While regenerative medicine is a relatively new area of medicine, it has shown great promise in. If you're suffering from pain, you might be able to benefit from pain management injections. Headaches are one of the most common reasons people call out sick from work and visit their doctor. Joint pain stems from any area of inflammation in the cartilage, bone, ligaments, and tendons that make up the joints in your body.
Here at Spine Technology and Rehabilitation, we are dedicated to you, your health, your recovery, and your lifestyle. Our team recognizes that pain and disability are complex issues requiring intense dedication and compassion from each team member. Spine Technology and Rehabilitation truly places each patient as the ultimate beneficiary of the healthcare continuum.
Pain basically acts as the alarm bell for the nervous system. It warns your body that something's wrong. The worst part is that you can physically feel this alarm bell, whether it's a dull, throbbing pain or a sharp, stabbing sensation. Chronic pain symptoms indicate that something serious needs to be addressed.
Some people use over-the-counter medication and a rest day to relieve headaches and migraines. This only provides temporary relief, though. If you're experiencing constant headaches, the symptoms will still return regardless of how strong your OTC medication is. In this case, it might be time to visit the doctor.
Athletes, driven by their competitive instincts, may push their bodies beyond their normal physiologic limits. Moreover, the sheer physical demands and repetitive nature of sports participation places athletes at risk for injury. Compression, elevation, and momentary rest aren't always enough to heal those injuries, though.

Dr Fortin and his staff are real detectives; looking for ways to correct or improve the root cause of pain. They are quick to explain what is happening in my body and offer cutting edge therapies. Everyone in the office genuinely cares for patients and their well being. I have recommended Dr fortin to many family members and friends. And they have all had great results!

This was my first visit to see Dr Fortin. The staff were all very pleasant and professional. Dr Fortin went into great detail with my examination in determining what remedies might be best for my back issues. Tests are scheduled to determine the exact cause of my pain. I am praying that the final result of my experience with Dr Fortin will benefit me greatly and I can maintain the 5 star rating.

Dr Forton has treated me in the past for low back pain and drop foot with 100% success. He also has AAA+ staff. The best part is the Happy Juice given just before back treatment.
I saw Dr Fortin and his staff again and they continued with their same excellent AAA+ service. If you are experiencing back pain then you need to make an appointment with Dr Fortin.

I would not recommend Dr. Fortin if you have a "mystery" or "complex" case. Dr. Fortin treated me more like a puzzle than an person. During one of my visits, he said "if all my patients were like you, I would go out of business". This was after several failed injections. Their office is not compassionate. You can hear everything that is said in the hallway about other patients. I overheard the nurse and the receptionist speaking of another patient that was calling in reporting high pain levels, but could not take off work. They said, "she must not really be in pain". They could not fathom that

I really like these guys. Dr Fortin is very knowledgeable and explains things as plainly as possible. I love Katie his Nurse, and Jenna at the front desk.
This is such a nice break from the "big box" pain management People.
They know their stuff, and are kind and understanding.
If you are having back problems, I recommend starting here, rather than ending up here like I did.

Dr Fortin and his staff were excellent. Dr. Fortin went way above and beyond to make me, a new nervous patient feel welcome and comfortable. He gave me one of the most thorough exams I have ever been given. He was highly skilled in explaining in detail his assessment of my health. He also showed compassion and outstanding people skills . It was a true pleasure to meet Dr Fortin and his staff. This man for sure does his homework in assessing his patients. He truly is a kind doctor who impressed me very much.

Wow, my first consultation was very enlightening. Dr. Fortin was very meticulous and detailed in his review and assessment of my issue. I really appreciated his well paced exam and explanation of my condition. I felt very comfortable the entire time and am looking forward to future treatments to relieve my pain.
