Chronic Pain Management

Dr. Lionel provides chronic pain management services at two locations:

The Espanola Pain Clinic (EPC)

Located in the Espanola Regional Hospital and Health Centre, the Espanola Pain Clinic is an interventional clinic serving Espanola and the surrounding region.

The clinic is situated in the minor surgery and procedure rooms co-located with the Espanola Hospital's Emergency Department. Registration is through the main hospital registration kiosk.

The Espanola Pain Clinic provides interventional pain care to patients with chronic pain problems.

In addition to interventional care, Dr. Lionel also provides investigation of chronic pain issues; counseling around sleep, diet, habits and exercise; and medication management to the patients receiving interventional treatment.

While some patients do come from neighboring large communities, the EPC prioritizes patients referred to the clinic from the Espanola region.

Due to the large number of referrals, we are currently able to accept only a limited number of consultation requests. We prioritize patients from northeastern Ontario.

EPC provides the following interventional procedures:

• Caudal epidural steroid injections
• Nerve blocks
• Myofascial trigger point injections
• Ketamine & Lidocaine infusions 
• Monoclonal antibody infusions (Vyepti)
• Botox injections for pain and headache.
