America Cryo - How to Recover from Rotator Cuff Injury

  The rotator cuff is a system of muscles and ligaments in the shoulder that keep the shoulder joint in place and allow the wide range of movement that the joint is able to perform. Injuries to this area are a common occurrence , with some two million Americans visiting their healthcare provider due to problems with this body part each year. Some people are more susceptible to rotator cuff injury than others are. These include: People over the age of 50 Those who participate in overhead sports like baseball, volleyball, and swimming Those who perform repetitive motions in their job, like construction workers, painters, factory workers, and similar People who do strenuous workouts involving their arms on a regular basis. The more repeated stress you put on the area and the wider range of motion you use while doing so, the greater the risk of damage. Stages of Rotator Cuff Injury Luckily, many of these injuries heal on their own, but it depends upon the level of progression that has ...

  The G5 Equitec massage device is an infrasound (<20 Hz) generator. Transmitted to matter, they generate longitudinal mechanical waves, that is to say they oscillate in the direction of their propagation: this consists in a succession of compressions and decompressions of the matter. Their propagation is rectilinear. To be effective deep down, these infrasonic vibrations must be applied perpendicularly to the tissue and at very low frequencies (<20 Hz).   The Directional-Stroking When using the G5 Equitec, the lower the motor frequency, the deeper the vibratory waves will penetrate into the tissue. On the other hand, the higher the motor frequency, the more superficial the treatment, inducing hyperhemia and local increase of blood and lymph circulation.   This simple vibratory technique, tried and tested in human medicine for 50 years, fits perfectly within the variety of equine osteopathy and veterinary treatments, thus constituting a consistent and effective var...

Why R.I.C.E isn't enough - America Cryo

  RICE, or sometimes PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation) has been the standard modality of care for musculoskeletal injuries for nearly four decades . It was first introduced by Gabe Mirkin in his Sportsmedicine Book in 1978. The term caught on and was taken as law throughout the last 40 years by athletes, doctors, and physical therapists alike. While the basic principles are sound as far as immediate treatment of an acute injury, there are some problems with the practice. Compliance tends to be low due to the difficulty of repeatedly applying messy ice bags to an area several times per day. Attempting to hold the bag or pack in place with an elastic bandage offers mediocre effectiveness at best, making the compression factor inconsistent and thus fairly ineffective. It’s difficult to maintain this routine while trying to attend to one’s obligation such as home, family, and work. More often than not, people tend to turn to painkillers such as NSAIDs or even narcot...

Equine Radial Shockwave - Equine Shockwave Therapy Machine | Best Equine Radial

  SmartWave BS-SWTX adopts extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), which is a method for the treatment of superficial orthopedic disorders developed over the past 20 years. The extreme method of using bundled sound waves with high intensity was selected because the mechanical/acoustic waves of force can be focused at a defined point with a parabolic reflector to ensure that stress limits are not exceeded in the remaining tissue. The penetrating depth can reach 0 - 60mm.  
 With different tips, the BS-SWTX shockwave therapy system can cover most typical applications includes: Suspensory ligament branch, Collateral ligament, Joints, Nuchal ligament, Arthropathy, Muscle trigger points, Sciatica, Myositis, Fibrosis, Chronic back pain, Hip and elbow dysplasia, Painful scar tissue, General Massage. It is widely installed for treatment target which covers: rehabilitation medicine, orthopedics, sport medicine, pain treatment (chronic/acute) and acupuncture Specifications of Acoustic...
