Advanced TenJet Procedure for Chronic Tendon Pain

Chronic tendon pain in the foot and ankle can be debilitating, making daily activities difficult. If you have tried conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections without success, the Advanced TenJet Procedure may be the solution you need. This minimally invasive treatment uses high-pressure saline technology to precisely remove damaged tendon tissue while preserving healthy structures, providing long-term pain relief and improved mobility.

What Is the Advanced TenJet Procedure?

The TenJet Procedure is an ultrasound-guided, minimally invasive treatment designed to treat chronic tendon pain caused by conditions like Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and peroneal tendinitis. By using a pressurized saline jet to break down and remove damaged tissue, the procedure allows for faster healing and pain relief compared to traditional surgical methods.

Conditions Treated with the TenJet Procedure

The TenJet Procedure is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from:

  • Plantar fasciitis – Helps remove thickened, damaged fascia tissue to relieve heel pain.
  • Achilles tendinitis – Targets inflamed and degenerated fibers to restore tendon health.
  • Peroneal tendinitis – Eliminates scar tissue and promotes healing in the peroneal tendons.
  • Posterior tibial tendinitis – Addresses damage to the tendon responsible for arch support.
  • Chronic tendinopathy – Effective for persistent tendon pain resistant to conservative treatments.

How the TenJet Procedure Works

  1. Ultrasound-Guided Imaging – A podiatrist uses ultrasound to locate the damaged tendon tissue.
  2. Micro-Incision and TenJet Probe Insertion – A tiny incision is made, allowing the TenJet probe to be inserted.
  3. Saline Jet Treatment – The probe releases a high-pressure stream of saline to break up and remove damaged tissue.
  4. Healing and Recovery – With the injured tissue removed, the body naturally heals and restores function.

Benefits of the TenJet Procedure

  • Minimally invasive – Requires only a small incision, avoiding open surgery.
  • Quick recovery time – Most patients return to normal activities within a few weeks.
  • Targeted pain relief – Removes damaged tissue while preserving healthy structures.
  • Outpatient procedure – Performed under local anesthesia with no hospital stay required.
  • Long-lasting results – Stimulates natural healing and tissue regeneration for long-term relief.

What to Expect After Treatment

The TenJet Procedure is completed in under 30 minutes with minimal discomfort. Patients may experience mild soreness but can typically resume light activities within a few days. Full recovery and optimal pain relief are usually achieved within 4 to 6 weeks.

Who Is a Good Candidate for the TenJet Procedure?

This therapy is ideal for patients who:

  • Suffer from chronic tendon pain that has not improved with conservative treatments.
  • Have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or other tendon conditions.
  • Want a non-surgical option with minimal downtime and risk.
  • Seek a long-term solution to foot and ankle pain.
