What Is TENEX™ Tendon Treatment?

TENEX™ is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound guidance and advanced micro-tip technology to remove damaged tendon tissue — without traditional surgery.


This image-guided treatment is ideal for chronic tendon pain that hasn’t improved with rest, therapy, or injections. TENEX targets the root of the problem (not just the symptoms), helping patients experience fast relief and get back to activity sooner — with no stitches, minimal downtime, and real results.

How It Works

Getting started with TENEX™ is fast, minimally invasive, and focused on long-term relief from chronic tendon pain:

1. Schedule Your Consultation

Book an in-person visit with one of our experienced orthopedic providers by clicking below or calling/texting
513-570-4464.

We’ll review your symptoms, exam findings, and imaging (if available) to determine if TENEX is right for you.

2. Ultrasound Evaluation

We use real-time ultrasound to locate the damaged tendon tissue and confirm the diagnosis. This allows us to precisely target the source of pain.

3. Micro-Incision & TENEX Treatment

After numbing the area, we use a pen-sized device to gently break up and remove the diseased tissue — all through a tiny incision, no stitches required.

4. Recovery Begins

Most patients return to light activity within days. As the tendon heals, inflammation decreases, pain improves, and function is restored — without surgery or extended downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions About TENEX

Curious about treatment? You’re not alone — here are the answers to the most common questions our patients ask about TENEX.

TENEX is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove damaged tendon or fascia tissue using ultrasonic energy. It targets the exact area of degeneration without affecting surrounding healthy tissue — promoting faster healing and pain relief.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the treatment. Some mild discomfort or soreness may occur afterward, similar to a workout, but most patients tolerate it well.

Most patients resume light activities within a few days and return to normal function within 4–6 weeks. Compared to surgery, recovery is much quicker and easier.

TENEX is most commonly used for:
• Chronic tendonitis (Achilles, patellar, elbow, shoulder)
• Plantar fasciitis
• Gluteal tendinopathy
• Rotator cuff tendinosis
• Medial/lateral epicondylitis (tennis/golfer’s elbow)

TENEX is typically a one-time procedure. It removes the root cause of chronic tendon pain, so repeat treatments are rarely necessary.

Steroids may reduce inflammation temporarily, but they don’t remove the damaged tissue causing the pain. TENEX offers a more definitive, long-term solution by addressing the actual degeneration.
