Survivor of multiple traumatic injuries documents her own recovery
January, 2023- A woman from Landing, New Jersey took her pain and injuries in her own hands after having experienced very little progress from KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY. In addition, she also continued to suffer physical backlash and restrictive pain from a CAR ACCIDENT years prior. The following is a 10-week user test drive of a PEMF device conducted by Health Tech Reporter. The volunteer entered this review as an independent, unbiased participant. All reports, transcripts, videos and statements submitted are not under any influence (commercially or otherwise) by the producers or the manufacturer(s) of any device(s) used in any way.
"I maintained a consistent regimen of one 20 minute treatment of the PEMF in the morning and one before bed. I’ve been religious with this device with good reason. In comparison to where I was before (I couldn’t even walk five minutes), I am now walking around at work more and more. It's a 10,000 square feet facility and I’m doing this with NO pain, or resistance especially for around 45 minutes to an hour and a half at a time." (Report 1- post-op recovery | Report 2- Neck therapy).

Our network includes: clinical specialists, therapeutic technologists, diagnosticians and diagnostic innovators, public educators, advocates and other vital resources dedicated to supporting the medical art of physiological care.
IPHA promotes the spirit of network-building and collaboration, united through the bond of synergy and the common drive to make a difference. We contribute to the society of next-generation patient care through alliances, brainstorming and the integration of talents and solutions. We also support public awareness through educational projects, advocacy, joint research and sharing all useful information for public good. IPHA connects with pain professionals as well as group leaders to bring public knowledge to the patient community. We form a unique network of caregivers joined to establish a support system for one another- while driven to help those who need additional resources, technical updates or empowerment on the road to recovery. If you are a clinical professional, an innovator, an educator of modern pain and injury therapies, a community leader or a caregiver, we want to meet you!
Our ACTION PLAN includes:
• AWARENESS / advocacay with other community orgs
• PUBLISHING health care news, articles, videos & book projects
• PARTNERSHIPS with like-minded visionaries & innovators
• RESEARCH: project collaboration & info sharing

MOMS ON A MISSION: Keeping our Athletes Safe with Integrative Research
In support of our young future All-Stars, we need to give them all the best clinical care and preventive science has to offer- to keep them safe and in top healthy shape. This unique advocacy and research initiative brings access to the top innovations in diagnostic and therapeutic care for our young athletes. The MOMS OF ATHLETES project is a coalition of parents and caregivers that offers a national roundtable collaboration about the current state of contact sports and how our children are directly affected. Through our web-based EmPowermeet Conferences, we can now unite to form open discussions about the most critical topics and explore solutions collectively. (See DETAILS).
2022 POWERMEET: THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S DIAGNOSTIC NETWORK
April 27, 2022 marks the official launch of the National Women's Diagnostic Network co-produced by the Integrative Pain Healers' Alliance, the AngioFoundation and the NY Cancer Resource Group. Thanks to the collaboration of the co-hosts Dr. Noelle Cutter and Dr. Roberta Kline, the virtual event otherwise known as the Round Table emPOWERMEET / Leadership Conference 2022 united NINE remarkable educators in support of women's health issues. Each speaker shared their own visions, viewpoints and work experiences. They explored the field of care-giving and offered their personal inspirations that added individual energies to this public event. (see complete article on our first Women's emPOWERMEET.)
WHAT IS BIOFEEDBACK THERAPY? - A review about ONDAMED
In our search for non-invasive health innovations is the science of BIOFEEDBACK—we feature the internationally recognized pioneers from ONDAMED technology. Uniquely integrated with the features of PEMF/Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapeutics, this device offers localized tissue stimulation by induction of microcirculation within tissue. While the ONDAMED is approved by health authorities outside of the U.S. for pain relief, soft tissue injuries, and wound healing, the U.S. FDA regulates health claims to only include treatment for stress and stress related disorders.

PAIN 101: WHAT IS PLANTAR FASCIITIS? Written by: Josh Tiberius Schueller
Plantar Fasciitis is a challenging, difficult and often time frustrating injury that effects millions of people per year. PF is not considered a serious injury on the spectrum of musculoskeletal injuries so there have been a lack of attention to effective treatments. Many suffers are active competitive people who struggle with the lack of effective treatment. These people have to take weeks into months off from training because of this injury. Traditional treatments have been lackluster in results which has spawned “gimmicky” devices that have flooded the market. The need for a safe, effective treatment for PF is apparent. These devices need to be validated to decrease consumer fraud. The health care professionals need to realize that traditional treatments of ice, rest, and immobilizing are not effective for active people. (see full article)
MEDTECH REVIEW: Fluorescence Imaging for Inflammation & Infection
12/1/2021-clinicians are constantly in search for what provides us the most accurate quantitative data from the standpoint of non‐invasive safety. In the case of diagnosing cancers and bacterial infections, we are now exploring the potential of the intelligence behind bioluminescence and fluorescence (or autofluorescence) probes.From a 2019 study (by Raizman et al) about use of this technology (MolecuLight i:X) with debridement, scans of 22 wounds were conducted under standard and violet light in patients after debridement. Scans, performed non-invasively at the point-of-care, demonstrated remaining bacteria/biofilm signal in 100% of wounds after sharp debridement, triggering additional removal of tissue. (see intro feature review by Dr. Randall Weisel and Dr. Robert Bard)
ELECTROMAGNETIC THERAPY- NON-INVASIVE OPTION TO PAIN CARE
10/15/2021- Before TESLA became the household word for the next generation of automobile, medical historians and publishers often attribute the Godfather of electrical transduction therapy to NIKOLA TESLA (1856-1943) for his pioneer work in advanced electromagnetic field frequency. They align the success of non-invasive treatment innovations including the Pulsed Elecromagnetic Field Thereapy (PEMF) and the Transcranial Magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the philosophy of implementing electgromagnetic fields to stimulate cells. It is this same paradigm in patient care technology that enforces the very backbone of holistic and non-surgical ("no more scalpel") movement. (see complete MedTech review #1 on PEMF)
EMDR: MANAGING MENTAL TRAUMA WITH "INTERVENTIONAL RECALL"
10/11/2021- High risk professions like law enforcement, military service, healthcare and emergency response are known to have exposure to some of the most extreme levels of trauma - both physically and psychologically. EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is an innovative protocol that puts the patient at the drivers seat as a segue to learning about the inroads of therapy because EMDR is so structured and less of the fear of "talk therapy" and opening up. EMDR works on RECALL in a more structured way by targeting a specific event. It places the subject/patient in a somewhat dreamlike state (of calm) where we guide them through a specific event and try to untangle the trauma from the body and the mind. EMDR unlocks the bottled trauma and the objective of the therapist (or guide) is to bring down the stigma incited by the patient about that event or issue, so we can safely and comfortable work on it.
