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.

Pulled Back Muscle Treatments

A pulled back muscle can happen when it's least expected, such as by bending the wrong way, falling, or lifting something that's too heavy. A perfect example is when an individual uses the wrong body mechanics to shovel snow--especially when he has not been exercising and strengthening his muscles to give adequate body support. The lower back is more often affected than any other part of the back since it bears most of the weight and motion of the body.

Treatment options vary considerably for pulled back muscles, depending on the location and extent of injury. The pain is generally intense from the onset and requires some type of pain reliever or anti-inflammatory medication for pain control. In most cases, bed rest isn't recommended. It is, however, often necessary to stop or reduce normal physical activity for a few days to give the muscles time to calm down and respond to treatment.

Ultrasound therapies such as our therapeutic ultrasound device can be greatly enhanced the recovery process from a pulled back muscle. Ultrasound will heat the muscle, encouraging blood flow to the area. This internal heating is different from using a heating pad. The heating pad often becomes intolerable because of excessive surface heat. Therapeutic ultrasound can be tolerated since the heat goes deep into the muscle--where it's needed most--rather than on the surface.

Chronic pain often results following a pulled back muscle. Once a muscle has been weakened through injury, it's more susceptible to re-injury.

BFST™ - Using Your Body's Natural Healing System

Inferno Wrap providing superior blood flow stimulation.

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 bcountless 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,

I injured a tendon on the top part of my ankle about four months ago by walking too far on a sandy beach, dragging 2 heavy surf boards. I tried healing it with rest, ice, physical therapy and two cortizone shots, but it was improving much slower than I would've liked. So, I got the ultrasound machine and an inferno wrap from mendmeshop.com and the results have been amazing! In just 10 days, I've seen more improvement than I had in the previous 3 months with the cortizone shots and staying off of it completely. Now I'm very confident that it will heal on it's own(if I continue the ultrasound and inferno wrap treatments) and that I won't need the expensive MRI or surgery that I had been discussing with the foot doctor. I can't thank mendmeshop enough or recommend them more enthusiastically. They saved me a lot of money, a lot of time on crutches, and have been friendly and extremely helpful with questions I've had. I would highly recommend them to anyone suffering from an injury.
