Back Pain TreatmentsBack pain treatments can range from something as simple as resting the injured muscle to as radical as surgery. Before beginning any treatment, you must have a diagnosis and a treatment plan. Some causes of back pain require immediate medical intervention, while others may respond to the application of moist heat, anti-inflammatory medications, and muscle strengthening exercises.  The majority of back pain is related to some type of muscle strain which puts stress on the spine. Most back pain is located in the lower back, which bears most of the body weight. It is easy to injure or "pull" a muscle with activities as simple as reaching, lifting, or twisting. Once the muscle becomes inflamed, it puts pressure on the spine which, in turn, leads to back pain. In many cases, back pain will go away within a few days simply with the use of anti-inflammatory medication and reducing the stress on the affected muscle. If the pain does not resolve itself within a few days, or if it increases, it's important to see your doctor. It may be necessary to enhance the healing process with some type of therapy such as the use of our personal therapeutic ultrasound device.  If ultrasound therapy has been recommended by your healthcare professional. You don't have to make the trip to a physical therapist or a chiropractor to get the benefits of ultrasound therapy twice a week. Instead, you can have the convenience of a portable unit for home use. BFST™ - Using Your Body's Natural Healing System Your body can heal itself! In fact, your body starts healing itself the moment you are injured and it's the blood in your body that makes it all happen. Your blood is the transport mechanism for everything that is good inside you. It carries oxygen, nutrients, water and antibodies. Proper blood flow is essential to healing. Unfortunately, when you injure your body you stop moving and the swelling sets in. That means your vital blood flow can be reduced to a trickle! If you want to heal quickly, you need to keep your blood moving and that's where Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™, or BFST™, comes in. Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ promotes the flow of blood through the injured area without the need to exercise your already damaged tissue. You can really feel it work. Within moments of applying an Inferno Wrap™ you can feel the healing sensation and the increase in blood flow. During a treatment, and for quite some time after you finish, your injured area will experience increased blood flow even though your body is at rest. It's a soothing sensation and extremely effective. With BFST™ your injury is constantly being fed with healing, nutritious, oxygen and energy filled blood. This is exactly what your body needs to heal. How An Inferno Wrap™ Works
Inferno Wraps™ have been specifically designed for the treatment of deep, soft tissue injury. Inferno Wraps contain a patented Energy Web™ which is flexible and shaped to conform to your body. This Energy Web™ emits a uniform wave of perfectly safe electro-magnetic energy over its entire surface. This energy travels deep inside your body and stimulates the blood flow needed to heal your injury.  Our Cold Compression Wraps are recommended by countless medical professionals. That's why we sell them, because they are the best. We have noticed over time that our customers are so fond of our cold wraps that they are frequently coming back and ordering a second one. The wraps are becoming very popular with baseball and soccer trainers, and the wraps can be conveniently stored in a cooler for quick application on the field when needed. If you suffer from mild inflammation or pain after certain activities or movements use ultrasound therapy when you complete the activity and then rest and elevate your area of injury. Limit the application of ultrasound to a couple of treatments per day (the manual will recommend treatment frequency depending upon the injury). In between ultrasound treatments, maximize your pain relief and injury recovery by using an Inferno™ Personal Therapy System. Proven Performance, Proven Relief - only found at MendMeShop.com. If you have been given a treatment plan by your health professional, make sure you adhere to it to ensure pain free living. In general, people who are committed to their therapies and exercises will have the best medical outcomes.
| Dear MendMeShop, For over six months, I suffered from bursitis of the left hip. Nothing seemed to help. If anything, it was getting worse. Finally, my doctor gave me a prescription to see a physical therapist. A week before my first appointment I started using the hand held ultrasond that I received from MendMeShop. I started feeling relief. I was thrilled, and mentioned it to my therapist when I went for my first session. She said I was the third patient of hers that had purchased the ultrasound. She was getting good feedback, and asked if I would bring it in to show her. When I did, she was impressed. She also said the gel used with it, is the same high quality used in their clinic. I went ahead with a brief series of therapy treatments. I was discharged with some exercises, and told to continue to ice and use the hand held ultrasound on my hip. I have done that and I now feel that, between the icing and the ultrasound, my bursitis is being kept at bay! Another interesting thing I would like to share. I have a life long neck problem. I had a serious fall as a child, and as a result the first vertebre in my neck (the atlas) often becomes dislodged. When this happens, I become spacey and depressed and barely able to function until I can get to my upper cervical specialist in Chicago. Recently, while in Florida, I began to get the usual negative symptoms of my neck being out of allignment. I panicked. I couldn't fly back to Chicago for a treatment. I was terrified I would be miserable and my trip ruined. Out of desperation I used the ultrasound (on the low setting) on my neck. It felt wonderful, and the negative symptions subsided. I am still in Florida and doing fine. Very anxious to share this with my doctor in Chicago when I return. Rating: Sharon Carr         | ||||
