PainCare - Pain Management in New Hampshire

Treatment Philosophy:

"Chronic pain reaches far beyond the sensation of pain. It affects the whole person… physically, mentally, and socially. Pain sufferers should know that PainCare uses a combination of therapies to address the complexities of the chronic pain experience."

"Together can we develop a treatment plan using the latest technology and disciplines proven most effective in the management of pain. As someone who endured chronic pain for 11 years, I have tremendous empathy for folks suffering from pain. Because I have had great success conquering my own chronic pain, I dedicate my life’s work to helping those still suffering."

Special Interests:

"I select from a wide range of disciplines, often used in combination, to maximize successful outcomes for chronic pain patients. Of particular interest to me is pharmacology, injection techniques (spinal and joint injections), and spinal cord stimulation, as well as the role of diet, physical therapy, and exercise in restoring function."
