Letters From Our Customers:
My Doctor Was Surprised By The Results I purchased your ultrasound device and gel several months ago. I have used it as prescribed regularly with outstanding results.
Several years ago, while playing football as a quarterback, I received a Meniscus injury to my left knee. I have had physical therapy steroids, other drugs and natural medicine which helped for a time but the pain kept returning.
I received a brochure through the internet. Purchased the device and used it regularly. During a x-ray review of my knee, I learned that the meniscus had increased in thickness! Six months ago I was experiencing a bone on bone situation. The last x-ray showed a space between the bone increased to 3.25 mm, relieving the bone on bone and hence the pain I was experiencing.
Thank you so much for letting me know of the device. Rating:  James Andrews, (Former Pro Athlete)
Florida USA  Ultrasound Allowed Me To Reduce My Pain Medication Suffering with both right and left torn meniscus, I found your ad offering relief with ultrasound.
After 1 week of following your directions, I was able to come off of pain medication. After 2 weeks, I was almost back to normal.
When I get carpal tunnel pain, usually 1 treatment is all I need. In times between , the pain is increasing.
Your products and individual help has made the quality of my life much better.
Thank you so much. Rating: Peggy Cicolini, USA Worked For My Knee Tendonitis When Nothing Else Did I purchased the ultrasound device for tendonitis in my knee and I noticed a decrease in pain in about two weeks. I've had this condition for about ten years and I've tried all types of things, all types of physical therapy and nothing worked. But this device definitely helped. Thank you MendMeShop.

More Facts About Knees:
Babies are born without knee caps. They appear when the child reaches 2-6 years of age.
The knee is the largest articular joint in the body.
Each knee has two tough, rubbery menisci.
One meniscus sits on the inside of the knee joint and is referred to as the medial meniscus. The other meniscus rests on the outer part and is referred to as the lateral meniscus.
Arthritis is one of the most common causes of knee bursitis.
Therapeutic Ultrasound is a highly effective treatment for knee bursitis.
Runner's knee is not exactly a condition in itself. It sums up a multitude of knee disorders with different causes all centering around the kneecap.
Obesity and improper body alignment are responsible for many knee injuries.
Optimal knee treatment includes avoiding activity, icing the inflammation, gently stretching and warming the area.
Ultrasound can speed ACL, PCL and meniscus recovery significantly. Improved Meniscus with Ultrasound Therapy We've been very pleased that our son's meniscus tear issues have improved since using the ultrasound device. Thanks for making it available! Rating: Karen
S.Carolina, USA Your Ultrasound machine is the only treatment that has really worked for me 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
Clyde Michigan, USA Painful Knee Arthrtis and Injury Relieved Quickly I am so happy that I found your ultra sound. I injured my knee at the gym; using too much weight on it. I couldn't walk without a cane, so I had the chiropractor X-ray it and he said he thought I had torn at least one ligament, as soft tissue does not show up on X-ray. I found your wonderful ultra-sound on-line, and ordered it immediately. From the very first treatment, with the wonderful gel that accompanied it, I noticed relief. After two weeks, I knew I was healing. I still use it at night if I overdo things during the day, and it keeps the frightful pain away. I shall always keep this wonderful modality on hand with your gel. It has turned out to be a blessing for my knee arthritis as well. Barbara Merlin
California Rating: Ironman Competitor Regrets Not Purchasing Ultrasound Sooner
Thanks for the follow up email from my ultrasound purchase. It is a miracle, and a quick one at that.
I am an Ironman and suffered from IT Band Syndrome beginning in June. The pain was excruciating. Not only could I no longer run or bike, but I also suffered from merely walking. I've been to every doctor, tried every therapy and non-pharmaceutical treatment available. It has been 4 months since my last run. After using the ultrasound machine for a week, I ran yesterday for 20 minutes as a trial--the pain was minimal. As I continue with my therapy my only regret is that I did not make this purchase 4 months ago when I first came upon your website. Thank you so much! I can't wait to get back out on the road and now I know that day is right around the corner. L Towne

Virginia USA Rating: Knee Injury from Hiking I sustained a re-injury to the lateral right knee in a hiking incident on a wet path. Initially, I treated with anti-inflammatory medication, ice, elevation and knee brace. This injury was very similar to the previous knee injury, so I thought my knee would heal without seeking orthopedic evaluation. I started using a heating pad with a massage feature to relieve pain and found that the heat helped tremendously, but did not radiate deep enough into my knee. Since I am a Certified Rehabilitation RN [Registered Nurse], I started researching the Internet looking for a product that would provide radiant heat. I was happy to discover your Inferno Knee Wrap. I have been using it several times a day for several weeks and I am now pain free and functionally able to resume all activities. I still continue using the Inferno Knee Wrap on a daily basis in hopes that I can prevent another knee injury. Thank you for such a wonderful product.

Louisiana USA Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] After only 7 days, I Notice Results In February of this year [2010], I injured my knee while exercising. Since I lost my health benefits through my job due to the economy, I wasn't able to afford a professional diagnosis. The outside area of my left knee was swollen, stiff and painful and I could not put any weight on that area. After mowing my lawn, gardening, exercising or any other physical activity the swelling, stiffness and pain were much worse. I was using a bag of frozen crinkle cut carrots attached by a rubber band around my knee to help alleviate the pain & swelling - not a very high tech solution! I searched online to find what if anything I could do myself to rehab and repair my injury and thankfully I found your web site.
From the information your site provided, I determined I had a torn meniscus as the symptoms associated with that were exactly what I was experiencing. I ordered the Ultrasound, Knee Inferno Wrap and Knee Freezie Wrap, received it in less than one week and began using the products immediately.
It has now been 7 days since I started using the products and I have already noticed results.
My swelling has gone down, the pain is gone and the stiffness is occasional instead of constant. I am so delighted with these results as I am very active and this knee problem was really affecting my lifestyle. Not only that, but I was looking forward to doing a lot of surfing this summer and I am excited as I believe I will be able to without any problems!
I can't thank you enough for your very informative web site and your wonderful products. Another bonus of having them is the Ultrasound can be used on other parts of the body and I will own these products forever. Hopefully I won't have to use it on any other part of my body but if I do I sure have some valuable peace of mind knowing how well and how quickly this has worked for me. The convenience of using these products at home versus the high cost of [therapy] appointments and the inconvenience of traveling to [therapy] is fantastic! I will be telling everyone about your web site and products and that is saying a lot because it is rare and refreshing for me to find products that work so well. I'm obviously rating this 5 out of 5 stars! Laura

Everything you Need to Know about Phonophoresis
What is Phonophoresis?
Phonophoresis is the use of ultrasound to enhance the delivery of topically applied drugs. Effectively, medicines contained within or under the ultrasound gel are pushed by the sound waves of the ultrasound and driven deep below the skin.
Phonophoretically administered medications can penetrate the body to a much deeper level than those massaged by hand over the surface of the skin.
When you are suffering from any form of knee injury (bursitis, meniscus, hyperextension, arthritis, etc.) you need fast effective relief directly to the pain and inflammation in your knee joint. Now you can get relief , avoid / reduce the need for painful needles (cortisone shots) and ehance your joint mobility.
Recommended By Therapists
Cutting Edge Technology to Relieve Pain the Natural Way
Phonophoresis is most commonly used by Physical Therapists and Chiropractors in the treatment of localized physical injuries and is quite effective for treatment of a soft tissue knee injury.
As a very cutting edge technology, phonophoresis is currently being studied for the delivery of a vast array of medications. The only all natural, specifically designed phonophoretic product commercially available today is MendMeShop Lavender Infusion Ultrasound gel.
Protect Your Internal Organs
Relieve Pain Naturally and Directly in Your Knee!
One of the greatest benefits to delivering medications via phonophoresis is that the medication can be delivered locally to a desired area.
Oral pain killers and anti-inflamatory drugs are introduced to the entire body in equal amounts. Even if you only need pain relief or an anti-inflammatory in your knee, with oral medications you end up drugging your entire body - your brain, your lungs and even your heart!
With phonophoresis, the part of the body that receives the medication is the part of your body that needs it.
What Medications Can Be Used?
Only some medications can be delivered phonophoretically. The process is dependant on many, many factors including the type of drug and molecule size which are critical.
The drug molecule has to be just the right size to be picked up by the ultrasound waves and the right size to pass through the body tissue. As well, the medicinal molecule can't react with the ultrasound gel.
It must also be able to survive the thermal and vibrational effects of the ultrasound. The delivery of medications via ultrasound is truly a science unto its own.
The duration of the treatment and the need to adhere to a specific dose size is also a large consideration. Obviously, the longer ultrasound is used over a topical phonophoretic drug, the more the medication is delivered and the deeper it goes.
Drugs that require precise dosing, like insulin for example, cannot be controlled accurately enough to be delivered via Phonophoresis. Many natural analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs though are excellent candidates for phonophoretic application.
The Only Gel Of It's Kind!
The Most Effective, Natural Phonophoretic Gel Available
The science behind MendMeShop Gel is what makes this product unique. Its ability to penetrate deep into the body is the result of an intense effort to combine effective ingredients using a precise formulation process.
The ingredients must have the desired healing properties, but they also have to be just the right molecular size to permeate the skin. In addition, the gel has to be specially formulated to allow for the medicine to transfer out of the gel and deep into the skin and tissue.
The science behind our gel is very refined and that is why it is so effective.
MendMeShop Lavender Infusion Gel is made with the natural medicinal ingredients of Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Bulgarian Lavender and Menthol.
These natural ingredients have:
- Anesthetic
- Counter-irritant
- Anti-inflammatory
- Analgesic
- Decongestant
- Circulatory stimulant properties and more
Commitment to Product Purity
As part of MendMeShop's commitment to bringing safe, effective products to our consumers, we continually strive to ensure that all of our products meet global regulatory and scientific standards and requirements.
Recently we re-formulated our MendMeShop Ultrasound Gel to include more natural ingredients, such as Natural Bulgarian Lavender instead of the synthesized ingredient found in other ultrasound gel.
We have removed unnecessary dyes and also removed all Parabens from the gel as we believe there is sufficient evidence to suggest that Parabens negatively impact endocrine function and are possible, if not probable, carcinogens.
When applied topically and massaged into the skin with an ultrasound unit, MendMeShop Lavender Infusion Gel relieves pain and speeds healing without side-effects.
It's powerful, effective, hypoallergenic, and it works!

Some Facts About Knees:
Approximately 19.4 million visits to physicians' offices in the US per year are due to knee problems.
The knee is a complex joint with many components, making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries.
Oral medications can mask the pain but do not aid in the healing of knee injuries.
Most knee injuries can be successfully treated without surgery.
Sadly, regardless of treatment, ACL injuries in high-school youths are associated with a 10-fold increased risk for degenerative knee arthritis later in life.
Every year, at least 1 in 3000 Americans between ages 14 and 55 tear an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
