Dear MendMeShop, I am using the ultrasound mostly 3 times a day. I occasionally can only get in 2 times a day due to the traveling at present. I think I have had good results, it has helped a constant pain go away, unfortunately I continue to have occassions where I move a certain way and my shoulder is in pain. This causes a set back. At present these pain times are less severe and I'm having fewer of these occurances. I rest my arm as much as possible. I bought an AC adapter for use in the car while on the road.
All the walking I've done over the past 6 days has caused a knot to reappear in the arch of my foot from a previous injury to a tendon sheath. I've used the ultrasound on it and it helps it go down and has greatly eased the pain, since I'm still needing to walk.
The ultrasound has been a blessing for me and I'm sure will continue to do so. Rating:  Vonda Clerke Dear MendMeShop, Hi, I'm a dance choreographer and school social worker. I developed scar tissue from an old fall years ago. This caused pressure to a nerve on top of my left foot causing severe pain every time I walked and swelling in my left knee from inflammation which caused my knee to be stiff everytime I walked. I tryed everything on the market but no relief.
It has been one month since I started using your product three times a day. Praise the Lord ! an answer to my many years of prayer. No more pain in my left foot and my left knee is not stiff when I walk. The price of the adapter and gel is worth the money. I will continue to use this product for the rest of my life.I have shared this product with my doctor and many of my friends including a professional football player. Rating: Marlene Stevens Dear MendMeShop, I have arthritis and bursitis in my left knee. I am allergic to IB Profin. I had my last of 3 cortisone injections last December and it really didn't help at all. I found MendMeShop thru a search on the internet and was skeptical. I purchased the Ultrasound Therapy System and I couldn't believe it but after the first treatment, I felt a difference. I wasn't able to use it 3 times a day per the instructions so it took a little longer then I wanted. Now, it's been about 4 months and my knee is about 90% better! I used in on my 90 year old mom's frozen shoulder and it also feels much better. THIS PRODUCT WORKS. THANKS MENDMESHOP! Rating: Nancy May
Bursitis Injury Facts Part 2:
Normally, bursa are flat and contain very little fluid. An injured bursa however, is swollen with fluid and not so flat anymore.
The most common bursitis injuries are:
Prepatellar Bursitis (housemaid's knee),
Superficial Infrapatellar Bursitis (clergyman's knee),
Trochanteric Bursitis (hip),
Olecranon Bursitis (student's elbow) and
Subacromial Bursitis (shoulder bursitis).
Deep Bursae separate bare areas of bone from overlapping muscles.
Superficial Bursae separate
bare areas of bone from skin or tendons.
Deep Bursae develop in the womb. Superficial Bursae develop within months to several years after birth.
Household names for various bursitis injuries include: Popeye's Elbow, Miner's Elbow, Weaver's Elbow, Housemaid's Knee, Hod-Carrier's Shoulders, Dustman's Shoulders, Student's Elbow, and Clergyman's Knee
Dear MendMeShop, Hi my name is Angie, and I just wanted to tell everyone out there who is having problems with Tedonitis or Carpal Tunnel that last year I ordered the HT-901 Series Portable Ultrasound Device because my hands were almost completely numb from my job as an Upholsterer, started using my device as soon as I got it and my hands were almost completely normal in couple of months and I did not lose any time off work, this device is absolutely amazing. Angie Rating: Angie Vandeloo Dear MendMeShop, 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 I can attest that 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 order 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 a medical leave. I want to thank you for not only helping me, but also giving me the ability to continue my career.

Seattle, WA Rating: Sharon R. Dear MendMeShop, I didn't know Frozen Shoulder existed until my doctor diagnosed it 3 months ago. Then I kept hearing about friends brothers, parents, and friends of friends etc who had it and I was surprised at how common it is. Most of these people were plagued with it for months and months.
I suffered for 1 month then ordered a wrap and ultrasound kit from your store. Once I started using them, I just kept getting better. After 3 weeks I thought my shoulder had more motion and less stiffness than it had had in many years. I'm better than ever now.
Thanks for a great product,
Jeff Rating: Jeff Smith Dear MendMeShop, I am so pleased that I have finally found something for the bursitis of my hip, the pain was so bad.
I had so many cortisone shots and wanted something else.
I found your ad on the internet and ordered the [MendMeShop Ultrasound Device]. I took the treatments as the instructions said. I can not believe I am pain free, I have been suffering with this for over a year.
I would say that if you are suffering with hip pain try this, it works. I still can't believe it works! My friends think it is a gimmick but I talked to my Doctor and he said that studies show ultrasound is very beneficial for hip bursitis Rating: Sandra S Dear MendMeShop, I am very happy that I purchased the Ultrasound System. It has worked for me and after many months of pain, I have no more pain. I am so happy to have found the machine.
I was sitting at a table playing in a tournament. At the end of the round when I was to move to the next table, I could not get there without help from others. The pain was intense. When the tournament was over, I could not walk to the door and get to my car. Others helped me and I made it home and crawled into my house. After a period of time, a few minutes, I was able to walk with a limp, pain subsiding.
As soon as I could, without going to the emergency room, I saw my doctor and got a specific diagnosis. Pes Anserine (knee) Bursitis, I put these words into my search engine, Along with others, your name Mend Me came up. Because of your guarantee, I did not see that I could lose. I am so glad I purchased the Ultrasound System.
Also, I have a friend who used to do ultrasound work in a hospital and before I used it, I asked her opinion and she said she thought no harm would come to me so...here we are. I have no pain. I can walk normally.
Rating: Marge Pint Dear MendMeShop, Hello, I'm reporting into you that the arm wrap is working so good. Most of my pain is gone now.
I have good movement of the arm. Can raise it up over head now and around to the back. Before I started the treatments I was not able to do these things.
I am a believer of your product and I will continue to use it.
I went to my Doctor today for my yearly physical and I told her about me ordering this wrap, as I did not want to go through another surgery on the rotator-cuff. I just got done doing my overhead pulley exercises on my arms and then I put on the wrap and it felt so good. I still am being very careful as to not over use the arm. I was able to run my vacuum today with the right arm and did great.
Ok, just thought you would like to hear my progress and I am very happy with the results so far Rating: Louise Ranes
Bursitis Injury Facts Part 3:
On occasion, bacteria can invade a bursa and cause an infection. An infected bursa is known as septic bursitis and can be life-threatening if left untreated. So make sure you see a physician!
Septic bursitis is most common in knee joints and elbow joints as the bursae in these locations are close to the skin and most susceptible to bacterial invasion.
It is not uncommon for bursitis to be misdiagnosed as arthritis.
Bursitis is best avoided by staying in shape, taking frequent breaks from repetitive or laborious tasks and cushioning joints if on them for long periods (ie. kneepads for gardening).
A Bursa can swell to a surprisingly large size. In cases of heavy swelling, your physician may choose to drain fluid from the swollen bursa. If a lump is present in chronic bursitis cases, excision may be required.
Clergyman's Knee comes from a more upright posture when kneeling in comparison to Housemaid's Knee. Patients suffering from gout or syphilis can be at higher risk of contracting Clergyman's Knee.

Dear Bursitis Injury Sufferer,
I Have a Couple of Important Questions For You:
1. Does it boggle your mind how long it is taking your inflamed bursa to get better?
2. Are you concerned that this bursitis is not going to improve unless you stop working or dramatically reduce your daily activity?
If so, then you've come to the right place.
On this very page you are currently reading I’m going to give you the straight goods on bursa inflammation and secondary joint troubles stemming from bursitis.
After that, I'm going to reveal the following:
- How you can heal your bursitis injury fast - just like the pro-athletes do, so you can get back to work and off the couch!
- Why re-injuries are so common these days.
- Simple points you can follow to decrease your odds of having a chronic (long term) joint problem because of your bursitis injury.
So, Let's Get Started..
The Straight Goods on
Bursitis Injuries
Why and How it Happens
A bursa is a small fluid filled sac typically positioned around the many joints in your body; the number varies but most people have approximately 160 bursae. The primary function of a bursa is to reduce friction between tissues of the body, commonly between tendon and bone. One example would be the pes anserine bursa, whose function is to reduce rubbing between the tibia bone and three tendons of the hamstring muscle on the inside part of the knee. Basically, bursae keep different soft tissues in the body from rubbing or fraying.
Your chances of getting bursitis increase with age. The onset of bursitis can arise from overuse of a joint, extensive stress on a joint, or through direct trauma (ie. falling and hitting your elbow on a hard surface). Bursitis is common among people who work in the trades such as carpenters, painters, and floor installers but it is often seen in musicians, students, and athletes such as tennis and golf players as well. Bursitis can also occur among people who suffer from diabetes, gout, thyroid disease, or an infection.
As you can see, there is not any specific, single reason for the development of bursitis; it can arise slowly over time, as is often seen in cases of bursitis of the hip, or it can show up all of a sudden due to a strong impact. If you suspect you may have bursitis, please see a physician for a proper diagnosis. The surprisingly high levels of pain common with bursitis inflammation is not something you should ever guess about, as it could be symptomatic of many dangerous injuries, illnesses or diseases - so make sure you get to a doctor and know exactly what you are dealing with!
A Note About Septic Bursitis
Septic Bursitis is a more serious form of bursitis, where the bursa is not only inflamed but also infected. Any time you are dealing with infection, it is absolutely critical to see your physician. Severe cases of septic bursitis may require drainage, antibiotics or various other forms of treatment. Diverse organisms such as cryptococcus, neisseria and haemophilus can bring about septic bursitis; treatment must be monitored by your physician to ensure your reactions to treatment stay positive.
Note: I strongly encourage anyone who has a bursitis injury to read more about their specific injury in our information pages. The more you understand why the injury occurred, the better chance you have to prevent re-injury.
Why is it Taking so Long to Get Better?
First of all, you need to understand the nature of a bursa. A bursa is not a muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilege or bone - it is a bursa. It is termed as a fluid filled sac, but it is actually a pretty tough sac. It is noteworthy that even a healthy bursa receives very little blood flow.
When you have an inflamed bursa, the bursa swells as damaged tissue cells release toxins. These toxins cause the area to be very tender to touch, red, and sore to move. As the toxins and damaged cells accumulate, blood vessels become blocked and fluid builds... resulting in more swelling and pain. This is very much like the effect a dam has on a river - the flow is stopped, more fluid pools and pressure within the bursa increases.
Blood is your body's natural healer. It delivers oxygen and nutrients - elements crucial to regenerate and re-grow healthy tissue. The bad news is that your inflamed bursa cannot heal fast because there is very little fresh blood flowing to the injured area - even less blood flow than when the bursa is healthy (which isn't much to start with).
By the way, if you have full blown bursitis and the pain tolerance of an average person, you won't be moving your joint - it is just too painful. The immobility that comes with the pain means there is even less blood flowing to the injured area, and that means your bursitis is going to take a very long time to heal.
Ah, So to Speed Up the Healing I Get Rid of the Swelling?
Yes, for starters. To speed it up faster, use a therapy that will decrease the swelling and also increase the blood flow. Basically, treat yourself the way pro athletes do - their trainers know the best ways to treat soft tissue injuries so take a lesson from them!
So How Do Trainers Treat Pro Athletes with Bursitis?
Trainers use a combination of cold compression and Ultrasound Therapy.
Doctors routinely prescribe ultrasonic massage treatments as a primary treatment for all forms of soft tissue inflammation. Typically these treatments are two sessions per week, since more than that becomes too inconvenient or expensive. The stakes are much higher for professional athletes however, where downtime can cost a sports team millions in lost revenue; this is why athletic team trainers treat injured athletes with ultrasound, and do so multiple times per day.
It's no SECRET! Trainers use Ultrasound on Pro Athletes ALL the TIME!
You have now learned the "straight goods" on bursitis. I was on such a roll, I already gave you some foolproof ways to recover faster from your injury. There is a key piece of information that is more valuable yet that I want to share with you. Before I do so, however, it is necessary that you learn about re-injury.
I Had Bursitis a Year or Two Ago, and
Now I Have it Again! Why?
To properly answer this question, I'd have to write a short novel. The short version is this - there are many possible reasons, but the most likely are:
- You have diabetes, a form of arthritis, or some other condition that predisposes you to bursitis.
- You engage in a trade or practice that predisposes you to bursitis in a certain area. (ie. you kneel often and because of this suffer from bursitis in the knee).
- Your initial bursitis injury was not fully healed and has flared up again.
Much of the pain that is encountered with a bursitis injury goes away once the inflammation is reduced. It is at this point that many people think their bursitis is cured, but that is not the case. If you are treating bursitis, it is important to treat it fully and completely. Once the pain disappears, keep treating the area until your joint is 100% healthy. First of all, this means that the range of motion in your joint is 100% of what is was before your bursitis injury. Secondly, it means that the joint is as strong as it was before your bursitis occurred. Ensure you do not overdo it once the pain is gone.
Some bursitis sufferers mistakenly go back to work immediately after their bursa feels better not realizing their joint has weakened due to lack of use. This further increases their chances of reinjuring the bursa and even contracting tendinitis or muscle strain. Once the bursitis pain is gone and you are ready to get back to your activities, ease into it slowly to lessen your chances of a injury by treating the bursa and surrounding soft tissue with therapeutic ultrasound. If you can, try to lessen the strain on your recently recovered joint. If it is relevant, consider buying a good set of knee pads, elbow pads or better shoes with orthotics; if this can help prevent recurrence then it is probably worth it!
In most cases of a tear, strain, pull, or cartilage degeneration, scar tissue begins to form at the injury site, binding your tissues together abnormally. Unlike healthy tissue that works like a stretchy elastic band, scar tissue is tough and inflexible. Most of us know of someone that just can't seem to recover from a soft tissue injury - a good example is a runner that has injured their achilles tendon: the injury stops hurting so they start running again, and the scar tissue from the old injury prevents the achilles from flexing properly, so they keep straining it time after time. In fact, 90% of runners that have injured their achilles will re-injure their achilles again - this is what scar tissue can do - it turns a short term injury into a long term recurring injury.
So, not only will Ultrasound Therapy improve your bursa injury recovery rate - it will also help your weakened joint muscles and tendons gain flexibility as you ease back into a more physical lifestyle.
Frequent Treatments = Quicker Results
The biggest secret of ultrasound therapy is... the more you do it, the better it works. It's that simple - bursitis responds extremely well to therapeutic ultrasound and can speed up the healing process significantly.
The treatments are easy, painless and the results are outstanding!
What Does Ultrasound Do?
Ultrasound Therapy is a vital component to rapid healing of your Bursitis, as it provides multiple benefits. First, it increases blood flow to the treated area, which speeds the healing process. Second, it reduces swelling and edema, which are the main sources of pain. When used in conjunction with a Freezie Wrap® and an Inferno Wrap®, you are maximizing your recovery therapy.
To rid your bursa inflammation completely you need something to unblock the blood vessels and open the blood flow in the injury location. During ultrasound treatments, sound waves vibrate the soft tissue to reduce the blockage, decreasing the pooling of fluid and resupplying the injured area with much needed nutrients (allowing your injured cells to heal more quickly). Here's how it happens...
The sound waves bounce against the tissue, scattering the fluid that causes inflammation. This unblocks the dam allowing blood to flow normally again. Increased blood flow helps whisk away dead cells and toxins from the injured tissue. The sound waves speed your body through the inflammatory process - reducing symptoms of pain, swelling, redness and heat - and open up vessels to deliver fresh blood for healing.
...the key to faster healing.
Blood is your body's natural healer. It delivers oxygen and nutrients - crucial elements to regenerate and re-grow healthy tissue. Not only does ultrasound open up your blood vessels, it creates a thermal (warming) effect in the tissue cells. To counteract this warming effect, your body tries to cool the warmed tissue by sending blood to the treatment area. This increases the amount of fresh oxygen and nutrients to the injured area for even faster healing!
Therapeutic ultrasound increases the blood flow to soft tissue in the treatment area, enhancing your body's natural healing process in a non-invasive and painless way. Ultrasound Therapy - Makes Sense Right?
Let's Review some points about Ultrasound Therapy:
- ultrasound increases blood flow.
- ultrasound decreases swelling.
- ultrasound can increase elasticity in muscles, tendon and ligaments.
What Can Be Treated With Ultrasound?
An incredibly wide variety of ailments are treated using ultrasound. Essentially, ultrasound will help anywhere you need increased blood circulation and reduced swelling/edema.
Injuries to the bursae, ligaments, tendons and muscles are excellent candidates for ultrasound treatments. Typically, these types of injuries are very slow to heal due to constant use and/or poor or slow blood circulation. Regular applications of ultrasound therapy over the duration of the healing period will quickly and significantly reduce pain as well as recovery time- the ultrasound-stimulated tissue and increased blood flow speed the healing process, while the swelling/edema is reduced.
Ultrasound Therapy - As a Warm Up
Most professional athletes use ultrasound therapy as a preventative measure to protect themselves against injury. Using ultrasound before and after very physically demanding activities aids in the warm-up/warm-down process. Athletes with chronic ailments from previous injuries also use ultrasound to promote circulation to the injured area and to reduce any swelling and pain which may impact their performance. Many professional athletes have purchased personal ultrasound units, due to their frequent use.
Trigger Point Therapy
Massage therapists will often offer ultrasound treatments in conjunction with regular massage, as a pain free method of releasing trigger points and "knots" in all the muscles. Using ultrasound on the trigger points of injured muscles helps to relax and reduce the trauma of the injury. When relaxed, the muscle can heal and recover from the injury much more quickly and more effectively, with less scar tissue formation. While full body ultrasound treatments are not practical, ultrasound treatments on specific injured areas are very effective.
What is so Important About Ultrasound Gel?
When applied directly to the skin an ultrasound head cannot effectively transfer the sound waves into the body. To make it work properly, a conductive medium is required - ultrasound gel.
The gel simply makes it possible for the sound waves to travel from the unit head into your body. Ultrasound without gel is ineffective and can damage the ultrasound machine.
Is My Ultrasound Treatment Missing
the Advantages of Phonophoresis?
If you are not getting your ultrasound gel from MendMeShop, then the answer is yes. Our all-natural gel is the only Effective Topical Therapeutic Gel that is also a Phonophoretic Ultrasound Gel. When we went out looking for an outstanding ultrasound gel to use along with our outstanding ultrasound unit, we didn't like what we found, so we made our own!

The Ultrasound with the MendMeShop gel, works!
The Ultrasound HT-901 with the MendMeShop gel, works! I've suffered with bursitis in my right shoulder for over a year and a half. As you're aware, it can be quite painful. After the first day's treatment, the pain subsided substantially. Thereafter, I have been treating it only as it flares up. The treatments are being applied less frequently. Thank you for a fine product.
Norris Kai, Hawaii USA
I have had bursitis in the heel of my left foot for well over a year. I have had multiple cortisone shots, but nothing truly eliminated the pain. I purchased the [MendMeShop] Ultrasound Pain Therapy system as a last resort. My husband and I had planned a 10 day hiking trip and I was quite concerned it would be a disaster. Due to a busy schedule I was not able to use the product as frequently as was suggested but I did try to use it twice a day, but minimally once a day. I would wrap my heel in an ice pack for 15 minutes and then due the ultra for 10 - 15 minutes. After a month my level of pain was at most a two [out of ten]. I went on the hiking trip (bought really good hiking boots ) and I brought the ultrasound with me. I used it every night. Well we hiked close to 50 miles that trip and I was no worse for the wear. I actually haven't used the since i returned on 9/24 because I have been pain free. I may even start running again. This product is wonderful Nancy, Tolland Connecticut Call to Order or Purchase Online

Bursitis Inflammation Facts:
Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa.
Bursitis is most often caused by repetitive, minor impact on the area, or from a sudden, more serious injury.
Ultrasound can speed Bursitis injury recovery significantly.
Bursitis high-risk activities include gardening, raking, carpentry, shoveling, painting, scrubbing, tennis, golf, skiing, throwing, and pitching.
If bursitis persists and is left untreated, calcium deposits can form within the bursae. These calcium deposits limit range of motion and can lead to a permanently stiff joint.
Incorrect posture at work or home and poor stretching or conditioning before exercise can also lead to bursitis.
Dear MendMeShop, Prompt shipping. Arrived at my US address within five business days.
Nice letter from the president indicates the company takes pride in its products. Well written instructions. No poor grammar you sometimes find in manuals for other products shipped from Asia (e.g., "Be sure to device turn off when done.")
I occasionally get inflammation in the soft tissues of my elbow from a radial head injury I received while playing basketball several years ago. Tired of buying joint supplements and getting only marginal results from applying heat and ice, I started looking for something new. After using the ultrasound device 1-3 times a day for 3 weeks I have noticed improvement. Less discomfort in my elbow means less inflammation. The therapeutic gel is a nice addition. The menthol in the gel is not overbearing and does not leave an offensive smell that fills my office like some other creams. I am pleased with the product and will definitely continue to use.
Regards,

Dear MendMeShop, Thanks so very much for rushing a new adapter for my Ultrasound device. It works perfectly again, and I am excited! Also, it was very kind of you to send a bottle of the Ultrasound Gel, which I can certainly use. I have never dealt with a company that provides the excellent service Mend Me Shop does. Thank you again!!
I fell from a ladder onto a cement floor last October and broke my hip--my first broken bone--and was unable to walk for six weeks. My left foot was very swollen and bruised for months afterward. After six weeks, my hip had healed well, and my orthopedic surgeon told me I could walk again. Although I experienced no pain in my hip, there was extreme pain in my heels when I would get up to walk. I apparently banged my feet very hard on the ladder steps when I fell. The orthopedist just shrugged his shoulders and told me there were no broken bones in my foot. He did send me to a podiatrist, who diagnosed inflamed bursae in my heels. He simply told me to wear shoes with a little heel, to purchase some inexpensive heel cups, and said it might take a year or two for my feet to heal.
I followed the podiatrist's instructions, which eased the pain very little. I am so thankful I was introduced to the Ultrasound device! I have used it three weeks per Mend Me Shop's instructions and am now taking the fourth week off. My heels are 99% better, and I have almost no pain in them at this time. I am going to continue the treatment for another week or so until I feel certain everything has healed and then plan to use it for some arthritis in my right knee.
Thank you, Mend Me Shop, from the depths of my heart (and my husband's too)!

 Dear MendMeShop, I guess I am getting older, and well anyway, I ended up tearing my achilles heel. The pain was excrutiating. After having it checked by a doctor and a specialist, they informed there wasn't anything that could be done but to stay off of it. I went to a Massage therapist and he helped considerably. I got online and found this company. I couldn't have been happier. The Ultrasound I purchased along with the gel was perfect for my recuperation. Within a couple of days of using them the pain began to subside and my movement quickly improved. It was a perfect find. Thank you very much. By the way, it has also helped my wife with her shoulder tightness.

Dear MendMeShop, As you know the shoulder is a difficult area to Ice.
Since I got my Freezie wrap, it has become so easy to do my treatments.
I love it and use it daily. It has been huge in the progess I've been seeing. Thank you Rating: R Foss
Dear MendMeShop, I am a 60 yr. old male from Michigan that attempted to do some roofing with my sons. I subsequently strained-pulled a tendon or ligament in my right knee. I knew it was severe enough that I knew
I was going to need medical care and/or physical therapy. However, before doing so, I just happened to be talking to an old friend who had purchased one of your hand held ultrasound machines. Both he and his wife have had very good results treating various similar ailments.
Since I had had numerous ultrasound treatments in physical therapy over the years, I knew that it worked.
Therefore, I purchased one of you Mendmeshop hand held Ultrasound devices.
Upon receipt, I immediately began daily treatments. There was some immediate relief and within two weeks my knee was back to normal.
Other than physical therapy, I have tried various joint creams and heat therapy over the years; none of which have produced any good results.
Your hand held Ultrasound machine is the only treatment that has really worked for me. Rating: Stephen Van Camp
Dear MendMeShop, In March of 2009 I visited my Chiroprator because of pain in my shoulder. He did ultra sound and muscle stem therapy and gave me excerises to do. He also had me get an MRI. After everything was said and done I found out I had a small bone spur, a small muscle tear and a lot of tendonitis.
I was told to keep up the therapy and excerises and I would get better.
I went to the internet and googled ultra sound. The first thing that came up was MendMeShop. I read what they had to say and ordered one of their units. I read the instructions and followed what they said to do and how to use the unit. I also called them up several times to answer questions. They have professional people available to help and direct the healing of what you are using the unit for.
After a few weeks I began to feel relief. The one thing I did learn was to be patient. Any injury to a muscle or tendon takes a lot of time to heal. By purchasing this unit it has saved me a lot of money.
Once I saw the area where the doctor was using it on me, I did the same with my ultra sound wand.
I have told a lot of family and friends about this unit and they too have purchased the same device. I have grandchildren who are in sports and use the unit on they too.
I would recommend this for anyone. Thank you all at MendMeShop for your help.
Keep up the good work Rating: Ron Leininger
