Dr Jed Robinson has been performing Tenex procedures for patients since 2020, see him at his Eugene clinic and see if you’re a candidate for eliminating your chronic tendon pain. ‘Tenex Health’s minimally invasive technology eliminates chronic tendon pain by precisely targeting and removing damaged tissue, without the need for conventional surgery.’ From the Tenex Health website, developed in collaboration with the world-renown MAYO Clinic, Tenex Health technology has been shown in clinical studies 1,2,5,6,7,8 to improve overall functionality and significantly decrease pain in the treatment of tendonitis in the elbow, hip, knee, ankle, and plantar fasciitis pain in the foot. The patented technology removes the source of pain, which is the damaged tissue, and helps stimulate a renewed healing response4. In some instances, patients will recover in as early as 3-6 weeks. What to Expect 1. Your doctor will use ultrasound imaging to visualize and identify the specific location of the damaged tendon. 2. Area will be numbed with a local anesthetic, applying Tenex Health’s ultrasonic tool to safely breakdown and remove the damaged tissue. 3. As the required incision is minimally-invasive and the ultrasonic energy precisely treats only the damaged tendon tissue, the surrounding healthy tissue is left unharmed.3,4,7 4. Stitches are not required & you will be able to go home immediately after the procedure is completed. 5. Engage in your ongoing rehab with DrJed.com!
