Tenex for tendon pain

Inflammation, irritation or swelling of a tendon—called tendonitis—is often the result of an injury or from excessive repetitive motion. Sadly, the activities we love the most can often be the culprit. Competitive athletes and weekend enthusiasts experience swimmer’s shoulder, tennis or golfer’s elbow, and runner’s or jumper’s knee.

If you know the pain of those injuries or have experienced Achilles tendonitis or plantar fasciitis, you know the ongoing frustration of tendon damage. When more conservative treatments like rest, ice or heat, Ibuprofen, physical therapy or even cortisone injections fail to provide relief, frustration mounts.

The Tenex Health™ System is a safe and quick outpatient procedure specially designed for those suffering from painful conditions associated with chronic tendon damage, particularly those of the following:

• Elbow
• Shoulder
• Hip
• Knee
• Ankle
• Plantar fasciitis pain in the foot

The breakthrough procedure, designed in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic and approved by the FDA, combines ultrasound imaging with TX MicroTip technology to identify and gently remove the cause of your pain at the source—the damaged and degenerated tendon tissue.

Tenex has been shown to be safe and effective, with 99.99% of cases performed without complications, while dramatically decreasing pain and improving overall functionality– all without the need for traditional open surgery or arthroscopic surgery. For patients, this means no stitches, recovery with less pain, and minimal downtime.

Patients with tendon pain or tendonitis are seen in Mora, Hinckley and Pine City. To learn more, call Welia Health at 320.679.1313 or schedule an appointment using MyChart.
