Heal Your Meniscus: Combine Ultrasound and
Thermal Wrap Home Therapies!
The knee joint is made up of many ligaments and tendons that support the weight and movement of your legs. The meniscus provides even weight distribution across the knee joint effectively protecting your bones from excessive force and severe arthritis. The meniscus is a tough cartilage that rests in between the thigh bone and shin bone on either side of the knee.
In younger people a meniscus tear most commonly occurs when under weight the knee is twisted forcefully. In adults a meniscus injury is more of a degenerative process; as the cartilage becomes brittle even a minor injury could tear the cartilage.
If you visit your doctor about knee pain they will almost always consider a meniscus tear but for your own reference a meniscus tear will cause pain and swelling of the knee, tenderness on either side of the knee where the menisci are located, limited range of motion and some people even experience a locking of the joint.
Once you have a meniscus tear, you have an increased risk of developing knee arthritis, because these shock absorbers are weakened. They slowly wear away with knee movements and are unable to protect your articular cartilage on the surface of the knee joint as much as before.
Subject: thank you
I had been suffering for months with debilitating pain in my knee that was a result of a meniscus injury that just wouldn't heal. The advice I received was to ice it, try to stay off it, and take something for the pain. Hopefully in a few weeks or months it should have hopefully healed and surgery could be avoided. Well, it wasn't healing, it was getting worse.
Desparate to escape surgery, I bought your ultimate knee kit. Two weeks later most of my pain is gone. I have little doubt that I'm now on the road to a full recovery
I just wish someone had recommended products like these to save me months of suffering.

In the injuries initial stages it is important to reduce the swelling in the area and to control the pain as much as you can. The URICE (Ultrasound, Rest Ice Compression Elevation) method has long been a tried and true treatment for soft tissue injuries. The best way to heal is to reduce swelling; the RICE method facilitates this as well as a quicker healing time.
During your recovery, you will probably have to modify and/or eliminate any activities that cause pain or discomfort in your knee area until your pain and inflammation settle.
Small tears may go completely unnoticed and will most likely heal themselves. These tears are often located on the outer edges of your meniscus and have access to a lot of blood supply, which helps them heal quicker This is fine as long as the mild pain and inflammation does not worsen. Other small tears will heal with conservative treatments, especially if your knee is stable and doesn't lock.
 The MendMeShop Portable Ultrasound Therapy System and our top quality cold wraps provide you with the tools necessary to relieve the pain caused by your torn meniscus and dramatically speed the healing of any tissue inflammation. When using radiant energy or ultrasound, the energy waves stimulate blood flow which speeds up healing and clears away the pain causing inflammation. Beginning with your very first treatment you will feel the relief - the power - of ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound waves travel deep into your body, over 3 inches deep, delivering therapeutic benefits to the source of the pain
Our Ultrasound system comes with a specially formulated gel which contains naturally-based, pain relieving, anti-inflammatory ingredients. The ultrasound unit actually drives the pain relieving ingredients deep into injured tissue (a process known medically as phonophoresis) giving you the pain relief where you need it. In effect, you receive enhanced ultrasound therapy treatment every session!
To get the maximum benefits combine ultrasound therapy and our cold therapy wraps for the ultimate in URICE treatment!
As a die hard rugby player my body takes some serious abuse.
I have a bunch of your cold wraps (excellent by the way) and two thermotex units. Recently I bought an ultrasound kit and you are quite right - the ultrasound took my whole therapy habit to another level.
I use everything religously now as part of my regular training and I find I get hurt a lot less often. When I do take a bad hit, I bounce back in no time. Thank you for extending my career!

Our cold compression wraps are made of the highest quality materials available. They fit perfectly, stay in place, are extremely durable, and use a special patented baffled cold array. What is a baffled cold array? All other cold packs simply use a plastic bag partially filled with cold gel. What is sure to happen is the gel pools in the low spots or in pockets where there is no pressure. Fill a plastic bag with water and put it on your arm and watch what happens - all the water sits in two pools on either side of your arm. Cold compression wraps work because they interrupt and slow nerve and cell function in the damaged area. Once blood vessels are damaged they can no longer carry oxygenated blood to the damaged tissue and therefore cells begin to break-down. The deep cold provided by cold compression wraps slow cell function thereby reducing cellular break-down. Furthermore, because the cold wraps serve to numb the nerves the wraps also reduce pain!
