Good morning, mjlamarche:

I'm sorry to hear that you're continuing to experience pain in your feet since your initial injury last year. Our products are designed to work towards healing any types of soft tissue injury, whether it be ligament muscle or tendon damage.

Anything you do throughout the day, that causes an increase in pain should be avoided to the best of your ability. Respecting the pain will help you progress with your recovery. When your pain level does increase after you've been active - cold treatments will help reduce the pain naturally.

Using the BFST on the lowest level possible to feel a slight warming sensation, and getting into a good routine of using the BFST 3-4 times a day will help give you the best results. Don't feel like you need to get up to Level 3 to make a full recovery. Most people stay on Level 1 or Level 2 throughout the duration of their recovery.

Feel free to reach out if you require any further support.

Best regards,

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

Completing BFST treatments directly on skin and not over clothing is recommended. Using the BFST over clothing will make the treatments less effective.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at 844-400-2525 or via email at service@kingbrand.com

Hello stevesolo,

It would be most effective to allow the skin to cool down before using the BFST device. Too much warmth detected by the BFST can actually cause it to turn off on its own. Also, with the heating pad making the skin very hot, this cause blood to pool at the surface of the skin; this creates a physical barrier for the energy produced by the BFST to move through, which can cause the treatment to be less effective.

I would recommend to discontinue the use of the heating pad while trying out our products. This way you can be sure exactly what is going to help the most; King Brand products or other products.

Feel free to contact us at 844-400-2525 if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Dillon with King Brand

Hello tendon3?,

Unfortunately, we do not have a ColdCure device that would work for treating both of those injuries simultaneously. To get an effective cold therapy on both injuries, you would need two different devices. Our Achilles ColdCure for Achilles tendonitis and a Foot ColdCure for plantar fasciitis.

One thing I might suggest that would be a bit unorthodox; if you purchased the Achilles wrap, you could possibly use it for your plantar fasciitis by simply laying it flat on the floor and placing the bottom of your foot on it. It would be a bit different, since the wrap won't be fitted to your foot like the Foot ColdCure would be, but if you're trying to save some money, that may be something to consider.

Feel free to call us at 844-400-2525, or email us at service@kingbrand.com, if you ever have any questions!

Hi Loug,

Don't allow your Meniscus to be cut away forever by "repair surgery". You should only undergo Meniscus surgery if it is absolutely necessary. Your Meniscus is living tissue that can heal. Meniscus Repair Surgery very rarely actually repairs your Meniscus. The procedure usually gets rid of the pain by getting rid of the tissue, not fixing the actual problem.
If the tear is a complete tear, surgery is sometimes necessary, however, our products can also be used post surgery to help you heal more quickly.

Our products can help to fully heal a meniscus tear.

If you want to heal your Meniscus as quickly and completely as possible, we recommend using the BFST Knee Wrap and ColdCure Knee Wrap. While rest will help you avoid doing any further damage to your Meniscus, rest alone is not enough to accelerate the healing process. If you want to get back to doing your regular activities in a reduced amount of time, the BFST and ColdCure Knee Wraps can help with that.

Wear a ColdCure Knee Wrap as much as possible to relieve your pain and swelling and protect your Meniscus from further damage. It's important to understand that while cold therapy is an essential first step to healing, cold itself won't heal your underlying injury. The purpose of cold is to eliminate your inflammation and help with the pain. The BFST should not be used until the inflammation and pain are gone from the affected area, because you want to restrict the blood vessels when you have pain and swelling, not open them up. Blood flow therapy works to speed up the healing process for tissue that's no longer painful or swollen.

After the swelling and inflammation have been reduced, you will want to begin using the BFST Knee Wrap and doing 3-4 treatments throughout the day. The most important treatments are first thing in the morning and right before you go to bed. The treatment first thing in the morning will act as a "warm-up" for your knee, and the treatment right before bed will help your circulation improve as you sleep. You will also want to use the BFST before any physical activity. This will help you heal quickly. The BFST stimulates blood flow through your Meniscus while you are at rest. It is designed to promote blood flow in injured tissue below the dermal (fat and skin) layer. Utilizing our proprietary Energy Web®, specially controlled and incredibly safe, low levels of EMR energy envelop your knee and stimulate blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath the skin. The resulting stimulation brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured area, accelerating the healing process. Adequate blood flow is required for the Meniscus tissue to heal properly and quickly.

Finally, you will want to use KB Support Tape to avoid reinjuring the area as much as possible. KB Support Tape is designed to provide tissue with extra support, and also helps prevent re-injury. KB Support Tape can be worn any time but it is most important during physical activity.

Using these three products, the ColdCure Knee Wrap, BFST Knee Wrap and KB Support Tape will help to fully heal your Meniscus Tear.

As for how long this can take, that does depend on the severity of the injury, but it can take a while for injuries to fully heal, especially if the area is not getting rest or is reinjured. I have provided a link below that contains more information on the healing process and how our products can help with healing.

Hi islandboy101,

Meniscus "Repair" Surgery almost always involves cutting away torn sections of the Meniscus. The name is misleading. Very seldom does Meniscus Repair Surgery actually repair or stitch back together your Meniscus. The procedure usually gets rid of the pain by getting rid of the tissue, not fixing the actual problem. Meniscus Surgery should really be a last resort.

If you want to heal your Meniscus as quickly and completely as possible, you need a proactive treatment solution. While rest will help you avoid doing any further damage to your Meniscus, rest alone is not enough to accelerate the healing process. If you want to get back to doing your regular activities like playing rugby, in a reduced amount of time, you need our BFST and ColdCure Knee Wraps.

Wear a ColdCure Knee Wrap as much as possible to relieve your pain and swelling and protect your Meniscus from further damage. It's important to understand that while cold therapy is an essential first step to healing, cold itself won't heal your underlying injury. The purpose of cold is to eliminate your inflammation and help with the pain. The BFST should not be used until the inflammation and pain are gone from the affected area, because you want to restrict the blood vessels when you have pain and swelling, not open them up. Blood flow therapy works to speed up the healing process for tissue that's no longer painful or swollen.

The most important treatments are first thing in the morning and right before you go to bed. The treatment first thing in the morning will act as a "warm-up" for your knee, and the treatment right before bed will help your circulation improve as you sleep. You will also want to use the BFST before any physical activity. This will help you heal quickly. The BFST stimulates blood flow through your Meniscus while you are at rest. This is very important because while at rest, an unaided and inflamed Meniscus can otherwise have seriously impeded blood flow. It is the oxygen and nutrient-rich blood that enables the healing process, so adequate blood flow is required for the Meniscus tissue to heal properly and quickly.

Finally, you will want to use KB Support Tape to avoid reinjuring the area as much as possible. KB Support Tape is designed to provide tissue with extra support, and also helps prevent re-injury. KB Support Tape can be worn any time but it is most important during physical activity.

Using these three products, the ColdCure Knee Wrap, BFST Knee Wrap and KB Support Tape will help to heal your Meniscus Tear. If you have any further questions, or would like to speak to a treatment advisor, please feel free to contact us at 844-400-2525.
