Empowering Against Pain

Due to unforeseen technical issues, we've had to postpone today's originally-scheduled podcast episode.  Here is a rebroadcast of one of our top podcasts of 2019, in case you missed it!  The following podcast is for informational purposes only, and is not intended as medical advice.  Please contact your health-care professional with any health-related questions.

At CES® 2019, in Las Vegas, earlier this year,  we met a physician who'd made an exciting discovery. [powerpoint]

Dr. Amy Baxter, CEO of PainCareLabs, had discovered that vibration--plus heat, or cold--was an effective pain reliever.

And she'd used that finding in her invention of several portable devices to empower patients to manage pain--without drugs.

Dr. Baxter, who is both a pediatric emergency physician and a pain researcher, is currently continuing her research studies.   We talked onsite at CES® 2019's startup area, Eureka Park®, about the story of her devices, Buzzy®, VibraCool® and new device DuoTherm®, and how they work to alleviate chronic pain.
On this edition of Over Coffee®, you will hear:

How Dr. Baxter’s devices work to block pain;

How she first came up with the concept behind her VibraCool® and Buzzy® products (and the newest device, DuoTherm®);

What her innovator’s journey was like, from that “aha!” moment in 2004 to today;

Dr. Baxter’s background, as a medical professional, and her previous research work;

Why vibration works as a potent recovery tool;

How we react differently to chronic pain in the United States, as opposed to other countries (and how men and women react differently);

Why mental focus can be instrumental in blocking chronic pain;

The mindset, behind both art and science, that leads to innovation;

Dr. Baxter’s vision for the future, with Buzzy, Vibracool, and future research and development.
