More Rotator Cuff Facts:

The rotator cuff is a shallow 'ball-and-socket' joint where the humerus (upper arm) meets the scapula (shoulder blade).

2-5% of the population will experience Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder), most for no apparent reason.

Women and diabetics are common sufferers of Frozen Shoulder.

Ultrasound Therapy can greatly reduce the time it takes to move through the 3 stages of Frozen Shoulder.

Rotator cuff tears occur most frequently in men, ages 40-50, who do manual overhead work.

The most common tendon torn in the rotator cuff is the supraspinatus tendon.

A complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon will limit your ability to lift your arm at your side (abduct).

Ultrasound Therapy can improve the range of motion in the shoulder joint as it reduces pain.

 

Dear MendMeShop,

I fell on my bike under a UPS truck (It wasn't moving yet) because I couldn't get my feet out of my clips and, consequently fell on my shoulder and tore my rotator cuff. The pain was almost intolerable, not to mention the inability to dress myself and do simple everyday tasks--like driving, working on computer, etc. I saw my chiropractor, received multiple massages, participated in physical therapy and alternated ice/heat packs. I knew from my masseuse that when you have an injury like this, it is very involved. There are several different muscles that support the rotator cuff and when they become inflamed, sometimes scar tissue is formed as your body starts to heal. The only thing that really seemed to help my shoulder improve and the pain subside was getting ultrasound at my Chiropractor's office, but since I couldn't afford to go that route on a daily basis, I searched online and found the MendMe shop's ultrasound wand. After two weeks of using the wand, I was able to slowly start to get my muscles to fire again and rehabilitate via swimming, light weights and simple yoga stretched. Now, I have full range of my shoulder and am ready to get back on my bike and try again!

Enhance Your Rotator Cuff Therapy with Phonophoresis!

What is Phonophoresis?

phonophoresis treatment for tendon damage in the rotator cuff will relieve shoulder pain and swelling

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 rotator cuff injury (bursitis, tendinitis, tendon tears, frozen shoulder, impingement syndrome, etc.) you need fast effective relief directly to the pain and inflammation in your rotator cuff. Now you can get relief, reduce, or even avoid, the need for painful needles (cortisone shots) and ehance your shoulder 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 rotator cuff 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 Rotator Cuff!

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 shoulder, 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

MendMeShop Lavender Infusion Ultrasound Gel is Great for Phonophoresis Therapy

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.

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.

Rotator Cuff Injury Facts:

The term "rotator cuff" refers to a group of four tendons that attach four shoulder muscles to the upper arm bone.

About 6 million people in the U.S. seek medical care each year for shoulder problems.

The shoulder joint has the widest range of motion of all joints in the body.

Ultrasound Therapy can speed rotator cuff injury recovery significantly.

Continual repetitive use of the injured rotator cuff will lead to a worse injury.

Although the rotator cuff can tear suddenly as a result of a serious injury, most rotator cuff problems develop over time.
