Tenex Treatment for Chronic Tendon Pain in Greensburg, PA
The team at DiCesare Orthopedic Medicine is excited to utilize the advanced, minimally-invasive technology Tenex offers for treating tendonitis and other common conditions of the tendon. As a patient, however, you may be wondering how Tenex works, or what you can expect from a Tenex procedure at DiCesare.
Here’s how our physicians perform a Tenex procedure:
Using non-invasive ultrasound waves, Dr. DiCesare will take an image of the inside of your affected area. This will allow him to identify the damaged tendon tissue without the need for surgery.
Once Dr. DiCesare has identified the affected tendon, he will apply a local anesthetic, then use the Tenex ultrasonic tool to break down the damaged tissue. Ultimately, the Tenex tool will remove all damaged tissue that is causing you pain.
The Tenex tool uses ultrasonic energy, which was designed to offer an extreme level of precision. Therefore, only damaged tissue will be removed from your affected area, while any healthy tissue will remain unharmed and in place.
