Chronic back pain can be caused by sciatic nerve irritation which often results in numbness, weakness, and tingling of the lower extremities. Likewise, chronic pain can be the result of compression of any of the 33 individual vertebrae that make up the spinal column. The spinal column is stressed with every movement--sitting, standing, bending, and walking. Discs between the vertebrae are a gel-like substance that act as shock absorbers for the spine.

Any damage or irritation to the disc can result in pressure on the nerve endings of the spine, causing chronic back pain. Patients with chronic back pain often struggle for years with treatment after treatment--all with no reprieve from the pain. Thanks to ultrasound treatment such as our personal therapeutic ultrasound device, many patients are experiencing a reduction in pain for the first time.

In fact, our personal ultrasound device often completely removes the pain. The powerful pulsed wave of ultrasound goes into the deep muscle tissue allowing the healing properties of our specially formulated ultrasound gel to penetrate right where the pain starts. This device can be used in your home safely when following the suggested guidelines or those given by your healthcare provider. It has an automatic shut off timer as an added precaution.

Ultrasound therapy has been used successfully for a wide range of muscle pain control, including chronic back pain. In addition to use at home, many back specialists are using it in their offices to treat patients with unresolved back pain.

A Back/Hip Inferno Wrap is one of the most helpful tools for a wide varity of painful back related problems. Through the absorption of deep penetrating energy waves, tissues are safely and gently heated - increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis — a balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body. To do this, your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area (this is known as vasodilation), increasing the supply of nutrients to injured cells and flushing out toxins (including lactic acid, commonly found in trigger points) to promote healing. Our Back/Hip Inferno Wrap provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.

Our Cold Compression Wraps are recommended by countless medical professionals. That's why we sell them, because they are the best. We have noticed over time that our customers are so fond of our cold wraps that they are frequently coming back and ordering a second one. The wraps are becoming very popular with baseball and soccer trainers, and the wraps can be conveniently stored in a cooler for quick application on the field when needed.

If you suffer from pain after certain activities or movements use ultrasound therapy when you complete the activity and then rest. Limit the application of ultrasound to a couple of treatments per day (the manual will recommend treatment frequency depending upon the injury). In between ultrasound treatments, maximize your pain relief and injury recovery by using the Back/Hip Freezie Wrap and Back/Hip Inferno Wrap. Proven Performance, Proven Relief - only found at MendMeShop.com. If you have been given a treatment plan by your health professional, make sure you adhere to it to ensure pain free living. In general, people who are committed to their therapies and exercises will have the best medical outcomes.
