Rebuilding Health From the Inside Out: A Sports Medicine Doctor.... - Talk with Dr. Nicole Payne

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Nicole Payne (affectionately known as "Dr. Nikki"), a sports medicine physician, physiatrist, and the founder of Quiescence MedSpa. Dr. Payne shares how she flipped the standard med spa model on its head by marrying her thirty-year passion for spa spaces with her deep background in non-operative physical medicine and rehabilitation. Key Takeaways: The Flipped Med Spa Paradigm: Most med spas limit their service menu to superficial treatments. Dr. Payne leverages her background as a physiatrist to weave cellular-level sports medicine directly into a relaxing spa environment, fixing chronic structural issues like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. The Low-Overhead Mobile Model: Operating exclusively on weekends while maintaining her primary hospital staff position, Dr. Payne avoids the toxic business pressure of high-volume patient quotas. This structural freedom allows her to dedicate a full hour to deep, personal diagnostic consultations. The Cellular Advantage of Non-Invasive Regenerative Tech: Rather than using local cortisone injections that mask acute pain while quietly damaging soft-tissue fibers long-term, Quiescence MedSpa implements targeted shockwave therapy to stimulate local vascularization and low-level lasers to accelerate active collagen synthesis.
