Letters From Our Customers:

As a die hard rugby player my body takes some serious abuse. I have a bunch of your cold wraps (excellent by the way) and two thermotex units. Recently I bought an ultrasound kit and you are quite right - the ultrasound took my whole therapy habit to another level. I use everything religously now as part of my regular training and I find I get hurt a lot less often. When I do take a bad hit, I bounce back in no time. Thank you for extending my career!

I have a customer who as suffering from arthritic pain. She came to see me for relief and I told her about the Thermotex™ infrared therapy system. She was a little reluctant when she heard about the cost, but I assured her that she could purchase it and use it for 30 days, if she wasn\'t completely happy with the results she could return it and get her money back. She purchased the pad on a Thursday, rushed back in on Tuesday to tell me how happy she was, not only with the results of pain relief, but the fact that she reduced her medicine intake, thereby reducing the side effects involved with medication and also reducing her cost. She was a very happy customer!

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 order 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.

I have fibromyalgia and have tried everything, so I was skeptical when my chiropractor recommended that I try the Ultrasound unit available at MendMeshop. But after 3 days of treatment on my lower back, I noticed a difference - I wasn't as stiff and I could walker further than I have been able to in years! I now treat my back once per day and have started working on my neck too. My kids have even mentioned that I'm smiling more now!

I have been suffering from a torn rotator cuff for 4 months. I have been seeing a professional physiotherapist for three of these months who said this injury will take about a year to heal. I decided to try a friend's therapy kit for use between visits, hoping for lots but not expecting much. I was truly amazed! I experienced as much healing in 3 weeks after using your products as I did in the first 3 months of therapy alone. I rarely feel the pain anymore and am able to use my arm normally. What an amazing difference! I have my own kit now and should hopefully be done treating my shoulder within another few weeks. I can't believe the difference!
Thank You,

I would very much like to write a review for your cold wraps since they have been such a help to me. I am an avid tennis player that has this year suffered from both elbow and achilles tendonitis. For years I've been the best in my club but once my tendonitis set in I just couldn't compete. I tried creams and pain killers and bands but they didn't get me better. I was beginning to fear I'd never recover. Then I ordered a radiant kit and cold wrap from you and things have really turned around. The tightness and inflammation seem to be pretty much gone and I can't say enough about how much the cold wrap helped for pain. It was like it was sucking the pain right out of my ankle - truly amazing!
Too bad for the rest of the club. They thought I was out for the season and now I'm back!

This is the first time I have had pain relief without drugs. The Thermotex pad has made my life better. I love it! We have ordered 4 more as gifts.

Working with an NFL team presents numerous types of injuries. The Thermotex infrared pad offers a portable, state of the art modality that provides results fast. From general muscle tension to spasm and edema, speeding recovery from fracture, or aiding in ligamentous repair, Thermotex systems are an invaluable tool utilized on a daily basis to help return players to the field. Thermotex systems also aid in general recovery and prevent injury. In working with Olympic level sprinters, the Thermotex system is utilized both in pre and post workout routines to improve blood flow, aid in metabolic waste product removal from the musculature speeding athlete recovery.

About 90% of my clients, who use one of the Thermotex pads that I send home with them to use, purchase it. It helps with the healing process, and gives them pain relief. Most of my clients are back issues, such as spasms, or herniated discs. I also have clients with knee problems and arthritis that have received relief using the Thermotex pad as well.

Diseases That Affect The Joints

Of the diseases or injuries that affect human joints, arthritis is no doubt the best-known joint disease. There are however many other diseases that can affect the joints. These diseases may be short-lived or exceedingly chronic, agonizingly painful or merely a minor irritation and uncomfortable, they may be confined to one joint or may affect many joints and other parts of the body.

Arthritis affects 70% of Americans

Primary forms of arthritis:

  • Osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease) is a condition in which inflammation results in pain in the joints. read more...
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis is traditionally considered a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the joints. read more...
  • Septic Arthritis is bacteria that is carried by the bloodstream from an infection elsewhere in the body, and penetrates the joint. read more...
  • Gout and Pseudogout is a painful condition that occurs when uric acid, a natural waste product, is deposited as needle-like crystals into the joints and/or soft tissues. read more...
  • Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis is the most common form of persistent arthritis in children. read more...
  • Still's Disease because this disease presents in many different ways, diagnosis is difficult. read more...
  • Ankylosing Spondylitis is a chronic, painful, degenerative inflammatory arthritis primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing eventual fusion of the spine. read more...

Of the diseases or injuries that affect your joints, arthritis is no doubt the best-known joint disease. There are however many other diseases that can affect the joints. These diseases may be short-lived or chronic, agonizingly painful, or merely a minor irritation and discomfort, they may be confined to one joint or may affect many as well as other parts of the body.

Diseases that can mimic arthritis include:

  • Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy more commonly known as 'Clubbing' in humans is a deformity of the fingers and fingernails that is associated with a number of diseases, mostly of the heart and lungs.
  • Multiple Myeloma is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow. Myeloma cells may also attack your bones causing pain and making bones crack or fracture more easily.
  • Osteoporosis is a disease that causes a decrease of bone mineral density increasing the risk of fractures. Minor fractures in bones close to a joint can cause pain and inflammation resembling a form of arthritis.
  • Fifth disease is also referred to as erythema infectiosum (meaning infectious redness) and as slapped cheek syndrome, slapcheek, slap face or slapped face, apple sickness or ringo-byo.

Conditions caused by symptoms:

  • Muscle and Bone Atrophy is a condition that can be caused by prolonged immobility. Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body and is a general physiological process of reabsorption and breakdown of tissues.
  • Clinical Depression is a serious illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts that cannot simply be willed or wished away. It is often a disabling disease that affects a person's work, family and school life, sleeping and eating habits, general health and ability to enjoy life.

Joint & Arthritis Facts:

You have over 230 moveable and semi-moveable joints in your body.
Joints are the place where two bones meet. All of your bones, except for one (the hyoid bone in your neck), form a joint with another bone. Joints hold your bones together and allow your rigid skeleton to move.
More than 40 million Americans are affected by some form of arthritis
The word arthritis literally means joint inflammation, but it’s used to refer to a group of more than 100 rheumatic diseases that can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints.
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) & pain killers can cause many short term and long term serious side effects.
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, especially among older people. Sometimes it is called degenerative joint disease or osteoarthrosis.
Rheumatoid arthritis, the second most common form of arthritis, affects other parts of the body besides the joints. It begins at a younger age than osteoarthritis, causes swelling and redness in joints, and may make people feel sick, tired, and sometimes feverish.
The long-term goal of pain management is to help patients cope with a chronic, often disabling disease. People with arthritis may be caught in a cycle of pain, depression, and stress.
