Just wanted to let u know that I had a cervical anterieur dissectomie due to a prolapsed disc
pressing on a root nerve. The cervical pillow helped me
to rest my neck in a proper position before the operation; and the pillow is now also helping
me after the ops......I just can' t sleep without it, it as definitely improved my posture and more importantly I wake up without pain. Many many thanks.!"

"I came across this Web site by accident and am glad that I did. The customer service has been great in helping me make intelligent decisions for my purchases. I have been using the small Linear Gravity Pillow for a few weeks now for regular sleeping and love the way it feels. I started for the first week using the side where the neckroll is smaller. I then switched to the side that is slightly larger. I mainly use it for laying on my back, but I find it is equally comfortable in the sidelying position. I have noticed that my upper trapezius muscles are less sore/tense and that the twinge I would feel in my neck when rotating it sideways has decreased.The radiculopathy in my fingers has lessened slightly. I have C4-6 mild disc bulges, central canal stenosis and foraminal compromise. It has affected my finger function for what I need to do to earn a living. I was so impressed with this pillow and the hope that I can continue my career plans and avoid surgery. Today I purchased the Cervical Traction Neck Pillow and the Pronex Pneumatic Cervical Traction unit."

Ankle and Foot Products
The Ankle Joint
The ankle joint is also known as the talocrural joint. The ankle joint is the most frequently injured joint in the body. The main movements of the ankle joint include dorsiflexion and plantarflexion.
Injuries of the Ankle Joint
Injuries of the ankle joint are very common. Often they happen with a sudden sharp twist of the ankle, upon a result of losing ones balance. These ankle injuries can happen in our everyday life, Often as a result of a slip or fall. Ankle injuries can increase when one wears high heels or is overweight.
Sprains & Strains
An ankle strain occurs when a muscle or tendon overstretches. An ankle sprain occurs when strong connective tissue that connects one bone to another (ligaments). Ofen an ankle sprain results from twisting on the weight bearing foot. It is often an inversion type of injury (the foot is forcefully inverted or turned inward).This often happens when a person steps on an uneven surface and falls. What happens is that this stretches most of the fibres of the lateral ligaments and tears some of them; Often the ankle will become painful and becomes swelled.
Treatment for Ankle Injuries
Most ankle strains and sprains heal in 2 to 6 weeks, with proper treatment. Severe injuries may take as long as 12 weeks to heal and may require physical therapy to restore full muscle balance and strength. Physical therapy may involve stretching the Achilles tendon, as well as coordination and speed exercises. During this time, the ankle may require taping or bracing to provide support until full function is regained.
Patients who experience an ankle injury are at risk for recurrent injury during and following recovery and should take precautions. Shoes that provide stability and support are a prudent investment, and supplemental bracing with a specially fitted elastic wrap may be recommended. In some cases, custom orthotics are prescribed to help provide ankle stability after an injury.
Sprains are graded on a scale of 1 to 3 (mild, moderate, and severe), depending on the degree of tearing to the ligaments. Often x-rays are taken to find out if there is a fracture or a dislocation
Treatment usually involves RICE - rest, ice, compression, and elevation:
Rest: The injured body part should be immobilized (kept stationary) for 3 to 6 days. This decreases internal bleeding and swelling to preven the injury from becoming worse
Ice: This is the best method for soft-tissue injuries. It aids in reducing swelling, bleeding, spasms and pain. Apply within 24 hours of injury, using the 20-50 rule of 20 minutes on, 50 minutes off. With our CorPak™, you can both ice and heat. To activate, you simply chill in the freezer or heat in the microwave. CorPaks also feature a soft “frost free” surface that protects your skin and non-toxic gel that’s biodegradable.
Compression: For a severe injury, immediate compression (pressure) is important to decrease bleeding and keep fluids from pooling in the area. Compression should be continued throughout the day and removed at night. The adjustable strapping on our CorPaks makes it easy to ice and compress simultaneously.
Elevation: Elevating the injured area above the heart helps reduce internal bleeding and swelling.
It is important to stabilize the ankle joint and support stretched tendons and ligaments with our Ankle Supports Arc4life is proud to offer a variety of ankle support products. Its important to stabilize the ankle joint and support stretched tendons and ligaments, especially after severe sprains, strains or cast removal. You can use the CorPak™ hot and cold therapies to decrease swelling, increase circulation and promote healing. Even after the swelling comes down, your ankle may still be weak because you haven't used it on a regular basis (it has not been weight bearing for a period of time). Utilize the Core ankle supports to help prevent future injury.
