Do You Suffer from Tendon Damage? Tenex Might Be a Solution for You
Is your tendon pain interfering with your work, play or lifestyle? Are you silently suffering because you were previously told there is no other option for you but a major or invasive surgery with a long recovery? Or perhaps you know that all the ice and stretching in the world is not going to make your pain disappear.
If you have tried physical therapy, cortisone injections, and medication, or if you have simply taken time to ice, stretch and rest and you are still in pain, talk to us! We now have a solution that does not involve general or open surgery, and it will give you quick pain reduction and have you back to enjoying the things you love in a few weeks to a few months.
Tenex Health TX
Our practice offers Tenex Health TX™, a safe, quick procedure specially designed for those who are suffering from painful conditions associated with tendon damage, commonly referred to as pain in the rotator cuff, tennis or golfer’s elbow, runner’s or jumper’s knee, Achilles tendonitis or plantar fasciitis.
The Tenex Health TX System is based on advanced technology developed in collaboration with the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. It combines ultrasound imaging to identify damaged tissue with the advanced TX MicroTip™, which precisely breaks down and removes only the damaged tissue that causes pain. Removing the damaged tissue allows the tendon to heal and provides pain relief. The Tenex Health TX procedure is not open surgery and can be performed in an office or procedure room in an outpatient surgery center.
