Preventing Toe DeformitiesIt is always better to prevent toe deformities rather than try to fix them after they happen, however that is not always the situation. Toe deformities can be difficult to prevent as your symptoms often start long after you've had the condition. In any case, there are a number of things you can do to keep yourself healthy and prevent further damage. Wear comfortable, adjustable, low-heeled and roomy shoes that allow your toes to move freely. If purchasing new shoes leave a 1/2 inch space between your longest toe and the inside of the shoe; remember to buy them in the late afternoon, as your feet swell during the day. Properly sized footwear made out of breathable and flexible materials will also help prevent against corns, calluses and bunions (try to avoid vinyl or plastic).  The way you walk can increase your risk of a toe deformity. If you find you wear out the soles of your shoes on one side, you may be a candidate for corrective footwear, orthotics or other foot devices. Check with a foot specialist to be sure. If you start to feel sensitive areas on your feet or toes or the development of a corn, callus or bunion use protective pads to cushion the area. Regular endurance activities and specific exercises that stretch and strengthen the muscles and tendons in the bottom of your feet will help to keep your muscles balanced and your body healthy. Follow this by gently massaging your feet after activities or long periods of standing to ease any tension in your feet. Pair this with a balanced diet to ensure optimum health. 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. How An Inferno Wrap™ Works
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.  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 the Inferno Wrap™ Personal Therapy System. When you're on the go, and not near an electrical outlet, take advantage of the "wear anywhere" concept of our hot/cold wraps - the highest rated wraps in the industry. 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 just spoke to you on the phone in regard to my results in the use of the Inferno Knee Wrap and the Ultrasound I received about 3 weeks ago. I cannot believe how fast my knees are responding. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis several years ago and was told I would probably need knee replacement in a few years. I just took Advil, Aleve, Chondroitin, Glucosamine, MSM to help limit the discomfort.( I will add that I have ordered a number of supplements that promised the end of knee pain but they have not worked). I have had the famous steroid injections that helped for a few weeks. I have been riding my stationary bike up to 30 minutes a day (about 3-4 times per week) since November. In November my left knee swelled to twice its size and I could hardly walk. I saw an Orthopedic Sports Physician and was given an injection after the MRI and x-rays confirmed I had a Baker’s Cyst and a slightly torn meniscus (Do not know how I tore it). I did the ice and heat treatment and Aleve (800 mg every 6 hours). The swelling went down and discomfort was not as bad. I could not sit or stand for any length of time without my knees hurting and being very stiff. The physician recommended surgical repair. I was not ready for that yet so I did not do anything until March when I scheduled knee surgery. The Orthopedic Surgeon stated he could not promise to get rid of the pain and I did not need knee replacement yet. He also said at my age, 63, I do not have enough blood flow to the knee to heal the meniscus tear. I prepared myself for surgery but then started thinking there had to be another answer since I would still have pain in my knees. I Googled natural healing of meniscus tear and MendMeShop opened up and I read about the Inferno Knee Wrap to increase blood flow to the knees and also the Ultrsound to help heal the meniscus tear. I called the number on the web page and spoke to 2 very informative people. I was assured if I was not satisfied with the products I was ordering, I could return them for a full refund. I also read several testimonials and felt it was worth the investment. If the next few weeks go as well as the past 3 weeks, I should be down to 1 treatment per day and not have the stiff knees I have had after sitting or standing for an extended period of time. Thank you MendMeShop. I look forward to increased activity so I can keep up with the 7 grandchildren that keep us busy. I give the Inferno Knee Wrap and the Ultrasound 5 stars!!!!.
