Tenex: A Cutting-Edge Achilles Tendon and Plantar Fascia Treatment

Causes of Fascia or Tendon Pain

Your tendon or fascia that may be causing pain is actually soft tissue that connects muscle to the bone. Often a tendon or fascia is sore because it’s been overused during day-to-day activities, sports or repetitive movements. Sometimes, a trip, fall or twist can cause pain in the tendon.

The problem is that injuries cause scar tissue to form. Internal scar tissue build-up causes pain, which can also limit the range of motion and movement.

What to Expect During the Tenex Procedure

University Foot and Ankle Institute doctors use a diagnostic ultrasound to pinpoint the exact area(s) of scar tissue. The ultrasound uses a specific frequency that, with a specially trained doctor or technician, can locate the difference between healthy tissue and scar tissue.

The actual Tenex Procedure usually takes only about 15 minutes. Afterward, there can be minor swelling.

Recovery time is greatly reduced from several months (with traditional surgery) to one to two weeks with Tenex. In most cases, you can begin light weight-bearing exercise within two weeks.

University Foot and Ankle Institute stands on the forefront of this exciting new procedure. Our doctors maximize every traditional and advanced technological modality to safely heal your foot and ankle challenges.
