More Hip Injury Facts:

The hip joint (scientifically known as the acetabulofemoral joint) is a special type of 'ball-and-socket' joint. Its primary function is to support the weight of the body when at rest or while in motion.

Many patients with Hip Pain are actually diagnosed as suffering from Sciatica. Sciatica is best treated non-surgically with cold compression, therapeutic ultrasound and BFST.

The majority of chronic hip problems are a result of aging, disease (such as arthritis) and fractures.

A Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces the hip joint with an artifical joint. Many MendMyHip customers have sped up their post-surgery recovery time with our therapeutic tools.

Bursitis of the Hip (trochanteric bursitis) is so painful, many sufferers rely on a wheelchar for mobility. Hip Bursitis is the condition that responds extremely well to ultrasound treatments.

The most common injury in the hip is snapping hip syndrome due to a tight illotibial band. This syndrome responds very well to BFST treatments.

Hip Dislocations are very serious but uncommon injuries that occasionally can occur (usually from a traumatic event). If you suspect you have a dislocated hip, please seek medical attention immediately.

 

Dear MendMeShop,

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!

Enhance Your Hip Therapy with Phonophoresis!

What is Phonophoresis?

phonophoresis treatment for tendon damage in the hip joint will relieve 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 hip injury (bursitis, tendinitis, tendon tears, ligament strain, impingement syndrome, snapping hip syndrome etc.) you need fast effective relief directly to the pain and inflammation in your hip joint. Now you can get relief, reduce, or even avoid, the need for painful needles (cortisone shots) and ehance your hip 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 hip 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 Hip!

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 hip, with oral medications you end up drugging your entire body - your brain, your lungs and even your heart!

I use the ultrasound machine for my hip bursitis. I used it every day for 2 weeks and could really tell a difference. Now I use it every few days. I have very little pain now and can walk a lot longer each day.

I decided to try the ultrasound machine because the doctor I went to had used one on my hip in his office. I love the fragrance of the lavender gel and can feel it working after I am done with the machine. Give it a try. It is easy to use and the lavender gel is great!!!

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.

Hip Injury Facts:

Over 90% of hip fractures are caused by falling, most frequently on the side of the hip.

Less than 50% of hip fracture patients return to their former level of activity. Proper treatment is important to maintain strength and range of motion.

Hip alignment affects the pressure put on the knees. A hip disorder can aggravate knee pain and vice versa.

1 in 7 Americans, over the age of 60, reports significant hip pain.

In most cases, arthritis pain will not benefit from a hip arthroscopy.

70% of non-fracture hip replacements in 2003-2004 were to treat osteoarthritis.
