VibraCool Pain Relief

Pain Care Labs, the industry leader in vibrating pain relief devices since 2006, was granted a US and China utility patent and design patent for its “system, method and apparatus for pain control and healing” product, VibraCool® Pro.

The device combines vibration and thermal therapy in a unique shape to provide targeted pain relief for patients with myofascial trigger points and fascial tightness. It is designed to fit most braces for physical therapy or post-surgical musculoskeletal pain.

"We are thrilled to have received these patents for VibraCool Pro," said Amy Baxter, MD, CEO and Chief Medical Officer of Pain Care Labs. "Therapists have been asking for a pacemaker-safe modality. Patients have wanted a way to use our technology with and under braces. Having new patents and an improved design for clinical use is a significant milestone for our company, bridging bracing with pain-relieving wearables."

VibraCool Pro uses a unique combination of vibration and hot or cold therapy to deliver fast and effective pain relief. The device features a cleanable surface contoured for hand-held use as a modality for myofascial trigger points, or attaching with a strap to conform to multiple body surfaces or existing braces. It is ideal for patients with myofascial pain, trigger points, and other sources of pain.

Pain Reduction by Modality

From aches and injuries to throbbing overuse syndromes, VibraCool® gives users one-touch wearable power over pain. Developed from over a decade of pain relief research, VibraCool® uses a patented combination of freeze solid ice and focal muscle vibration (fMV) therapies to naturally activate your body’s active pain fighting response. Our proprietary fMV frequency and thermal options relieve pain and remove the stress and anxiety that goes along with it.

Just as running a burn under cold water stops the sharp pain, or rubbing a bumped elbow stops the pain, our frequency stimulates the body’s system to dull or eliminate pain.

"I have experienced 13 knee surgeries. Finding the VibraCool Pro has been life-changing," said initial prototype tester Teddy Hodges. "It provides effective pain relief while being portable and discreet. Combining it with compression sleeves and more rigid bracing has been a game changer to improve my life without drugs. Highly recommend."
