Services

Our interventional practice is devoted to the diagnosis and targeted treatment of chronic pain, usually of spinal origin.  We are committed to providing accessible care throughout rural central, eastern, and northern Maine at your patients' convenience.

Philosophy:  It is our purpose to provide interventional services that would otherwise not be available in the communities we serve.  Our patients typically have chronic, consistent, focal pain which has not responded to conservative care (e.g. physical therapy, manual methods, medication).  We utilize history, physical examination, and imaging to develop one or several likely diagnoses.  If appropriate, targeted injections are performed for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes.  Depending upon results, injection or denervation can be repeated as needed.  Alternatively, patients can be returned to conservative care or referred to another specialist.
