 Cristy Skiles, DPT , located here at Pinewood Medical Center in Somersworth, NH, is proud to welcome Cristy Skiles as its new full-time physical therapist.
Cristy attended Simmons College in Boston, where she obtained her Bachelor's degree in Science and Health Studies with a minor in Biology, and her Doctorate in Physical Therapy, with concentration in Health Promotion.
Cristy completed her internship at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Newton, MA, and was employed at Goodall Hospital in the occupational health clinic prior to joining Pinewood Physical Therapy. She is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association, Orthopedic Section.
Although Cristy evaluates and treats all areas of the body, she has special interest in the evaluation and treatment of the spine, and specializes in joint mobilization and manipulations that restore joint mobility and range of motion. Cristy states, “I always tell my patients that pain is an indication that something is wrong. We should listen to our bodies and learn ways to fix the problem before pain continues to alter the movement patterns that our bodies enjoy.”
Cristy is a native and current resident of Dover, and spends her spare time with her future husband and their two dogs. She enjoys practicing yoga and pilates and watching the Red Sox.
Cristy Skiles, DPT is now accepting new patients. To make an appointment, please call Pinewood Physical Therapy at 603-692-1816.

 Leslie Leduc
Leslie joined our PainCare family in September 2006 as a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner. Admired and trusted by her patients and colleagues alike, Leslie was quickly recognized as a kind, compassionate and intelligent health care provider. Those of us who had the pleasure of working with Leslie know she will be remembered as one who positively influenced so many, and truly made the world a better place.
With her infectious sense of humor intact, she was determined to continue treating patients for as long as possible. Her courageous efforts to persevere in the face of such adversity provided us all an amazing lesson in dignity. We will miss her dearly.
Our most sincere and deepest sympathy and condolences are extended to her husband Curt Leduc, her daughter Erin, and her sons Conor and Ed and their families.
At the family's request, in lieu of flowers please send donations to Seacoast Hospice, 10 Hampton Rd, Exeter, NH 03833.

We have been busily working around the clock to expand, update and improve our main PainCare facility in Somersworth.
Walls have been moved, new floors have been placed, and new space has
been created to improve efficiency and provide our patients a more
pleasant experience.  PainCare's new entrance and lobby areas
If you visit us in the next few months you will
notice many exciting changes:
-
A pleasant, new patient lobby and check-in area
-
A new state-of-the-art procedure area, doubling our capacity
-
Updated building colors and signage with our bright, new logo
Our expansion reflects a commitment to provide the very best in patient care for an oftentimes under-served population.
We have pledged to remain responsible in our growth, always putting the patient's well-being at the forefront.

 CLIA-compliant toxicology screening lab Earlier this year, PainCare constructed a state-of-the-art, CLIA-compliant urine toxicology screening lab in our Somersworth facility and has been more recently expanded to include a wide range of blood analysis such as blood counts, coagulation tests, chemistries, thyroid functions, PSA's, etc.
Analyses done in house with our own technicians means shorter wait time for results, more accurate treatment plans, and more rapid identification of patients with underlying chemical/metabolic disturbances or of those engaging in unsafe practices, such as illicit drug use. As a result, we anticipate even safer medical management for all our patients.
