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 we at PainCare we use a combination of therapies that address the complexities of the chronic pain experience."

Russ strives to always allow plenty of time to listen and explain. "Only 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:

"Choosing from a range of disciplines, often used in combination, to maximize successful treatment for chronic pain patients. Of particular interest to me is pharmacology, injection techniques – spinal and joint injections, spinal cord stimulation, as well as the role of diet, physical therapy, and exercise have in restoring function.”
