Your upper arm bone and forearm bones are connected at the elbow joint. The joint is simple but is supported by a complex assembly of muscle, tendon and ligament tissues. These tissues are what enable your elbows movement; allow you to swing a golf club or a tennis racquet. Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow can be an ongoing ordeal that limits even common tasks such as doing the dishes. No one needs the aggravation!

Both injuries, tennis and golfer's elbow, medically referred to as lateral and medial epicondylitis, are repetitive strain injuries, resulting from the overuse of the forearm muscles. What begins to happen is your muscles and tendons become inflamed due to the constant abuse, radiating pain down to your fingers in some cases. In most circumstances the pain is brought on gradually as the forearm tissues become more irritated through continual use; with tenderness felt in the tendons below your elbow joint.

The biggest concern for those suffering from tennis and/or golfer's elbow is returning to regular activity too soon. Often you will notice a great improvement early on; however the injury may still be present even though pain has subsided. The more diligent you are with your treatment and rehabilitation, the faster you will see successful results. The MendMeShop's Portable Pain Therapy System provides you with the tools necessary to relieve the pain of tendonitis and dramatically speed the healing. It provides you with the means to be more than diligent, allowing for a speedy and complete recovery! The faster and stronger you heal your tendons, the less chance there is for re-injury. The tendons are tough dense tissues that normally receive very little blood flow. This is largely why tendon injuries take so long to heal. When using radiant energy or ultrasound, the energy waves stimulate blood flow which speeds up healing and clears away the inflammation causing the pain.

During recovery, it is most important to eliminate all activities that may further aggravate the tendons in your forearm. Scar tissue will often develop as a result of a tennis elbow or golfer's elbow injury once acute inflammation begins to decrease. In order to maintain full range of motion it is important to limit the formation of scar tissue as much as possible. MendMeShop Therapeutic Ultrasound and complimentary products enable you to heal faster, reducing your chance of developing scar tissue.

To really speed up the effectiveness of our MendMeShop Ultrasound Unit, we invented our very own specific ultrasound gel to maximize the benefits of phonophoresis. After months of developing the formula and waiting for preliminarly tests to come back, I can honestly say our new Lavender Infusion Ultrasound Gel is a winner! We've kept out all the bad ingredients (paraben, colorants, industrial dyes), and I can honestly say - this is the costliest ultrasound gel ever made by anyone! Our decision NOT to use the standard industrial lavender additive but use REAL Bulgarian Lavender is a decision made for this reason: MendMeShop is about Real Solutions for Real People. Try it and you will also discover why our gel is by far the best out there!

Upon injury, cold therapy will reduce initial inflammation, a key component for pain relief and healing. After the initial stages of swelling have been controlled it is then beneficial to apply heat to the area. Heat promotes blood flow which will flush the injured tissues of cellular waste, while providing nutrients to the torn tissues

Considering the risk and benefits of some other alternative treatments, providing your elbow the combination of ultrasound and thermal wrap therapy is without a doubt your best chance for recovery!

Our cold compression wraps are made of the highest quality materials available. They fit perfectly, stay in place, are extremely durable, and use a special patented baffled cold array. What is a baffled cold array? All other cold packs simply use a plastic bag partially filled with cold gel. What is sure to happen is the gel pools in the low spots or in pockets where there is no pressure. Fill a plastic bag with water and put it on your arm and watch what happens - all the water sits in two pools on either side of your arm. Cold compression wraps work because they interrupt and slow nerve and cell function in the damaged area. Once blood vessels are damaged they can no longer carry oxygenated blood to the damaged tissue and therefore cells begin to break-down. The deep cold provided by cold compression wraps slow cell function thereby reducing cellular break-down. Furthermore, because the cold wraps serve to numb the nerves the wraps also reduce pain!
