Dear MendMeShop, I have never been as happy with a product as I am with MendMeShop's Portable Ultrasound. The ultrasound took away my pain in my hands and my edema. I use it once a day and it's wonderful.
Every time I had a pulled muscle I had to go to the doctor and would end up in physical therapy where they would use an ultrasound machine (similar therapy as my new Portable Ultrasound). Getting ultrasound therapy from my physical therapist cost me a lot of money.
I also get side affects from the medications that I take for my joints in both hands, so I read my MendMeShop Portable Ultrasound Treatment Manual and started treatment on my hands right away. Now with regular ultrasound therapy maintenance on my hands they do not hurt any longer. Even the Edema in my ankles goes away when I treat with the ultrasound!
At-home ultrasound therapy with MendMeShop's unit has been best thing I have done for myself. I only wish I had ordered their unit many years ago.
Thank MendMeShop! Rating:  Larry Gluck
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.

Dear MendMeShop, To the Mend Me Shop People,
I came across your site online while trying to research how to deal with my badly strained achilles tendon. I ordered your portable ultrasound and 10 bottles of the necessary gel. I am thrilled with the results so far. The ultrasound wand is easy to use; the booklet was very informative and very professionally done. The gel is wonderfully soothing and the healing nature of its scent is a draw all by itself.
I have been using it for about two weeks now and the swelling in my tendon is greatly reduced and the redness is totally gone. I had been getting ultrasound treatments from my chiropractor, but only every other week as the cost was prohibitive. Even he thought it it was a great move on my part to supplement it with the Mend Me Shop product. As I am a cautious consumer, I had called your customer service department before I ordered, with questions. Amazingly, a person answered immediately. She was very knowledgeable and totally helpful. I am thrilled to have connected with MendMeShop and am very confident that your products will be an integral part of my healing! Thanks so much.

Littleton, CO Rating:  Susan Dear MendMeShop, I injured by rotator cuff initially in an ice hockey game. It was re-injured during a lacrosse game two weeks later. The pain was constant. I had trouble sleeping and most mornings would wake up with shoulder pain.
I tried just ice/heat treatments, rest, and a shoulder brace but it did not seem to be getting better or at least not quickly. My Mom checked on different treatments with the athletic trainer at her school and on the internet. Ultra-sound had been mentioned and she found the MendMeShop site.
We ordered the unit and it arrived in just under one week (which included Thanksgiving) and started using it right away. The pain decreased quickly. I was able to participate in December in a competitive lacrosse camp with very little pain. I continued treatments and am pretty much pain free.
I do use the unit after hockey and lacrosse as needed when my shoulder bothers me. The treatment usually eliminates the pain.
I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants to be pain free and heal quickly after a soft tissue injury. Rating:  J Whalen Dear MendMeShop, I recently ordered the Inferno Wrap and wanted to tell you how great it worked. I had a minor MCL tear and bursitis of the knee from a fall on ice in February, yes here in the Southern US, we do have ice sometimes and we don't know how to walk on it. Well, to make a long story short, I healed much faster and will recommend your product to others. Also, a representative from Mendmeshop called and asked how the product was working. This is unheard of in today's world. I never realized how long or involved a knee injury could be. Thank you for such a wonderful product. Rating:  Vivian Miller

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, 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.

Dear MendMeShop, Thank you for spending time answering my questions and concerns on the Knee Inferno Wrap and wrist products and how to use them. I appreciate that, and I am impressed with your company's personal availability to personally talk with customers. In a fast pace, seemingly no care, 'all out for my benefit' mentality in our society it is refreshing to know I can go on-line and there are people doing business who do care for their product and the people buying them.
I went on-line to find help in treating my very painful meniscus and other issues Arthroscopic surgery on my right knee, that were more severe that my left knee issues had been, so I could find help in speeding up my recovery and get back on my feet again. Having had the same surgery on my left knee only 6 months prior, I was not able to recover as fast as my left knee had not yet fully recovered enough to take the full load of both knees. The Dr. said nothing about recovery only that I could not even put toe weight on my right knee for 4 weeks. So, with my left knee still in recovery this made life extremely difficult. So much so, I had to go to a wheel chair so I would not ruin either of my knees or my back which is suffering from degenerative discs. My knee issues stem from aging and over-use over the years. They are just wearing out.
I am an active person and was not going to consign myself to a wheel chair for the rest of my life. I had no access to physical therapy treatments in my personal situation. So, I took the bull by the horns and got busy finding out what I could do to help myself recover faster and get back in action physically. And I found your company.
I started my personal quest on Internet, which is all I was able to do physically at the time, and found your company, MendMeShop.com. I read all your info and was impressed with what I read and felt comfortable that you were genuine and were out to help me fully recover. The fully guaranteed refund was a plus to me so that I would not spend a lot lf money for something that I would be stuck with and as well did me no good.
You also had a personal way to contact your company to discuss any concerns I might have in using it. You also had expedited mailing so that I could have your product in a few days so I could get started in my recovery. I was willing to pay the extra mailing cost to get the product faster. You really came through on your end and I had my Inferno Knee Wrap in just a few days. That really firmed up to me that you back up your claims about your product and that you truly cared about me and so I could get onto faster recovery sooner.
After receiving the Inferno Knee Wrap, I was having personal issues in how often to use the Knee Wrap and so I called you to help me with this. I felt that the knee wrap was helping me, but I was finding that I could not use it to the fullest degree the instructions mentioned. You helped me and told me to call you back. From your recommendations, I started experimenting on my own to see what would work for me and I found a workable solution for me personally. Each person is unique and what works for one person may not work for another. So, I recommend not giving up and returning this product until you find what works for you.
Because my knee issues are so severe, it will take longer than I want it to, but I am plugging away and using the Inferno Knee Wrap along with stationery bike exercise and I am seeing progress each day.
Thank you for being there when I needed help in recovery of Arthroscopic Knee Surgery. I appreciate you and your company.

Dear MendMeShop, 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. Rating:  Chris Wellman
