Advanced Tenex Health Procedure for Chronic Foot and Ankle Pain
What Is the Advanced Tenex Health Procedure?
Conditions Treated with the Tenex Health Procedure
This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from:
- Plantar fasciitis 鈥� Helps remove scar tissue in the plantar fascia to relieve heel pain.
- Achilles tendinitis 鈥� Reduces inflammation and damaged tendon fibers for improved mobility.
- Peroneal tendinitis 鈥� Targets the peroneal tendons to restore normal function.
- Posterior tibial tendinitis 鈥� Addresses damage to the tendon supporting the arch.
- Chronic tendinopathy 鈥� Treats persistent tendon pain resistant to conventional treatments.
How the Tenex Health Procedure Works
- Ultrasound-Guided Imaging 鈥� A physician uses high-resolution ultrasound to locate the damaged tissue.
- Micro-Incision and Tenex Probe Insertion 鈥� A tiny incision is made, allowing the ultrasonic Tenex probe to enter the affected area.
- Breakdown and Removal of Damaged Tissue 鈥� The probe emits high-frequency energy to break down and remove scar tissue.
- Healing and Recovery 鈥� With damaged tissue removed, the body鈥檚 natural healing process restores function and reduces pain.
Benefits of the Tenex Health Procedure
- Minimally invasive 鈥� Requires only a small incision, avoiding open surgery.
- Quick recovery time 鈥� Most patients resume normal activities within weeks instead of months.
- Targeted pain relief 鈥� Precisely removes damaged tissue without harming healthy structures.
- Outpatient procedure 鈥� Typically performed in a clinic under local anesthesia.
- Long-term relief 鈥� Encourages natural healing for sustained pain reduction.
