Dear MendMeShop,

My fasciitis was better the day after I used this. The product shipped the day after I ordered it.

Dear MendMeShop,

I had Plantar Fasciitis a few years ago and it took months to get over it. This time around I had been treating it with ice, NSAIDs, a night boot, etc. for about 4 weeks before I got the ultrasound and radiant heat tools from the MendMeShop. I was making little or no progress, and it was painful to walk. After two weeks of using the ultrasound and radiant heat I can now walk and run pain free. I have already referred several friends and relatives to MendMeShop.

Dear MendMeShop,

The symptoms from plantar fasciitis started surfacing about 3 years ago but I ignored the pain for a long time until last winter I was diagnosed with a chronic case of plantar fasciitis. I stopped work temporarily since I'm a waitress and I'm on my feet all day, and tried splints and different shoes to get better. They helped a bit, but once I returned to work full time, it was getting worse again, until my PT gave me ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound worked well for me, so I decided to get my own unit at MendMeShop so I could use it more often. I love the MendMeShop Ultrasound Unit since I can choose the length of treatment - usually I treat for 10 minutes twice a day, but if it flares up, I set the timer for 15 minutes. The lavender gel smells great and works fantastic - I can finally get a good nights sleep and counter the pain with ultrasound.

Dear MendMeShop,

I have had terrible foot and heel pain for over two years now, I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis and underwent several weeks of physical therapy, this got me back on my feet but the pain never went away. Almost two months ago I ordered several of your products hoping I could get some relief for this pain. Wow did it work! After activities I use the Freezie wrap, several times a day the Inferno wrap and at least three times a day Ultrasound, finally I sleep with the Night Splint with Tread. I am no longer afraid to step out of bed in the morning and am able to once again exercise normally. Thank you for these great products!

Chronic Tendonitis (or chronic tendinitis)

Occurs when a tendon near a joint becomes inflamed, usually because of repetitive overuse. The condition will typically affects patients in the shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle and foot areas, as these are the most active and stressed joints.

Success

Stretching is important for your Achilles Tendon

Close to 4 million people in the United States seek treatment each year for symptoms of tennis elbow alone! This one of the most common locations for chronic tendonitis and is quite common among athletes. Swinging a golf club or a tennis racquet repetitively can wear on a person's tendons and cause them to become inflamed.

Until recently, treatment options for patients with chronic tendonitis have been limited to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, and stretching exercises, but that is changing due to new treatment methods such as ultrasonic therapy and shockwave vibration therapies. Ultrasound treatment is quickly becoming very popular for treating this problem, as results have been very positive as long as the patient (1) keeps the area inactive throughout the healing process and (2) sticks to the treatment properly until healing has completed.

The Ultrasound is great for tendonitis because the patient can treat themselves continuously without delay, as would happen if they went to a therapist for all their ultrasound treatments.

Patients with chronic tendonitis are instructed to avoid activities that aggravate the condition, as the tendon will not heal properly if it is constantly stressed through overuse. Occasionally, physicians performed surgery on patients or gave them injections of corticosteroids, but this is invasive and is a method of last resort.
