May 06, 2025 Episode 18: A New Non Invasive Treatment for Lower Back Pain - HIFU
Send us a text with your thoughts on this episode!
Traditionally, the Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) procedure for chronic back pain requires approximately six injections with 2-4 inch needles followed by the insertion of heated probes to burn the nerves that supply joints of the spine called facet joints. What if you could do all that without the need for injections or heated probes? An innovative Medtech company, Fusmobile took on that challenge and produced a device called Neurolyzer XR.
Join me for an in-depth interview with Dr. Michael Gofeld who is the first doctor in Ontario to use Neurolyzer XR.
Will Neurolyzer XR replace traditional RFA? Should you try it, now that it is available in Ontario?
Find out.

January 21, 2025 Episode 14: Why Won't My Earache Go Away? One Patient's Experience of Trying to Deal with a Rare Chronic Pain Disorder
Send us a text with your thoughts on this episode!
Most of us have experience with earaches, either in our children or sometimes through personal experience. Although the pain is severe, it does resolve in a few days.
What if the pain never went away?

Join Dr Karmy for an interview with a clinic patient who has a very unusual chronic pain condition. In this interview, we discuss how our patient found a path forward both emotionally and medically and what lessons can be learned from her experience.

One of the first resources Savitri tried to help manage her pain was an online course recommended by her physiotherapist called: The Pain Truth

The courses they provide perspectives from pain sufferers with different diagnoses. It's a resource to help move through the helpless cycle chronic pain sufferers feel and helps foster the feeling of "taking charge" of one's life while coming to terms with accepting the new reality.
The program can be accessed with the following link: https://www.thepaintruth.org/

October 29, 2024 Episode 10: Cervicogenic Headaches, Nerve Blocks and the Birth of Chronic Pain Medicine in Ontario Part 1
Send us a text with your thoughts on this episode!
There was a time in Ontario when chronic pain patients who didn’t respond to physiotherapy or surgery were often given only basic advice to exercise or referred to a psychologist or psychiatrist to ensure they weren’t suffering from depression. But then, Dr. Peter Rothbart changed everything by founding the first community-based chronic pain clinic in the province.
In this episode, I interview Dr. Howard Jacobs, who, alongside Dr. Rothbart, played a pivotal role in creating the field of chronic pain management in Ontario. Together, they revolutionized the way chronic pain is treated, paving the way for modern pain management practices.
Ever wonder what it takes to create an entirely new medical field? Join Dr Karmy to find out.
