'm Dr. Jesse Morris. I help people find meaningful solutions to chronic pain. Drawing on my lived experience of chronic pain and my background in chiropractic, functional medicine, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, I’m here to help you resolve your pain and get back to living your life.
My Training and Background
My journey as a health practitioner started with massage therapy training at age 16. With that introduction to the power of hands-on healing, I knew that holistic health care was the right path to follow. I went on to graduate from Life Chiropractic College West in 2007, and have spent the years since deepening my clinical knowledge and skills with extensive training in functional medicine through The Carrick Institute and The Kharrazian Institute. Most recently I completed both basic and advanced training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy. My years of training combined with my own pain experience has given me a robust set of tools to understand and treat many of the factors that contribute to chronic pain.
I'm dedicated to deepening my understanding of the brain and body. Knowing the devastating impact of chronic pain and knowing that recovery is possible drives me to keep developing the skills needed to deliver meaningful results for my patients.
My Personal Pain Story
My relationship with chronic pain started early in life. As a kid I had burning pain in the bottoms of my feet that made long car rides or sitting in school unbearable. At that time, chiropractic care helped, but pain has been a recurring companion throughout my life — headaches through my teens, low back pain through chiropractic school and into my early years of practice, and ongoing knee and shoulder pain along the way.
In February of 2024 things took a serious turn. I developed a headache during a family vacation that just wouldn’t go away. For over two years I lived with constant head pain — trying everything I could to find relief. Chiropractic, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, functional neurology, supplements, elimination diets, mold remediation and more. Not even medication would touch the pain. Just be sure, I even got a CT scan to rule out a brain tumor. I learned what it feels like when hope starts to wear thin.
What finally shifted things wasn't the path I expected. Through a friend’s recommendation, I discovered Pain Reprocessing Therapy — a mental and emotional approach to chronic pain. I was willing to try anything but it was a stretch to think that a psychological treatment could address my pain. Much to my surprise, PRT ended up being the one thing that made a difference. By addressing my fear of the pain and the anxiety that was driving it, my headache began to resolve. I’m proud to say that I’m mostly pain free and passionate about helping other people recover from the debilitating impact of chronic pain.
This experience didn't just change my health — it fundamentally changed my understanding of pain. I've always been passionate about helping people find real solutions to their health challenges. I now bring something to my work that no amount of training can teach — the lived experience of what it's like to be a patient who’s tried everything. I know that recovery is possible, even when it feels out of reach.
When I'm not taking care of patients or studying chronic pain, you might find me playing with my family at the beach, riding bikes with my kids, working in the garden with my wife, backpacking in the wilderness or DJing under the alias Dr. Twinkle Fingers. Being free of chronic pain has made all the things I love in life just that much sweeter.
