Dear MendMeShop, Two years ago, after returning to the gym for the first time in over a decade, I developed intense lower back pain which radiated into my left hip and leg. I also developed snapping hip syndrome. After many expensive visits to a chiropractor and physical therapist, I gained some relief, but still experienced constant low level pain in the injured areas with episodes of intense debilitating pain which interfered with my sleep and work. After searching online for alternative and cost effective self treatment methods, I discovered your website and purchased your Ultrasound Therapy System, Back/Hip Inferno Wrap and Back/Hip Freezie Wrap. Within a short period of time of using these three products, I noticed a huge reduction in pain. Two months later, the pain is barely noticeable, the snapping hip syndrome is an unpleasant memory and I feel that significant long term healing of chronic injuries is taking place. I absolutely LOVE your products, and enthusiastically recommend them to everyone I meet who is experiencing similar pain issues. Kudos to Paul and everyone in your customer service department which is beyond compare in terms of knowledge, promptness and genuine concern for your customers! Rating:  Stephen Williams
More Tendon Facts:
Ultrasound can speed tendonitis recovery significantly.
A fully ruptured Tendon REQUIRES surgery. It will not heal on its own.
Except for a fully ruptured tendon, Tendonitis can almost always be cured without surgery.
Left untreated, tendonitis can be extremely debilitating and lead to life long complications.
Continually using your Tendon while it is injured will lead to a worse injury.
To Heal as fast as possible: Rest Use a Cold Compression Wrap Get Therapeutic Ultrasound Treatment Avoid Pain Killers
Dear MendMeShop, I simply cannot believe what a miracle this has done for me helping relieve severe back pain due to a bad fall . I could not get relief and tried so many things including never ending doctors visits that said nothing more could be done at the time except rest and pain pills. I needed to work and to keep on my feet not going to bed to rest or take pills that totally disrupted my thinking.
When I happened to find this ad quite by coinsidence I figured I might as well try it as the doctors visits were getting so expensive and I was getting no relief.
The first little while seemed like not much was happening except that I was getting a bit of relief. Then I started using the theraphy system 3 times a day as was recommended. I could not believe that within a month or so I was relieved of the severe pain I had in my back and shoulders. Not only did I get pain relief but the muscle mobility started to come back like never before.
This system is the absolute miracle that I never expected to find. I never want to be without it again. Even though the major problem is being relieved there are days of tension that need some help and this system takes care of that quickly. Rating:  Louise Narvick Dear MendMeShop, Dear Paul,
Thank you very much for sending me the answers. I can tell this device was really helpful. After 3 weeks of suffering it has cured my knees within a week.
Rating:  Zsofia Trombitas Dear MendMeShop, 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. Rating:  John -

Peroneal Tendonitis, Peroneal Tenosynovitis
There are a number of tendons in the foot which helps control movement while you are mobile (walking, running). The two major tendons that go around the outside of the ankle are called the peroneal tendons. They are important tendons because they balance the ankle and the back of the foot and prevent the foot from turning inwards repetitively, causing lateral (inversion) ankle sprains. Overuse and injury of these tendons causes weakness and mobility dysfunction. Normally, these tendons pass behind the bone on the outside of the ankle (fibula). In some instances, injury can cause the natural restraining mechanism to fail and allow the tendons to slip over the bone (Peroneal tendon dislocation). They are slightly weaker than the muscles and tendons on the inside of the ankle and are prone to injury as the ankle turns, rolls or becomes sprained.
Peroneal Tendon Dislocation / Tearing
Tearing or dislocation can occur in one or both of these tendons. This leads to pain, swelling, sensitivity and a sense of instability behind the outside of the ankle. They can also pop out of the supporting ligaments that hold them in place (a dislocation); once this occurs, continuous or recurrent dislocation and tearing is inevitable without immediate attention and repair. Stitching and at the worst, tendon replacement may be required for patients suffering from torn or dislocated peroneal tendon(s).

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 am a RNA (12 years now) who suffered a neck / shoulder strain injury about 6 months ago. Much of my work involves heavy lifting of patients that are unable to assist themselves, and I can attest that eventually the strain catches up with you. I was advised by one of our doctors to visit MendMeShop.com and I am thrilled to say that this company really wanted to help! I've never ordered online before, so I called the customer service line and order the ultrasound unit with extra gel. After about 1 week of my husband treating my shoulder and back, I found that I am finally getting a good night sleep and I'm no longer worried that I'll have to take a medical leave. I want to thank you for not only helping me, but also giving me the ability to continue my career.

Dear MendMeShop, The ultrasound portable device was a great treatment for my aching back. I used to walk like a duck. The doctors didn't find anything broken but it hurt at every step. I had given up on working, sleeping, and dancing. I used the device on my back and was able to walk in high heels like a young woman again.

Dear MendMeShop, I am a Registered Nurse who works straight night shifts and I have had chronic neck, bilateral shoulder and arm pain intermittently for 3 years. I have seen a chiropractor, a neurologist, and physical therapist. I have tingling and numbness in my arms and hands, especially when I push on the pressure points near my elbows. In fact, most or all of the pressure point in my neck, shoulders, and arms hurt when pressed/massaged. The neurologist said it is probably cervical strain, the nerve conduction test was negative. I just saw my primary physician today and she has referred me back to the neurologist to redo the nerve test because I am starting to drop things. I have tried NSAIDs, massage, tens, heating packs, ice packs, stretching exercises, and traction.
The only treatment that took the pain and numbness away instantly and thorougly has been MendMeShop Ultrasound massage therapy. Rating:  Cheri -
