Managing Women’s Pain: Clinical Applications of Alternative Medicine

An evening of education, conversation, and connection with SAGED.

Join A/Prof Mike Armour, one of Australia’s leading experts in women’s health research, for an informative, in-person session at Hotel Chadstone Melbourne exploring the latest research on integrative approaches to managing women’s pain issues.

Women’s pain remains a challenging area within general practice. With increasing patient interest in alternative therapies, healthcare practitioners are increasingly asked to provide clear, balanced, and evidence-based guidance.

This session provides an overview of integrative and alternative medicine in women’s pain. Drawing on his current research and clinical insights, Dr Armour will explore the potential role, benefits, and limitations of these approaches within contemporary care.

Attendees will gain practical insights to support informed, patient-centred conversations, including:

• The current research and evidence landscape
• Safety considerations and clinical limitations
• Practical communication strategies
• Responding to patient enquiries and identifying appropriate referral pathways

The evening features expert insights, a live Q&A, and the opportunity to connect with peers.

Designed for AHPRA-registered healthcare practitioners seeking clinically relevant, evidence-based guidance.

For educational purposes of registered healthcare professionals only.
