This episode is a really fascinating interview about chronic pain and its management. Whether it is back pain, neck pain, an injury or even a tooth ache, we have all been in pain at one stage in our lives. Yet, pain is such an individualised experience and sometimes the stimulus doesn’t match the level of pain. So, to delve into one of the most complex areas of health, I thought who better to interview than Dr Roberta Chow. Dr chow really is a wealth of knowledge.  She is a world leading clinical practitioner and PhD in the field of laser therapy for pain management. Originally, a general practitioner in private practice, Dr. Chow is focused solely on pain management and has used laser therapy to treat patients since 1988. This led her to undertake a PhD in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney, studying laser therapy (LLLT) in neck pain although she treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal pain issues. Her further studies have included a Master of Applied Science and Grad Dip Pain Management (Sydney Uni).

Interview with Dr Roberta Chow - GP focusing on Pain Management, PhD.

Laser therapy is not a commonly used tool so will be interesting to listen to our expert on this topic, esp in relation to headaches.

She is also a clinician working in primary care-based pain management.  Her major area of research interest has been in the use of photobiomodulation for pain relief.  She was awarded a PhD from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney, for the of study laser therapy for neck pain and neural mechanisms underlying these effects. She was later awarded a National Health and Research Council grant to study the effects of laser on nerves. Dr Chow was on the Steering Committee for the development of the National Pain Strategy, designed to guide integrated and innovative planning for pain management across Australia.  She recently received a Government award for her contribution to medicine and the introduction of laser therapy for pain management. What is laser therapy? Whats the difference between low level laser therapy and more powerful laser alternatives? What does it have to offer compared with other treatments? How does it work for headache? Can it work with other therapies? Are there any reasons not to use laser therapy? Is laser therapy painful? How long do treatments take? Dr Chow has used laser therapy for painful conditions including headache since 1988.  She is one of the most experienced practitioners as well as a researcher in the field of laser therapy and has book chapters and international publications on laser therapy for many painful conditions.
