Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a form of tendinosis (chronic degeneration of the tendon).  It is an overuse injury that causes pain and tenderness on and around the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle (small bony part on the outside of your elbow). These tendons are located in your forearm and help to extend your wrist and fingers. The wear and tear on these tendons is a result of small tears in your tissue that don't heal properly. The inability of your tendon to heal properly causes it to deteriorate until the tissues become very thin, and eventually wear out. This condition will get worse over time if not dealt with properly. The main problem associated with tennis elbow is failed healing, not inflammation. In 75% of cases, tennis elbow occurs in the dominant arm. It affects about an equal number of men and women, generally between the ages of 35-65 years old. Tennis elbow is often confused with Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) another overuse injury. However, golfer's elbow causes pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow (the medial epicondyle) instead of the outside of the elbow. Tennis elbow is sometimes misdiagnosed as bursitis or arthritis. Alternate Names and Related ConditionsEpitrochlear bursitis, acute elbow tendonitis, olecranon bursitis, wii elbow, plaster's elbow, mechanic's elbow, painter's elbow, elbow strain. BFST - Using Your Body's Natural Healing SystemYour 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™ WorksInferno 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.  Cold Compression Freezie Wraps™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. 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 Ultrasound therapy is also a helpful tool for pain prevention of tendon 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 tendon 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. 
| Dear MendMeShop, I can't believe their customer service...you can tell they are persons, not machines, because, for example, she noticed that the same Bev wrote two different emails, one about adaptor one about metal once again" in one email, and "This is Sylvia once again from the MendMeShop" in another. Not canned, unless at a very high level! And they don't give a generic answer but one specific to your question....I like them! I have never before been so completely satisfied (and very pleasantly surprised) by the responses of any company's customer service rep as I am with you (and Sylvia). You have made it possible for me to gain the information and clarification I need to be comfortable making a decision. You have answered me in a courteous and professional way, instilling in me a confidence that I find important. You seem to be knowledgeable. And you really aren't giving me a hard-sell: you are confident in the quality of your product, and that, too, counts heavily for me. Rating: Beverley Noia           | ||||
