how does TENEX Percutaneous Tenotomy help my treatment plan?
- Micro-Invasive Surgical Alternative: Removes chronic diseased tendon tissue through a tiny puncture—no stitches or large surgical incisions needed.
- Targeted Ultrasound Precision: The specialized sonic tip vibrates at high frequency to break down damaged, scarred tendon fibers while leaving healthy elastic tissue untouched.
- Rapid Recovery: Faster return to work, sports, and daily life compared to open traditional tendon surgery.
who can benefit from TENEX Percutaneous Tenotomy?
You are an ideal candidate if you:
- Have suffered from severe tennis/golfer’s elbow, swimmer’s shoulder, patellar tendinitis, or plantar fasciitis for over 6 months.
- Have imaging (ultrasound or MRI) confirming chronic scar tissue or tendinosis.
- Want a solution that removes diseased tissue without open surgery.
TENEX Percutaneous Tenotomy
TENEX (Percutaneous Tenotomy) is a minimally invasive, technology-driven procedure that uses ultrasonic sound wave energy to selectively breakdown and remove damaged, scarred tendon tissue without harming healthy surrounding tissue. Performed through a microscopic puncture (about the size of an adhesive bandage), TENEX removes the root cause of chronic tendon pain under live ultrasound visualization.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Preparation: Local anesthetic numbs the target area completely; no general anesthesia is needed.
- During the Procedure: A microscopic puncture is made. Guided by live ultrasound, your doctor places the TENEX micro-tip directly into the scarred tendon area, using ultrasonic energy to dissolve and gently aspirate damaged tissue.
- Duration & Recovery: The procedure takes about 15 minutes. The puncture is covered with a simple bandage. Most patients recover fully within 2 to 6 weeks.

Endurance Athlete Medicine
Performance & Overuse Care for Runners, Cyclists, and Triathletes
Endurance injuries stem from repetitive microtrauma, rapid training load spikes, and subtle biomechanical inefficiencies. Unlike contact trauma, endurance conditions require addressing the underlying root cause of mechanical breakdown so you can train consistently without chronic pain.
Diagnostic & Treatment Solutions
We partner with local runners, cyclists, and triathletes to keep them training safely:
- High-Resolution Ultrasound: Detecting early tendon degeneration, bursitis, and fluid collection before a partial tear occurs.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Stimulating natural healing in chronic, stubborn tendinopathies without requiring months of complete rest.
- Load Management Guidance: Helping you adjust training volume safely while incorporating cross-training to preserve aerobic cardiovascular fitness.
Don't wait for pain to dictate your lifestyle.
What are the Common Symptoms & Root Causes of Overuse Injuries?
- Symptoms: Aching pain during long runs or rides, persistent tendon stiffness, focal bone tenderness, chronic muscle tightness, and declining performance.
- Causes: Rapid mileage or elevation spikes, improper bike fit or footwear, glute/core weakness, and high-volume training on steep terrain across the Wasatch region.
When should i seek Endurance care?
- Performance Limits: You experience recurring pain limiting your running mileage, cycling wattage, or swimming endurance.
- Race Preparation: You are training for an upcoming marathon, ultra, or triathlon and need to resolve nagging overuse pain.
- Recurrent Setbacks: You suffer from the same seasonal overuse injuries year after year.
