(ATLANTA, GA) Pain Care Labs, the industry leader in non-invasive pain relief devices, announces today new patent protections for an innovative “PRO” line. PRO applies the Company’s proprietary mechanical stimulation (‘M-Stim’) technology for clinician use, to address more intense pain, and to reduce post-surgical pain.
“With the breakthroughs in physics medicine in the past decade, we’ve learned how to concentrate the effect of mechanical gate control pain relief through advanced ergonomic design,” says inventor and scientist Amy Baxter, MD. “Our patent protects improvements on our NIH-funded Buzzy® device, particularly to better provide orthopedic and myofascial trigger point solutions.”
Pain Care Labs already offers a variety of VibraCool’ interventions for knee, elbow, foot, and hip. Developed from over two decades of pain relief research, VibraCool® uses a patented combination of M-stim and thermal therapies to naturally activate the pain-fighting responses of the brain and body.
The Company’s proprietary and extensively proven motor frequency and thermal options relieve pain on contact. In line with new brain science, the intuitive devices remove the stress and anxiety that go along with pain, giving users one-touch, wearable power over pain that lasts. Suitable for use from the hospital to home, patients use VibraCool Pro after surgery or for intense musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. Compared to pharmaceutical solutions, drug-free VibraCool PRO is designed for rehabilitation post-surgery and intended to improve mobility, reduce pain and inflammation, and address overuse conditions.
Pain Care Labs’ newly won patent protections acknowledge the uniqueness of the Company’s solutions, the translation of new brain science to focal pain relief. Now, in an era where clinicians are searching for credible, drug-free solutions to pain management as the opioid crisis in the United States deepens, the Company’s PRO line will include proprietary frequencies for use by clinicians, a DME option to fit into standard orthopedic braces, and stereotactic biofeedback dual-M-Stim options.
The NIH has supported the Company’s research into devices and physics medicine as therapeutics. In its 21-25 strategic plan, the NIH included the “Bold Prediction” that in the next five years, “Increasing evidence of the effectiveness of nonpharmacological treatments for pain will transform the way pain is managed and decrease the need for opioids.” Pain Care Labs’ solutions harness Nobel-prize-winning science to make devices incorporating pressure and temperature to relieve acute and chronic pain. The future is here.
ABOUT PAIN CARE LABS
Pain Care Labs is the industry leader in non-invasive pain relief solutions. The company was established in 2006 by emergency physician and pain researcher Amy Baxter MD. In an effort to improve vaccination, she created a thermomechanical device so effective it led to an entirely new platform for pain relief. Since its May 1 2009 launch, the company’s flagship product Buzzy® has controlled needle pain for over 42 million procedures in 27 countries.
The frequency Dr Baxter used to create Buzzy is now proven to inhibit pain better than TENS, improve muscle soreness, blood flow, and recovery. With multiple patents and FDA 510(k) clearances to control and treat pain, the company created the VibraCool to treat adult patients and has now launched the “PRO” line of products to assist clinicians in promoting opioid-sparing strategies for pain management. The Company’s low back pain device, which showed a 57% reduction in lower back pain in a Phase I pilot, is expected later this year.
The Company is dedicated to effective, reusable, affordable solutions to pain. Its award-winning solutions are based on a patented M-Stim® neuromodulation platform to give serious, simple relief, that is supported by over 75 independent clinical trials. Pain Care Labs has received more than 15 industry awards and was named "Industry Leader for Localized Pain Relief" by Frost & Sullivan, the most prestigious medical device consulting firm.

Pain Care Labs (a dba of MMJ Labs) was established in 2006 by pediatric emergency physician and pain researcher Amy Baxter. Her NIH funding led to the discovery of widespread needle fear, the critical components of pain, and an entire new platform for natural effective pain relief. Now she and her amazing team are out to change the world and eliminate unnecessary pain. The frequency Dr. Baxter used to create Buzzy® is now proven to inhibit pain better than TENS, improve muscle soreness, blood flow, recovery and more. With multiple patents and FDA 510(k) clearances to control and treat pain, the company created the VibraCool®. VibraCool’s M-Stim® pain relief was 2-3.4 times superior to electrical stimulation (TENS) for physical therapy; another demonstrated 35% fewer opioid tablets after knee surgery.
