Tennis Elbow recovery!

A few months ago my tennis elbow started to flare up again. I have gone to physical therapy for ultrasound treatments in the past and they worked. I'm not in a position right now to go to physical therapy, so thought I would just have to ride it out until I could get there.

Then I came across this website and thought I'd give the Ultrasound Pain Therapy System a try. I'm glad I did. The pain has started to subside and I don't have to spend my money going to the physical therapist!

I have friends who have tried my system as well and they are amazed at the results. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you MendMeShop!

My Elbow Tendonitis Feels Like It Has Healed

I used my ultrasound for three weeks 3x's a day for 5 minutes each interval. I have tendenitis in my elbow and it really feels like it is healed.

...I think I will start using it on my heels as I have plantar fasciitis and am on my feet constantly at work. Thanks again for the great product.

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 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 ordered 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 medical leave.

I want to thank you for not only helping me, but also giving me the ability to continue my career.

Thank You

I would like to thank you for a wonderful product.

My husband has "golfer's elbow" and the use of the ultrasound and gel has helped it immensely. He has nearly gained full use of his arm.

Cortisone shots had only given him temporary relief. Again, Thank you

I would very much like to write a review for your Inferno and Freezie 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 BFST kit and Freezie 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 Freezie 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 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!

What Are Trigger Points?

human body trigger points

Tigger points cause pain more often than any other condition, are drastically under-diagnosed due to lack of information. Trigger points are specific, hyperirritable and hypersensitive areas in muscle that suffer from decreased circulation, increased contraction and spasm. Lack of circulation creates a high anomaly of toxins and increased nerve sensitivity that can range from low ache to sharp pain. Now just because the trigger point causes the pain does not mean that the spot is painful itself. When the pain causing spot is painful it is called a primary trigger point. However, pain can also manifest itself in areas away from the active trigger point - such pain is called referred pain.

Causes of Trigger Point Pain

Tender trigger points typically develop from lack of stretching or improper stretching but can also be caused from stress/trauma, repetitive motion or even poor posture. Other common causes are:

  • sitting without firm back support (slumped posture)
  • prolonged sitting in a chair without armrests, or armrests that are too high, or too low (leaning to one side)
  • cradling a phone between ear and shoulder
  • large breasts
  • one leg shorter than the other
  • typing on a keyboard that is too high
  • prolonged improper sleeping position
  • playing a violin
  • kayaking
  • overly tight bra straps
  • carrying a purse (prolonged hiking up of the shoulder)
  • head-forward posture
  • whiplash
  • walking with a cane that is too long

Reduced circulation in trigger points will eventually lead to muscle shortening and restricted movement which further accentuates the pain, thus completing a cycle of decreased mobility and further pain. This commonly becomes the underlying cause of chronic headache pain, and the patient will continue to suffer from these until the problem trigger points are treated directly.

How Can you Treat Trigger Points?

Mild Trigger Points can be addressed sometimes through massage and some sufferers maintain that acupuncture treats these problems as well, though it is not accepted by many medical institutions. However, permanent removal of chronic trigger points and conditions caused by this (headaches, lack of flexibility in shoulders and neck, upper back pain, etc.) typically requires treatment using Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy and/or Therapeutic Ultrasound. Both treatments are widely accepted modalities, that until quite recently, have been available only through treatment by a specialist (chiropractor, physical therapist or a physician). We are very happy to provide both the Inferno Wrap™ line of products and premium quality Therapeutic Ultrasound Devices, so you can treat your trigger points at home at a time that is convenient to you!

Tennis Elbow Facts:

Tennis Elbow is a common name used for an acute form of tendonitis in the tendon fibers that attach the forearm muscles to the elbow.

Tennis Elbow is the most common overuse injury of the elbow.

Tennis Elbow injuries of the elbow are commonly associated with athletes however, overuse injuries are most common in occupational areas.

Elbow injuries can be secondary to an injury elsewhere in the body. The elbow injury may be caused by the body compensating for an injury to the neck, shoulder or wrist.

Oral Medications can mask the pain but do not aid in the healing of Tennis Elbow.

Tennis Elbow symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising and tenderness. Other symptoms may also include hand numbness or hand weakness.

Ice and compression are the easiest and most effective treatments for pain relief for Tennis Elbow sufferers.

Only 5% of people diagnosed with Tennis Elbow actually play tennis.

Ultrasound therapy can speed the recovery of Tennis Elbow significantly.

Cell Phone Elbow (a.k.a Cupital Tunnel Syndrome) can develop from excessive cell phone use where the ulna nerve is stretched for a long period of time. This restricts the blood flow to the elbow and can cause the nerves to become weakened and scarred. If you feel pain or numbness in the hand in particular the pinky and ring fingers whilst using a cell phone, change hands or use a bluetooth.

The most effective way to get healing nutrients and oxygen back into your elbow is via the use of Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy.

Incomplete healing and re-injury can lead to a build up of scar tissue in the elbow causing further injury. Ultrasound is a very effective treatment to break down the scar tissue and ensure compelte healing of Tennis Elbow.

Contintually using your elbow while it is injured will cause further damage and result in a slower recovery.

The best way to heal your elbow completely is to combine Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy, Cold Compression and Ultrasound Therapy.
