Hello tgrichards,

Thank you for posting.

From the sounds of it, you would most likely benefit from our combination therapy. By combining the usage of BFST and ColdCure wraps, you will help the healing process, and strengthen your knee. Using BFST prior to exercise or activity will help promote the blood flow and elasticity, lowering the chance of re-injury. After activity, applying the ColdCure wrap to your knee will help control any swelling or inflammation that has come from your activity.

By combining the treatments you will have more control over the healing process taking place within your knee.

Hope this helps, call us toll free at 1-877-661-5239 for further explanation.

lire,

Thanks for posting, that is a great question.

INF or InfaRed does not match up to our BFST Energy Webs. InfaRed technology is a heat source. Our BFST Energy Webs are designed to promote blood flow deep within the soft tissues, while minimizing the heat produced.

Hi 'Horseshoer', thank you for your posting your questions. With tendonitis of any kind, you will be looking at an average of six weeks to get your inflammation under control. For pain management, this depends on the individual. Please make sure you use the cold treatments 3-4 times a day, especially at the end of the day.

Compressions will provide you with support to help prevent re-injury and avoid further damage. If you require any suggestions or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team.

Hi mindy,

Thanks for the post, and that is an excellent question!

You should allow your bodies temperature to stabilize before switching from ColdCure to BFST; with ColdCure treatments it decreases swelling and circulation. By allowing your bodies temperature to stabilize, it will allow the BFST treatment to be more effective. As for BFST transitioning to ColdCure, you should allow 3-4 hour after a BFST treatment to treat with ColdCure because the ColdCure treatment right after, or within a short amount of time will negate any progress the BFST treatment has made. BFST will stimulate your blood flow and a treatment of ColdCure would cancel out the benefits of a 20 minute BFST treatment.

The best way to treat is to apply BFST (provided there is no inflammation present) then allow 3-4 hours before you apply ColdCure. If you are active, then treat with BFST before your activity, then treat with ColdCure after the activity to reduce any swelling from the activity itself.

Hi eightthirty,

Thank you for both your posts. Glad to hear about your success with BFST!

Pampullen,

How has your treatment progressed?

Hi Pampullen,

The TENS unit is great for managing chronic pain by relieving muscle tension but it will not increase your blood circulation to prevent numbness etc. which is related to Carpal Tunnel. Our BFST Wrist Wrap would help bring more blood flow into your wrist to resolve your carpal tunnel syndrome meanwhile getting rid of the numbness, discomfort or tingling sensation you may be experiencing in your fingers.

Hi Pampullen,

Thanks for your post!

Our ColdCure Knee wrap is greatly effective at reducing the amount of inflammation in the knee area. In the majority of cases, we recommend at least 48 hours of ColdCure treatments, but it sounds like you have a vast amount of inflammation. We would recommend that you use our ColdCure Knee wrap for at least a 4 day period continuously, then after that as needed.

As for healing your meniscus tear, our ColdCure Knee wrap would not be effective for actually beginning the healing process, as our ColdCure products treat pain, swelling and inflammation; if you are looking to heal your meniscus naturally, you should be treating with our BFST Knee wrap. 

Our Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy Knee wrap will stimulate your blood flow, bringing high amounts of oxygen and nutrients to your meniscus, stimulating your bodies natural ability to heal. The ColdCure Knee is a great start for the healing process, by controlling the swelling and inflammation, however the BFST Knee wrap is what your looking for to really heal your meniscus tear.

If you have any questions about the ColdCure and BFST lines, feel free to call us toll free at 1-877-661-5239. We are available 7 days per week from 8am-midnight EST.
