What is Tenex Therapy?

Tenex Therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat chronic tendon pain and injuries. Using ultrasound guidance, this innovative treatment removes damaged tissue without needing surgery, promoting faster healing and pain relief. It is an excellent option for patients suffering from conditions like tennis elbow, Achilles tendinitis, or plantar fasciitis who want to avoid traditional surgery.

So, What Exactly is Tenex Therapy?

Tenex Therapy uses a specialized device to deliver ultrasonic energy to the affected tendon, breaking down and removing scar tissue or damaged areas. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes less than an hour, with most patients experiencing a faster recovery and return to activity. This precise, targeted approach avoids injury to healthy tissue, and by removing the tissue that is not healing, it addresses the root cause of pain.
