Ironman Competitor Regrets Not Purchasing Ultrasound Sooner Thanks for the follow up email from my ultrasound purchase. It is a miracle, and a quick one at that. I am an Ironman and suffered from IT Band Syndrome beginning in June. The pain was excruciating. Not only could I no longer run or bike, but I also suffered from merely walking. I've been to every doctor, tried every therapy and non-pharmaceutical treatment available. It has been 4 months since my last run. After using the ultrasound machine for a week, I ran yesterday for 20 minutes as a trial--the pain was minimal. As I continue with my therapy my only regret is that I did not make this purchase 4 months ago when I first came upon your website. Thank you so much! I can't wait to get back out on the road and now I know that day is right around the corner. L Towne Ironman Competitor, Virginia USA Rating:  Tennis Elbow Injury, Sacroilliac Injury I purchased an ultrasound unit 5 months ago for a sacral injury sustained in a fall in Jan 2010. After costly MRIs, injections, and oral steroids, I would only get temporary relief. The only thing that seemed to help was ultrasound at physical therapy 1-2 times a week. It was hard to keep PT appts with my busy work schedule. I "googled" sacral injury, and the MendMeShop ad appeared. I knew the unit would pay for itself in a short period of time when compared to expensive PT therapy. If the "3 times a day" is hindering anyone from buying it, do not worry.....Even if used once a day, you will feel improvement. I can now sit for long periods of time with little discomfort. I am also an avid gardener and strained my elbows last fall. I would wake up several times at night with numb arms. I used the directions for tennis elbow and rotator cuff symptoms, and can now get a good night's sleep. AND, this is just with one treatment at bedtime. Thanks again MendMeShop! Sitting and Sleeping Great in Minnesota, J M, Minnesota USA Rating: Multiple Torn Tendons and Ligaments in Left Ankle I have begun to use the Ultrasound device and have had great results so far. I have had five orthopedic surguries in the past 18 months and use the device on several areas. I had two torn ligaments and two torn tendons in my left left ankle. I went through physical therapy for over two months but did not find anyway to reduce the swelling. After the first use of the device on Friday February 5th, I found the swelling to be greatly reduced. Now I can't use the device three times a day on all the areas that need attention, but once a day is working just fine. My wife has begun to use the device also and has noticed a difference with her tennis elbow. We couldn't be happier at this point. D. Vertuno, Arizona USA Rating: Quality Medical Products That Work I love your products. I have recovered more strength in my rotator cuffs in both shoulders in 3 weeks than I had in the 4 months prior to purchasing the ultrasound device and Inferno Wrap. Thank You so much for selling quality medical products that work. J. Swingle Rating: Great Products! I am a runner and have been injured the last two months with a leg tendon injury. I purchased both the ultra sound and the leg inferno wrap about three weeks ago. I am now seeing great results where presently I can jog easy on it. So I am making progress. I will continue using both products as I suspect I will continue seeing results where I can race again. Great product! Dennis, Indiana USA Rating: The MendMeShop Ultrasound and Gel Work! The Ultrasound HT-901, with the MendMeShop gel, works! I've suffered with bursitis in my right shoulder for over a year and a half. As you're aware, it can be quite painful. After the first day's treatment, the pain subsided substantially. Thereafter, I have been treating it only as it flares up. The treatments are being applied less frequently. Thank you for a fine product. N. Kai Rating: MendMeShop Played A Key Role In A Fast Recovery I purchased all three of your products, Inferno, Freezie, and Ultrasound , because on August 28th my life changed, I was in Florida at the beach taking my last skimboarding run when I heard the dreaded pop and hit from behind. I had in fact after an MRI 2 weeks later ruptured my Achilles Tendon 100%. I was devastated...being 50, an athlete, former track record holder, my life came to a complete standstill. I found your site from an Achilles site with Blogs and I am very grateful. (now) My current condition is nothing short of a miracle. I had surgery two and half weeks ago , surgery was open to repair tendon and was one hour 20 minutes. I was placed in a hard cast with toes down for 1 week, I observed all rules and used crutches 100%. After 1 week cast was removed then I was back in my air cast, I could put absolutely no pressure whatsoever on the repaired leg for 4 days. I received your products and immediately used all 3 in the correct order the inferno wrap and freezie are my favorites, I just drove home 200 miles with the inferno wrap on via a 12 volt inverter. Last Saturday night I went out in a flip flop with the injured foot to just get used to having some weight on it. This past week i experimented with different shoes and sneakers and when I attended my second PT session all the swelling and bruising was gone and I had great side to side motion still working on stretching the achilles. Yesterday I drove with sneakers on and walked 1.5 miles on my sons college campus with no crutch, can, etc. Today I wore docksiders and drove home another 200 miles, I am now laying in bed with the Inferno on my left foot which has the intact achilles but it is sore due to disruption of weight from injury, at the same time I have the Freezie on my repaired leg. After reading all the stories on the internet and talking with people as well as knowing of the seriousness of this injury, I believe your products have played a key role to getting me back on my feet and my life headed back to normal 1000 times faster than the average achilles rupture patient. Thank You so much for great products and superior service as well as unprecedented guarantee. I will let you know when I am walking normal without any limp Hunziker, Virginia Rating: IDEAL PRODUCTS! I have been using the Ultrasound Therapy System and the Back/Hip Inferno Wrap in treating a hamstring tendon injury very high in the hip at the insertion point. I have had a 35% improvement in just 9 days of using both units. They are very practical and ideal for home use. Chris, Idaho USA Rating: Chronic Tendinitis, Ligament Injury Treatment I don't think I can say enough about this. My daughter and I have both dealt for years with the aftereffects of separate car accidents, now aggravated by the job we do working on boats. The ultrasound system has been a lifesaver for us. After a few days of use, we both noticed a difference, both in my daughter's ligament damage, which we bought it for, and in helping with the muscle strains and tendinitis that we both have. Nothing else we've found has helped as much as this. It's helped us enough that a friend we work with is now planning on getting one for himself. It's given us both the relief we've been looking for, and I don't think we can say thank you enough. Tristan, Washington USA Rating:  Calf Muscle Injury Much Better After 3 Weeks I played basketball in college back in Connecticut and now am 43 and trying to get back in to shape and back on the basketball court for about 2 years now and couldn't due to adhesions. All is slowly getting better. I've been using the ultrasound device for about 3 weeks now and was able to play my first basketball game with out my calf muscle adhesions acting up. I was doubtful but hopeful at first but I now see it actually works! Thanks again. Eric Tetrault, NM Rating: After Researching Ultrasound, I Tried It and I Now I Know It Works I have adhesive capsulitus and supraspinata calcification. I was advised by the specialist to rest the joint and let it heal itself with little to no recommendation re exercise (say 6/12/18 months!!!). After seeing an osteopath and researching the internet I saw your site re ultrasound and asked my physio his opinion. He loaned me a commercial unit and after three days treatment (three times per day) with exercise in the shower my inflamation was reduced and range of movement radically increased. Hence the order from Mendmeshop and I have used the Ultrasound unit since receipt. I am now back at golf with no pain from the golf swing and virtually full range of motion of the arm. Have also used (the Ultrasound) to radically reduce soft tissue soreness around the ankle bone and knee hence I am very pleased with the Mendmeshop Ultrasound unit and the service provided by Mendmeshop prior to purchase. I bought two and I am taking the second unit across the country for my sons Xmas present as he has used Ultrasound to help with back problems. Paul, Tweed Heads South NSW Rating: Remarkable Improvement In My Shoulders After working for 22 years at a tree nursery, I developed rotator cuff problem in both shoulders because of the repetitious movement it takes to grade the seedlings on a table. Then I fell a couple of years ago, tearing the left rotator cuff. I have tried things like ice, special exercises, and ibuprofen. The ice and ibuprofen numbed the pain for awhile, then I would get a flare-up every time I would try to do a little yard work, such as raking. Afterwards, I would be unable to raise my arm for several days at a time, each time getting worse. I worried all the time about surgery, but knew it was not an option because of lack of insurance. One day, I had an idea to just type in rotator cuff into the Google search engine to see if I could find some new help. I just happened to come across the article about home ultrasound, and was happy to read that it could actually heal rotator cuff problems. This was back in March of this year. I wanted it then, but could not afford the price at the time. Just by coincidence, I checked the sight again a short time ago, and LO and Behold! It was on sale! Yes, I was going to get me one of those kits because I could afford it now! I was so thankful to get this deal. A prayer answered! Well, I have been using it faithfully and have noticed a remarkable improvement in my shoulders. I can even sleep on my side now, without getting up in alot of pain. I also have arthritis in my hands, especially in the right trigger finger. This is being a little more stubborn, but is not as chronic as before. I have learned to use the ultrasound more on the soft part of my hand, rather than over the bone area, because absorption is better. Bonnie, Plains MT USA Rating: | Advanced Treatments For TendonitisDoctors and Trainers Have Been Using These Tools It Is Now Possible To:
...but only if you treat your injured tendon correctly!  There are options for a vastly improved level of treatment for tendon injuries and even chronic (long term) pain from old tendon and muscle injuries. For sufferers of tendinitis or tenosynovitis it is not necessary to face months or years of horrible pain. Professional athletes with the same injuries as the general public are typically back in a matter of days while the typical person's injury lingers on forever. With proper treatment, anyone can heal a tendon injury twice as fast and significantly reduce the pain associated with the injury. Dear MendMeShop, Thank you so much for your products and for your help! I had tendonitis in my elbow for years. At first it came and went but after a while it was always there. At times it was truly debilitating and I would end up missing work. Then, my doctor recommended your site. I was pain free 10 days after receiving your elbow wraps and ultrasound device. It was amazing! I still get flare-ups from time to time (I think it's work related) but when I do I just give myself a few treatments and it always goes away. Thank you so very much for these great products. Rating: Stacey Button - Pheonix, AZ Tendinitis problems are some of the most common ailments there are. If not treated properly they can persist indefinitely. The longer your tendonitis lasts, the harder it is to get rid of and the more scar tissue your body develops fighting the injury. If you don't heal your tendonitis quickly and completely, you may be subject to a lifetime of recurrent pain and decreased performance.  Tendons receive relatively low blood flow, so healing can take a long time. Once one or more of your tendons are injured it becomes very difficult to recover 100%. It is almost impossible to keep from re-straining the tendon because even in a sling or brace our injured tendon can still be strained over and over. It's just not possible to stop everything and rest the injury properly. What ends up happening is we continually reinjure the tendon through our daily activities further setting back our recovery. If you have tendonitis, it's very important to heal it quickly and completely. If you don't, it may plague you forever. You can't take a tendon injury lightly. Left on its own, a torn tendon may never fully recover. In fact, if you mask the pain with pain killers and continue your regular routine you may damage your tendon for the rest of your life. 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 safe options! Tendon Re-injury Must be Avoided at All CostsConstant re-injury (you know when it's happening, you can feel the pain) needs to be avoided at all costs. Obviously, it delays the healing process, but what's worse is that every re-injury and additional healing cycle increases the amount of scar tissue that builds up in the area of your original injury (the achilles tendon for instance). Scar tissue is hard, inflexible, and tough to get rid of. The more scar tissue that develops, the more you lose the range of motion in the affected limb. The more scar tissue that develops, the more likely you will wind up with chronic pain or arthritis (permanently injured). Scar tissue means that your joint will not perform as well as it once did and it makes it much more prone to injury again later on. If you have inflammation in your tendon injury which is likely, it's very important to heal it quickly and completely. You must avoid the build up of scar tissue. If you don't, the injury may plague you forever. This is where pro athletes have the advantage. They use therapeutic tools to speed their healing so that they are 100% healed before they resume their sport. Even once they return to the sport, they use these tools constantly to heal any recurring tendon or ligament damage before it can build into something big. For professional athletes, having the right tools means all the difference. For the rest of us having the right tools should be just as important. What You Need to Heal a Tendon Injury:
These three treatments are the fundamental elements for rapid Tendon repair. These tools are what the top professional athletes use on injuries every single day. That's why they're playing grueling professional sports days or weeks after an injury. Until recently, if you weren't a professional athlete, you couldn't even get these treatments at home. The rest of us would get them in expensive physio therapy 3 times per week for weeks on end. The reason Pro athletes recover in days while the rest of us hurt for weeks is because professional athletes get these treatments 3 times each day instead of 3 times each week. Tendons are tough dense fibrous tissue that naturally receive very little blood flow. During normal use, activity promotes blood flow through our body sending oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the tendons and surrounding tissue. This is blood flow that your tendon doesn't receive when at rest. This is largely why tendon injuries take forever to heal. As one of the most active parts in your body, the constant motion is what keeps the blood flowing through that area. When you rest, like you have to, the lack of activity and the edema (swelling) restricts your blood flow when you need it the most. You need to reduce the swelling and stimulate the blood flow so your tendon gets the nutrition and oxygen it needs to properly heal. An Inferno Wrap® is the most effective way of promoting blood flow when your body is at rest, but you need to get the swelling down first. A Cold Compression Freezie Wrap® reduces inflammation and soothes the damaged tissue. The MendMeShop Portable Ultrasound Device clears away damaged tissue and reduces the build up of scar tissue. When used in combination, these three modalities provide all the necessary treatments to reduce the pain of your injured rotator cuff and promote fast and complete healing of the should joint. If you have a bad tendon injury or tendon related injury such as tenosynovitis, you can heal quickly if you treat your injury correctly. That means using the right therapies every single day. Here's how they work: Deep Tissue Therapeutic Inferno Wraps® = During normal daily activities, movement promotes blood flow through our body. Our body responds to the activity by sending oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the muscles, tendons, ligaments and surrounding tissue. When your tendon is injured and at rest, the blood flow to that area is greatly reduced. But, when your body is injured, it really needs the blood flow to promote the healing process. Since you can't work the area without danger of further injury, you need to stimulate the blood flow another way. Our innovative Inferno Wraps® give you the best BFST® (Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy) available. The Inferno Wrap® proprietary Energy Web® will stimulate blood flow by penetrating through the layers of your skin. The energy waves reach deep into your muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartilage, reducing your pain as they heal the inner tissue.  The Inferno Wrap® for Soft Tissue Injury Treatment is truly a revolutionary device. Its soft flexible design molds itself to the contours of your body, providing you with a perfectly fitted, easy-to-use Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ tool. You have to try one to appreciate the ease and comfort. The Inferno Wrap® is made of durable, medical-grade neoprene. With many models designed for every part of the body, they stay in place, are flexible and contour to the shape of your body. The strategically placed pocket holds the Energy Web® component around your injury while focusing the soothing and healing energy waves where you need them most..... - directly into the area and depth of your damaged tissue! As an FDA Registered Medical Device, the Inferno Wrap® gives you unparalleled blood flow stimulation energy. You simply won't find a comparable product on the market. Other therapy products can not come close to offering the soft, contoured fit and targeted energy treatment an Inferno Wrap® provides. You will feel the soothing, deep penetrating warmth as it works to stimulate your blood flow, we guarantee it. Now you can reduce your pain and heal your tendinits or tenosynovitis injury anywhere with the comfortable, light weight Inferno Wrap®. Back to Playing Tennis! I would very much like to write a review for your wraps since they have been such a help to me. I am an avid tennis player that has this year suffered from both elbow and achilles tendonitis. For years I've been the best in my club but once my tendonitis set in I just couldn't compete. I tried creams and pain killers and bands but they didn't get me better. I was beginning to fear I'd never recover. Then I ordered a thermal wrap and cold wrap from you and things have really turned around. The tightness and inflammation seem to be pretty much gone and I can't say enough about how much the cold wrap helped for pain - it was like it was sucking the pain right out of my ankle - truly amazing! Too bad for the rest of the club. They thought I was out for the season and now I'm back! K. Stevens, Tampa USA Rating: Inferno Wraps® are perfectly safe, natural, and very effective. In fact, when there are concerns over safety that may restrict the use of other treatment options, an Inferno Wrap® is often still a viable solution. Many orthopedic surgeons tell their patients to order our Inferno Wraps® after surgery (even for dislocations) - it is the perfect treatment to speed healing and recovery from tendon reattachment or repair surgery and I guarantee there is nothing better! Just be sure not to start until the stitches are gone and the swelling is down. (use the Freezie Wrap® to get the swelling down first) While the active Energy Web® stimulates blood flow, the area feels warm and comfortable throughout the treatment. The unit is light weight and portable with a plug in adapter that you can use at home, at work, or anywhere. (Click here for more details on how Inferno Wraps® work) Cold Compression Freezie Wraps® =
The GOLD Standard Doctors, therapists, and other health care professionals have been recommending RICE (R - Rest, I - Ice, C - Compression, E - Elevation) to treat soft tissue injuries for years. However, recently, it has become clear that ice is too cold and can cause ice burns (cryoburn), damaging your skin. Doctor's know that you need COLD to reduce your pain and swelling, there just hasn't be another way to deliver cold to a soft tissue injury without the risk of ice burns. So if RICE isn't right, what is? We call it RCCE (R - Rest, C - Cold, C - Compression, E - Elevation). Simply reducing the temperature of your soft tissue by a few degrees is enough to get the COLD therapy you need, without the risk of cryoburn from ice or gel packs chilled in the freezer to frozen temperatures. Our Freezie Wraps® are chilled in the fridge and they give you all of the same benefits of RICE therapy – reduced pain and swelling - with NO RISK. This eliminates the potential for skin damage during treatment associated with all freezer wraps.  The Freezie Wrap® is the best combination compression and cold pack for injuries like a strained or pulled hamstring, partial hamstring tears, a groin pull or even post-surgery recovery (just be sure to talk with your physician about when to start using it after surgery). They offer compression, support and cold therapy all at the same time. There are no other cold gel packs out there that can be chilled in the fridge AND still remain cold for the duration of your treatment. It's the ColdCure Technology® of our gel formulation that makes the Freezie Wrap® gel pack unique. In addition, every Freezie Wrap® is made of high quality, medical grade neoprene that gives you superior, adjustable compression. Our Freezie Wraps® fit perfectly and are extremely durable. They support the muscles and tendons of the treatment area while gently applying pressure to your injured tendon at the same time. The unique design with a properly shaped non-migrating gel pack keep the cold over the entire injured area. Simply pop them into the fridge when not in use and you can re-use them time and again. There's nothing magic about RCCE; RRCE works and is the safe alternative to RICE for treating your tenonitis injury. Our cold compression wraps are made of the highest quality materials available. They fit perfectly, stay in place, are extremely durable, and are filled with a special non-migrating gel pack. What is non-migrating gel? All other cold packs simply use a plastic bag partially filled with soft cold gel which moves under pressure. What is sure to happen with those cheap designs is that 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. You need to apply the pressure to the injured area and you need the cold gel to stay in place in spite of the pressure. You need the compression and you need to keep the gel in place. Our non-migrating cold packs ensure that is what happens. We have the only products on the market that can make this claim. Ankle Freezie Wrap is Key to Successfully Treating Acute Achilles Tendonitis. I had suffered from an acute form of achilles tendonitis for around 8 months. The pain caused me a lot of grief over that time. I have been using the MendMeShop ultrasound unit for 2 months now and I am pretty well pain free now. In fact, my pain is basically gone. I use it regularly and before I exercise. After finishing exercise, I use the Freezie Ankle Wrap I bought from you guys and then I use the ultrasound after that. In addition, my wife was recently suffering from hip pain and wondered what she could do about it. The manual stated the ultrasound could be used over the area, so we applied a few treatments. She responded very positively, her pain practically disappeared. John, Alabama Rating: 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! In the early days or weeks of your injury the inflammation is partly your body's reaction to try to immobilize the injured area. Unfortunately this inflammation also strains the surrounding tissue and causes pain. Cold compression wraps provide support and reduce inflammation giving your body the support it needs without the usual pain. We guarantee you, you will be surprised how good it feels! Like all of our products, our Freezie Wraps® are the best quality products you will find anywhere. We have them for every part of the body, not just your hamstring. And like all our products, 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.

Different kinds of ultrasound have many uses. Ultrasound in one form is used as a safe method for examining unborn babies, examining the quality of a weld on metal pipes, as a skin rejuvenation tool for 'anti-aging' and in another form, it is used as a superior therapeutic tool for healing injured tissue and breaking down scar tissue. However, the same machine isn't used for all these applications. For each special use, a different and unique kind of ultrasound machine is required. For your injured tendon, you require an ultrasound machine that is specifically designed for treatment of soft tissue injury. The wrong kind of ultrasound isn't going to cure your tendonitis. Until recently, proper ultrasound therapy was only available in doctors' offices and clinics. However, thanks to our innovative team of doctors and engineers, you can now benefit from this powerful and precise technology in the privacy and comfort of your home. It's no longer necessary to attend inconvenient and costly appointments. High quality therapeutic ultrasound is available using a MendMeShop® ultrasound unit. Typically, treatments at a clinic happen twice per week to save you the inconvenience of frequent trips to the clinic. Really though, you would get maximum benefit from getting ultrasound treatments 3 times each day and every day. Treatments at a clinic every day are too inconvenient. Besides, no government or private medical plan could afford the costs of sending you for treatments 3 times per day every day. So, even though your injured body can be treated, you won't get even a fraction of the therapy you really need. With our ultrasound kit you can get all the ultrasound therapy you need in your own home saving you loads of both time and money. As we discussed above, many physical injuries take longer to heal because we can't rest long enough to let ourselves heal. 
We have to go to work, take care of family, or we just plain want to get out and do things. Staying in bed for 2 weeks just isn't an option. Besides prolonging your suffering, constant re-injury leads to the build up of scar tissue on the injured tendon and non-uniform healing. Then, even when you're healed, your shoulder joint doesn't work as well as it used to. You end up with reduced flexibility, less strength, limited range of motion, and potentially life-long problems. Ultrasound treatments can reduce the amount of scarring in your tendon. In fact, ultrasound treatments are regularly used by doctors and physical therapists to break down existing scar tissue. With a home ultrasound kit from MendMeShop, you heal more quickly and more completely. With our ultrasound kit your tendon heals with less scarring and that is a critical goal. Our ultrasound is actually better |

Tendon Injury Facts:
When the tendon gets inflamed it is known as tendonitis, and when the tendons are chronically overused, it may lead to microscopic tears in the collagen matrix and causes a gradual weakening of the tissues.
Achilles tendonitis is a common injury among runners, as the Achilles tendon is responsible for helping you lift off the ground with each stride.
As computers become ever more important elements of the work place and everyday life, incidents of wrist tendonitis are on the rise.
Oral Medications can mask the pain but do not aid in the healing of tendonitis. Anti-inflammatories and pain killers can cause tendonitis to worsen.
Ice and Compression are the easiest and most effective treatments for tendonitis.
Dear MendMeShop,
I orded my Ultrasound on 1-27-2010, received it on 2-2-2010. I have used it four times already and can tell a definite improvement in my hand. I was turned on to your website and product by my physical therapist who is treating me for a hand injury. We start each session with ultrasound and then other exercises and messages. She told me that the healing process could be improved by using an ultrasound at home, so I purchased one and I am very pleased. My wife has planter fasciitis and I have carpel tunnel, so the unit will be well used at my house. Thank you for your prompt delivery of a great product. I will definitely recommend you to others.

Dear MendMeShop,
Dear MendMeShop, I am using the ultrasonic device everyday 3 times and it is helping me! When I received it last Thursday, December 17th, 2010. I first read the booklet in English and underlined certain words, then used it as directed. I thought I was cured! The pain eased up and I could put my elbow in two other postitions I had been unable to. But! Alas, I came to realize that I must continue on to get total relief. The man I talked to on the 9th of December when I called was very good. I just want to say "Thank you for explaining the cold wrap was not the answer and would only give temporary relief." If you should get other calls from my area - you will know why! The "word" is out! Sincerely, Gayla

Dear MendMeShop,
Dear "Aid My Tendon", I am so happy I found your company when I did an "achilles tendon" search on the internet. The kit has been a Godsend and I can use it in my own home and when it is convenient for me. So far it has given me amazing results. When it starts to flare up again (usually because I have worn the "wrong" shoes) I just go to work on it with the Inferno Wrap followed by the Ultrasound treatment. Thanks for making these products available to the public. Yours truly, Glenna

Dear MendMeShop,
Hi Paul, In the Spring of 2008 I was using a gasoline powered weed trimmer without a shoulder support strap and developed a tendonitis in my right elbow where the weight of the trimmer was carried. I used ice packs and heating pads but little healing took place. I went to the Doctor and he sent me to a physical therapist who performed three weeks of ultrasound two times per week and some PT exercises. My elbow was not getting much better after 3-4 months post injury. Allow me to digress, I remembered that many years ago at our company health center a nurse trained me to use an ultrasound machine for a foot tendon problem called plantar fasciitis. I used this machine at least 15 times and after that my foot problem disappeared and never returned. Therefore, I concluded that an insufficient number of treatments were used on my elbow and I started looking on the internet to purchase an ultrasound device for myself. I came upon the Mend-Me-Shop Website. I purchased the unit an began using it 2-3 times per day per protocol. After 3-4 weeks my tendonitis was gone. It has not come back. Since that time, I have used it on Tendonitis in my right hand that I injured moving a refrigerator and my left elbow and arm which was strained using a gasoline power hedge trimmer. In both these instances your pulsed ultrasound device completely healed my tendon injury within a three month time period with no recurrence. I did not use the device continuously during that period but allowed for some weeks of no treatment before repeating the protocol. I have used this device now for two years plus and it seems very reliable - a quality piece of equipment. You can be sure that when I travel, I travel with this equipment. My only suggestion is that you design a cushioned carry bag accessory for this device and a bottle of gel that could be easily taken on trips. Thanks for all your help and the conversation.

Dear MendMeShop,
I wanted to take a moment to Thank You and to let you know the fantastic success I have had with your Ultrasound! I'VE FOUND IT TO BE A REMARKABLE PRODUCT !! After 18 months of knee pain, stiffness, and medical attention, I have gained definite flexibility and increased comfort from using the Ultrasound three times a day. After many years of playing tennis I walked off the court with knee problems that braces could not help. A MRI found complex tearing of the medial meniscus with severe medial arthrosis. Follow-up with orthopedists and cortizone shots provided temporary relief, but I returned to limping within three months. Surgery was recommended but I opted for physical therapy. I was hoping to seek ultrasound treatment through PT as I have had this treatment for a torn tendon in my ankle, the result of a handball injury 20 years ago. I could find no therapists who utilize this treatment in my current central Virginia area. After 60 years of playing sports, strains and pains, yet no surgery, I took to the Internet for a last-ditch effort. My search led me to the Mend Me Shop and this great little wand. In just two weeks I can walk without limping, get in and out of a chair without moaning and I'm certain I will survive without surgery. Yep, I'm hoping to be back on the courts in the spring, maybe I'm not old enough to know better. Anyway, I'm convinced that the ULTRASOUND is an effective, reliable and easy to administer treatment. I would certainly recommend it to others who are experiencing the type to problems that it is recommended to treat. Thanks again for the Ultrasound and to the MendMeShop.
