Overview

My primary interest in pain medicine is interventional pain management procedures. My passion is neuromodulation and I am excited to be on the cutting edge of that field. I perform both spinal cord stimulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation procedures for patients with specific types of chronic pain. I have had many positive experiences with patients engaging in these types of advanced pain treatment modalities and look forward extending these treatments to other patients.

Accepting New Patients

I am an interventional pain physician with a focus on using procedural techniques to decrease pain and the need for medications. My main area of interest is a type of pain therapy called neurostimulation. Neurostimulation uses electrical signals delivered to the nervous system to treat a wide array of chronic pain conditions. There are many ways to apply this treatment including spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and dorsal root ganglion stimulation. The improvements I have seen in patients using stimulation therapy allow for long term satisfaction. I hope to continue to expand use of this exciting therapy to improve the quality of life of my patients. Dr. Roy is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Facet Joint Syndrome. His top areas of expertise are Chronic Pain, Facet Joint Syndrome, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and Cervical Spondylosis.
