Please see attached image for a suggestion on how to wrap your wrist to target your thumb.  Many of our customers do use it for the thumb with success and I think what is important to understand is to do what works for you.  Ensure the cold is targeted to the area of pain and use the wrap to hold in place as spot needed.   I hope this image helps and please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your enquiry.   The wraps focus on decreasing the inflammation with the ColdCure wrap and then by using the BFST wrap, it will promote blood flow through the Carpal Tunnel to help heal and repair.  The BFST uses Electro-magnetic energy to penetrate deep with in...similar to ultra sound therapy... to bring nutrient rich blood flow through the targeted area.

If you just had surgery, I would recommend staying with the ColdCure for a few days to even a couple weeks depending on your pain and swelling.  You do not want to promote blood flow to an area that is inflamed.  Once your pain level has decreased you routinely use the BFST to keep optimal circulation.  I have attached a few links to specific pages on our site relevant to carpal tunnel and instructions.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Treatment slightly varies from person to person, but generally:
Start with just the ColdCure, multiple times a day for 20 minutes at a time.  After a few days, when you notice a decrease in your level of pain, you can incorporate the BFST.
Level 1 to start, 3-4 times a day for 20 minutes.  Go back to Cold anytime you are in more pain.
I have included links to some more detailed instructions that may help.  Keep in mind, ColdCure when in pain and BFST routinely when feeling generally ok.

Thank you for your interest in King Brand.  I hope by using the BFST it will give you some relief.  By bringing blood flow through the area, it can only help.  It may not make the pain go away 100% but it may manage your day to day much better.  You can also benefit a lot from adding Cold therapy into your day.  Keeping the inflammation down is key in helping the good blood flow through as well.

I hope you will be able to decrease the pain medication by using the BFST routinely.  Please do not use the BFST if you have had cortisone within the last 4-6 weeks as it can affect your blood pressure.  Also discontinue if you feel added discomfort from using it.  Read instructions thoroughly and work your way slowly through the levels of intensity.  It is a matter of conditioning your hip to get used to the stimulated circulation.

Please let us know if you have any questions along the way.   In your case I am not sure if anything will get fixed or fully healed, but as mentioned before, it will hopefully manage the pain.

All the best
Ashley

Great to hear Tony.  Thanks for following up.

Al the best.

No, you do not have to remove your sock.  The treatment will still be effective with it on.  Please note if you are wearing very thick socks, that will decrease the effectiveness.

Please let us know if you have any further questions and we wish you all the best with your treatment going forward.

Wayne,
In terms of the treatment area of both the BFST and ColdCure wraps for the foot, they both go slightly up the heal.  If you find that they are not reaching the area needed, the Achilles may be the way to go.  Please note that the achilles wraps have a cut out at the heal to enable the wrap to confirm around the achilles.  If you find the area needed  is higher than the treatment are=a of the foot than the achilles should target better.
From what I know, Haglunds can cause bursitis in which the ColdCure would be very beneficial.  Then by using the BFST routinely, this should help prevent the inflammation from building up too much and manage the injury.
I hope this helps, please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your interest in King Brand and sorry to hear about your elbow.

The Basics wrap is a sleeve style elastic wrap with the gel pack sewn within.  When you need to get it cold, the whole wrap has to go in the fridge or freezer.
The ColdCure comes with an open wrap, adjustable by Velcro and 3 separate gel packs.  You can rotate the gels out and always have a cold one ready when the one in the wrap loses its cold.
Both are one size fits all and side interchangeable.

The most common is the ColdCure as you get the extra gel packs and you can make it as tight or as loose as needed.

I hope this information helps, please let us know if you have any further questions regarding our products.
King Regards,
