Letters From Our Customers:

I have fibromyalgia and have tried everything, so I was skeptical when my chiropractor recommended that I try the Ultrasound unit available at MendMeshop. But after 3 days of treatment on my lower back, I noticed a difference - I wasn't as stiff and I could walker further than I have been able to in years! I now treat my back once per day and have started working on my neck too. My kids have even mentioned that I'm smiling more now!

I would very much like to write a review for your cold 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 radiant kit 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!

I have been suffering from a torn rotator cuff for 4 months. I have been seeing a professional physiotherapist for three of these months who said this injury will take about a year to heal. I decided to try a friend's therapy kit for use between visits, hoping for lots but not expecting much. I was truly amazed! I experienced as much healing in 3 weeks after using your products as I did in the first 3 months of therapy alone. I rarely feel the pain anymore and am able to use my arm normally. What an amazing difference! I have my own kit now and should hopefully be done treating my shoulder within another few weeks. I can't believe the difference!
Thank You,

With the many portable ultrasound machines now circulating through internet stores, I was very impressive with the high quality of this portable ultrasound machine. It provides pain relieving ultrasound therapy with an informative manual and all natural ultrasound gel. The MendMeShop ultrasound unit effectively treats muscle, tissue, tendon and bone pain. I think this device can improve the quality of life for many suffering from chronic and acute injuries. Instead of paying to use an ultrasound machine at the chiropractor or physical therapist, now you can get the same benefits DAILY in the comfort of your own home. I highly recommend MendMeShop's products for all your therapeutic ultrasound needs

I had an opportunity to use a Thermotex™ device after I broke my leg. The doctor expected my cast to be on for 8 weeks and after 4 weeks I went for a check up. He did the X-rays and found that the cast could come off and that it had healed much quicker than he had anticipated. The Thermotex™ device virtually took the pain away after using it everyday on my leg. Works great!

I wanted to send this note to let potential users of the ultrasound device know that it has worked really well for me.

With achillis injuries on both heels, I have had to use it a lot. My pain level before was a 9 out of 10 and I could barely walk. After using the device as suggested by MendMeShop, my pain level is down to a 2.

FINALLY I am not only seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I am putting on my sunglasses!!

It has been a long, long, process, and if I had not had your ultrasound machine I dread to think how long it would have taken to heal. I had 6 months of physio treatment and twice weekly ultrasound before getting your machine and was feeling that I would never be able to get back to the walking that I love.

Being able to use the ultrasound 3 times a day I finally started to see an improvement, but probably upset the applecart by being too keen and trying to get back to walking too soon, for a while there it was two steps forward and one back.

But now, thanks to the ultrasound, stretching, and being sensible, I am able to walk 2 and a half miles without pain. I can also run my hand down the Achilles without any pain at all, at one time there I could hardly touch it.

So a big, big thank you to the MendMeShop crew! I did not even know that you could buy an ultrasound machine, just stumbled on you on the web one night. But not only do you have a great product, the service is great, the goods arrived beautifully packaged, and I had my goods here in Australia within ten days.

I can not thank you enough and when I have saved enough pennies again, will be back for your ice boot to prevent this from happening again.

Causes of Toe Deformities

Although there are some specific causes for each of the toe deformities (hammer toe, mallet toe, claw toe), the majority of causes are similar with all of them.

If you suffer from flat feet, your flexor muscles are generally stronger than the other muscles; which creates a muscle imbalance. These muscles exert more tension on your foot which pulls the normal arch in your foot down ‚ creating a flatter arch and longer foot. As a result your weaker toe muscles are overpowered, which can result in a toe deformity.

Inappropriate footwear (short, tight, narrow, pointed, or high heels) that puts pressure on your feet and keeps your toes in an unnatural bent and/or squished position where they rub against the shoes can also cause a toe deformity. If you wear this type of shoe over a long period of time your toe muscles won't be able to straighten your toe even if you are not wearing shoes. Often hard growths of dead skin such as corns (on top of toe) or calluses (on bottom of toe or sole of foot), or bunions (bump on side of big toe joint, normally an enlargement of bone or tissue) will develop from these pressure points, and initiate your toe deformity.

Other causes of toe deformities are:

Different foot structures, conditions from birth or an abnormal toe bone length
Hereditary characteristics
Muscle, nerve and joint damage from osteoarthritis, stroke, neuromuscular diseases (multiple sclerosis, Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, cerebral palsy, degenerative disc disease), inflammatory diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis) or diabetes, poor blood flow to your feet (peripheral arterial disease)
Previous toe injuries or poor foot mechanics and movement
Partial or complete dislocation of one of your toe joints
Excessive pressure on your foot due to height, weight, and activity levels

Tendon & Tendonitis 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

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 compression ice wrap
Get ultrasound treatments
Avoid pain killers
