Paincare Centers

About Paincare Centers

PainCare Centers, Inc., medical institute administers specialty care for patients who experience pain at the acute, sub-acute, and chronic levels. Since its launch in 1992, the medical facility has branched out to incorporate a total of nine clinics across New Hampshire, two of which are set to open this autumn. The location in Littleton and the North Conway offices will be completed in October 2011. With a highly skilled staff of more than 160 employees, PainCare Centers currently treats over 6,000 patients each month.

Founded by Dr. Michael J. O’Connell, MD, MHA, and Dr. John C. Bell, MD, PainCare Centers originally only offered pain management services to residents of New Hampshire; however, with the continued development and growth of the company, the medical facility now offers services in family practice, laboratory testing, and addiction treatment in correspondence with PainCare Centers’ Suboxone Program, and to residents of the states of Maine, Massachusetts, and Vermont. In the near future, the clinic will also provide MRI scanning. Currently, PainCare Centers offers comprehensive treatments for a wide variety of pain generators, including the vertebral spine, muscular, joint, nerve, and general, as well as post-surgery pain and chronic pain syndrome.

With its increasing success, PainCare Centers has used its gains to establish a nonprofit sector of the clinic called the People Care Foundation. Founded as an educational and lobbying division, the organization was developed to reach out to the New Hampshire community, particularly the youth population, and increase awareness about the consequences of prescription drug abuse by using the nontraditional strategy of orchestrating interaction between teenaged students and young addicts in recovery.
