Heal Your Muscle: Combine Ultrasound and
Thermal Wrap Home Therapies!

Muscle strains are the most common soft tissue injury there is. Muscle strains occur simply because the tissues become overloaded; every tissue in the body is susceptible to strains, tears and full breaks. In general, and most commonly, chronic muscle tears directly result from pushing your body's limits. This may include poor flexibility or strength, muscle fatigue, an inadequate warm-up, and a history of muscle injury; where as an acute strain may result from direct trauma such as a fall or a hit sustained to the muscle.

Common muscle strains include groin pulls, hamstring pulls, quadricep strains, forearm pain and lower back pulls. Upon straining a muscle the bodies inflammatory response kicks in; this can last for a few days. During this time it is imperative that the injured area is rested and immobilized to prevent further injury. If the area is not attended to properly the injury may quickly get worse. Continued exertion on the muscle will quickly change a minor stretch into a major tear.

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 muscle pulls and other soft tissue injuries. The best way to heal is to reduce swelling; the RICE method facilitates this as well as a quicker healing time

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 pulled hamstring 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! 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!
