Tenex

Dr. Jondy performs TENEX tendon surgeries. If you are experiencing chronic tendon pain, please make an appointment to discuss your available options or treatments.

The Tenex procedure is a trademarked, non-surgical procedure that helps patients who are suffering from chronic tendon pain by nonsurgically removing damaged scar tissue on the tendons. This procedure, developed by Tenex Health, is particularly effective on the tendons of the elbow, shoulder, knee and ankle.

Recovery time after Tenex is generally 4-6 weeks, about a quarter of the normal recovery time. Physical therapy may be added for some patients to improve the overall success of the procedure. After the procedure, most patients are able to use over the counter medications like Tylenol to relieve any pain.

QUESTION:  Does the procedure using Tenex Health technology hurt?

ANSWER: Typically, a local anesthetic will be used to numb the area, which may cause you to feel a momentary bee sting-type pain before the procedure. However, you should not feel any pain during the procedure, only a slight pressure.
