Heal Your Tendon

Combine Ultrasound and Thermal Wrap

Home Therapies!

Tendon tissue is a fibrous flexible connective tissue between your muscles and bones, providing the means and strength to move your bones. The tendon transfers the energy produced by the contracted muscle. Most tendon injuries are repetitive strain injuries that require a stoppage in the activities that aggravate the tendon. This sounds like common sense but many people work through their pain in the hopes that time will heal the injury. Especially for a tendon, this is not the case; rest is imperative. Other than repetitive strain an aging body is a common cause of tendonitis and tendon related conditions. The reason for this is not well known but it could be related to decreasing blood and nutrient supply from changes in the aging blood vessels.

If you've damaged a tendon or have recurring tendonosis, you need therapy to heal properly. But what are your options; expensive, inconvenient and occasional therapy? Dangerous drugs? Surgery and a cast? You have a safe option, and it's called MendMeShop Therapeutic Ultrasound.

Personal Portable Ultrasound provides you with the tools necessary to relieve the pain of tendonitis and dramatically speed the healing. It provides you with the means to be more than diligent, allowing for a speedy and complete recovery! The faster and stronger you heal your tendons, the less chance there is for re-injury. The tendons are tough dense tissues that normally receive very little blood flow. This is largely why tendon injuries take so long to heal. When using radiant energy or ultrasound, the energy waves stimulate blood flow which speeds up healing and clears away the inflammation causing the pain.

Healing quickly is very important to avoiding re-injury and preventing scar tissue build up. In order to maintain full range of motion it is important to limit the formation of scar tissue as much as possible. Ultrasound enables you to heal faster, reducing your chance of developing scar tissue. Constant re-injury and healing causes the build up of scar tissue which seriously and permanently impairs your tendon. Scar tissue build up leads to a life long loss of flexibility in the area and an increased chance of re-injury. Simply, stiffness equals pain and pain equals stiffness. If you don't heal your tendon quickly and with minimal scar tissue, it will plague you for life.

To really speed up the effectiveness of the ultrasound it also 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!.

The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. In order to accomplish this rest and immobilization is a must. To control pain in the initial stages of the injury the application of cold therapy can help slow blood flow. The deep cold provided by a cold compression wrap slows cell function thereby reducing cellular break-down. Furthermore, because cold wraps serve to numb the nerves the wraps also reduce pain!

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.

Like our ultrasound, our cold compression wraps are the best quality product you will find anywhere. We have them for every part of the body. And like the ultrasound, we guarantee our wraps with our 60 day money back guarantee. If for any reason you're not happy with any product you purchase in our shop, you can send it back for a full refund.

Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy

You can help your body repair itself by speeding its natural healing process using an Inferno Wrap™. The Inferno Wrap's patented design delivers the most effective Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy you can find.

During normal activities, the movement promotes blood flow through our body. Our body responds to the movement by sending oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the muscles, joints, tendons and other soft tissue in the body.

When at rest, the blood flow to your tendons is greatly reduced. Unfortunately, when your tendon is injured it requires rest but it also needs the blood flow to promote the healing process. Since you can't work your tendon without danger of further injury, you need to stimulate the blood flow another way.

Our innovative Inferno Wrap™ gives you the best Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy available. The Inferno Wrap™ creates energy waves that stimulate blood flow by penetrating through the outer layers of your body. The energy waves reach deep into your muscles, tendons and cartilage, reducing your pain as they heal the inner tissue.

An Inferno Wrap™ gives you unparalleled blood flow stimulation to your injured tendon. You simply won't find a comparable product on the market. Other therapy products can not come close to offering the comfortable, contoured fit and targeted energy treatment an Inferno Wrap™ provides.

You will experience a soothing, penetrating warmth deep in the tissue as it works to stimulate your blood flow, we guarantee it. Now you can reduce your pain and heal yourself with the comfortable, light weight Inferno Wrap™.

The Inferno Wrap™ provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.

When your tendon has healed somewhat and it comes time for more aggressive rehabilitation, stretching and activity, Blood Flow Stimultation Therapy warms the muscles in the injured area which increases range of motion and allows for a safer more thorough stretch.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

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

Therapeutic Ultrasound heats and massages your soft tissue giving you three primary benefits. First, it increases blood flow in the treated area which speeds your body's natural healing process. Second, it reduces swelling and edema which are the main sources of pain. Third, ultrasound softens existing scar tissue and minimizes the build up of new scar tissue resulting in reduced pain while healing and greater flexibility once healing is complete.

Eucalyptus...
It's in our Gel!

Ultrasound can also be used to administer therapeutic medicines into the body. This is a process known as phonophoresis. Ultrasound with Phonophoresis is rapidly becoming more popular than Ultrasound Therapy alone.

Peppermint...
It's in our gel too!

Our MendMeShop Lavender Infusion Gel is the only topical therapeutic gel that is also a Phonophoretic Ultrasound Gel. It is made with natural medical ingredients including eucalyptus, peppermint, Bulgarian lavender and menthol. These effective ingredients have anesthetic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, decongestant, and circulatory stimulant properties. When applied topically and massaged into the skin, MendMeShop Lavender Infusion Gel relieves pain and speeds healing without any side-effects.

Cold Compression Therapy

Our cold compression wraps work by interrupting and slowing nerve and cell function in the area of your injured tendon. 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 our cold compression wraps slows cell function thereby reducing cellular break-down. Furthermore, because the cold wraps serve to numb the nerves, the wraps also reduce pain!

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 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.

Always allow the injured area to return to normal body temperature between hot and cold treatments by waiting 60-90 minutes before applying a different therapy.
