Persistent Pain? Try Tenex!

Our expert podiatrists see a lot of plantar fasciitis, and there’s nothing new about that. The same could be said of Achilles tendonitis, too. However, while these conditions might be old, there’s a new treatment for resolving them that you might not have heard of.

The Center for Podiatric Care and Sports Medicine is always seeking diverse, advanced treatments tailored to our patients’ specific needs. So today, we’re going to introduce you to a modern technology that might just deal with your heel pain for good: The Tenex Health TX system!

Below, we’ll lay out a few of the basics when it comes to plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. Then, we’ll tell you how Tenex can resolve these pesky podiatric woes!

What’s the Deal with Plantar Fasciitis?

This condition tends to center around the tightening of the plantar fascia ligament on the sole of your foot. When it’s strained, various symptoms present:

  • Pain in the morning that increases by the day’s end.

  • Pulling or tearing of the ligament while walking.

  • Burning sensation.

  • Numbness.

What About Achilles Tendonitis?

Your Achilles tendon is a portion of tissue that binds your calf muscles to your heel bone. Tendonitis is an overuse injury relating to that tissue. It can lead to several symptoms:

  • Pain in the back of the leg or above the heel.

  • Tenderness or stiffness in the morning.

  • Weakening of the Achilles tendon, increasing the likelihood of rupture.

  • Ruptures of the Achilles usually require surgery.

Considering the worrisome problems we’ve listed above, you’ll be glad to know that Tenex is a treatment designed specifically for managing the pain and discomfort of both tendonitis and plantar fasciitis!

  • Minimally invasive technology uses minuscule incisions and ultrasonic energy.

  • Gently breaks up and removes damaged tissue.

  • 20-minute procedure relieves pain quickly.
