PainCare - Somersworth

PainCare is the leading medical practice in the northeast dedicated exclusively to pain management.

PainCare is not merely a pain clinic. Our services include everything that a pain clinic provides, yet so much more. We understand that pain is more effectively treated when multiple approaches are combined. Our comprehensive pain centers not only offer interventional pain management modalities, such as injections and advanced surgical implants, but also physical therapy, counseling, alternative therapies, and medication management.

Our staff of caring, knowledgeable providers uses the most advanced therapeutic and surgical/interventional technologies available to treat your pain. All of us at PainCare are truly passionate about easing the suffering of our patients. Our goal is recovery for the whole person and a return to a meaningful and productive life.

Mission:

To alleviate pain and restore quality of life.

Philosophy:

1. Pain is whatever the person experiencing the pain says it is.
2. Pain often has a profound effect on the individual, the family, and other support systems.
3. Pain is complex, potentially affecting the physical, mental, social, economic, and spiritual well-being of the patient and sometimes significant others.
4. Each patient has the inherent right to function at the highest achievable state of self-sufficiency and independence.
5. That a goal-oriented approach involving various combinations of medical, physical, educational, psychological, and spiritual interventions can best help each patient.
6. With the goal of providing the highest quality of individualized yet comprehensive care.

PainCare was founded by local doctors Michael J. O’Connell, MD, MHA and John C. Bell, MD (1932-1995). In the late 1980s, they worked together as practicing anesthesiologists at Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New Hampshire. It was there that Dr O’Connell initiated a program of specialized care for patients with acute, sub-acute and chronic pain.

As the number of pain patients grew, it became apparent that there was an enormous, unaddressed need in the seacoast area for a specialized facility and healthcare team dedicated exclusively to this significant, underserved population.

Drs. O’Connell and Bell established the seacoast area’s first and only center devoted exclusively to the treatment of pain. On June 25, 1992, PainCare (originally Northeast Pain Consultation) welcomed the first patient to its Somersworth surgicenter facility. PainCare expanded its service area in 1998 by opening a second surgicenter facility in Merrimack, New Hampshire. Since then, PainCare has expanded and today has an impressive 12 offices located throughout New Hampshire.

Working alongside the many talented staff members who have joined the PainCare family over the years, Dr. O’Connell continues to build upon and administer the conceptual legacy he and Dr. Bell initiated over two decades ago.
Primary Specialty

Pain Management Specialist

Services Your pain is unique. Because the perception and tolerance of pain varies widely from one individual to another, pain can be difficult to define. Only you can say where your pain is located, how it feels, and how impactful it is to your routine function.

Following your initial consultation you and your provider will develop an individualized treatment plan. The vast majority of chronic pain patients choose a blend of injections, medications, physical therapy, and behavioral and lifestyle counseling.

Chris Clough PA-c is a highly skilled, ethical, and compassionate pain management provider. The quality of care I received from Chris Clough and his assistant Pam has been exceptional. He explains my medical question in terms I can understand and will take as much time as needed during appointments to address any medical concerns.
I can't thank Chris enough for all the time, care, and dedication he as giving me as his patient. His treatment approach of using injections, minimum medications, physical therapy, and behavioral /lifestyle counseling has kept me as active as possible. despite living with pain. There is nobody I trust more with my health & well-being, than I do Chris Clough PA-c. The ladies at front desk, billing are very helpful and nurses are also truly amazing.
