Pulled Muscle in Back

A pulled muscle is an injury in which the muscle fibers tear, causing intense pain. Muscle fibers contain the contractile part of the muscle. The back has a variety of muscles running in various directions up and down and across the trunk. The interconnection of muscles, nerves, ligaments, bones, and tendons makes it possible to bend, sit, stand, breathe, and initiate other movements.

As you can see, when any muscle in the back is pulled or strained, it affects all movement. The lower back is designed to move in many directions, and the upper back functions mostly in structural support. For that reason, treatment of any pulled back muscle should begin immediately following onset. Many therapists recommend ultrasound therapy such as the MendMeShop Ultrasound Unit to enhance the natural healing process through the use of soundwave technology.

Pulled muscles in the back are not typically known to cause chronic pain. The pain is usually acute and goes away with proper treatment. If pain from a pulled muscle continues for several days, it might be an indication that more damage such as a ruptured disc has occurred. In that case, imaging diagnostics such as an MRI or CT scanning may be necessary to confirm or rule out disc involvement.

Many chiropractors, doctors, and physical therapists recommend the use of ultrasound therapy for pulled back muscles. To really speed up the effectiveness of our MendMeShop Ultrasound Unit, we invented our very own specific ultrasound gel to maximize the benefits of phonophoresis. After months of developing the formula and waiting for preliminarly tests to come back, I can honestly say our new Lavender Infusion Ultrasound Gel is a winner! We've kept out all the bad ingredients (paraben, colorants, industrial dyes), and I can honestly say - this is the costliest ultrasound gel ever made by anyone! Our decision NOT to use the standard industrial lavender additive but use REAL Bulgarian Lavender is a decision made for this reason: MendMeShop is about Real Solutions for Real People. Try it and you will also discover why our gel is by far the best out there!

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.

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 - this way they can heat or cool one while wearing the other. 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.

Ultrasound therapy is also a helpful tool for pain prevention of ankle injuires, and having a portable ultrasound device at home can be a powerful and convenient treatment tool. If you have symptoms or are recovering from a ankle related injury, using ultrasound on a regular basis before your activity or throughout the day will help relax your muscles, tendons and tissues, diminish pain and inflammation, soften scar tissue and contribute greatly to the healing of your injury.

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.
