Tenex Minimally Invasive Tendon Treatment
Chronic tendon pain is difficult to live with.
Tendon pain can’t be ignored because of the crucial part that tendons play in our daily movement. Tendons are helpful tissues that connect muscles to bones and provide our bodies with the ability to walk, jump, and run.
When tendons are damaged, causing tendonitis, simple movements like walking become painful and mobility is restricted. Foot tendonitis can develop due to several causes:
- An acute injury, such as during sports
- Flat feet
- Arthritis
- Dislocation or other causes of inflammation
- Less commonly, age can cause tendonitis
As tendons degenerate and develop scar tissue pain can worsen over time with repetitive activity.
Common symptoms of tendonitis include achiness, snapping sounds in the foot and/or ankle, pain that worsens with activity, and weakness.
Treating chronic tendon pain without surgery is possible. However, if you’ve tried icing, over-the-counter medications, orthotics, and physical therapy without experiencing tendon pain relief, you may believe that surgery is inevitable.
Thankfully, an innovative and minimally invasive procedure can ease your tendon pain without surgery.
Get relief from tendon pain with Tenex.
Dr. Frankel offers patients a new procedure to heal chronic foot and ankle tendonitis. It’s called Tenex, and it provides revolutionary pain relief without conventional surgery.
By targeting the scar tissue that has developed from injury and overuse, Tenex removes the source of chronic tendon pain and allows the tendon to heal.
Patients experience renewed functionality and mobility as well as pain relief from foot tendonitis.
How does Tenex work?
Tenex’s cutting-edge technology uses an ultrasonic tool that removes scar tissue by vibrating at a high frequency.
Once you arrive for your appointment with Dr. Frankel, you can expect the following steps for your Tenex treatment:
- Dr. Frankel will clean the area and use ultrasound imaging to view your tendons during the treatment.
- The area will be numbed with a local anesthetic. You will not feel any pain during the procedure, but it is common to feel a small amount of pressure.
- Damaged tissue will be gently removed with the Tenex ultrasonic technology through a small incision (less than a quarter-inch).
- The procedure is minimally-invasive, so Dr. Frankel will simply apply a small bandage to the area after the procedure is complete.
The entire procedure takes less than half an hour, and unlike traditional surgery, you will be able to return home as soon as it is complete.
Benefits and Side Effects
Tenex is an effective procedure proven by multiple studies to improve the overall functionality of patients’ mobility and drastically reduce pain caused by damaged tendons.
Other benefits of treating chronic tendon pain with Tenex include:
- A quick procedure: The entire procedure is performed in less than half an hour, and a local anesthetic is used as opposed to general anesthesia.
- A short recovery time: Patients are able to return home right after their procedure and may recover within 4-6 weeks of the treatment. That is a quarter of the recovery time after a surgical procedure!
- No stitches or sutures: Since the incision is small, no stitches or sutures are required, so scarring is minimal.
- Unharmed tissue: The procedure only affects the damaged tendons, so the surrounding healthy tissue is left unharmed.
For some patients, Dr. Frankel may prescribe physical therapy to aid the healing process and strengthen the muscles surrounding the tendons. Also, patients can relieve any pain after the procedure with over-the-counter medications, as opposed to heavy medications after surgery.
