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.

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!
