What causes tendonitis?

Tendonitis is typically caused by repetitive stress, overuse, or micro-tears within the tendon. Over time, chronic inflammation and degenerative changes can develop, leading to persistent pain and weakness. Aging and biomechanical imbalances may also contribute.

How soon will I feel relief with Tenex?

Some patients notice improvement within a few weeks, but optimal results typically develop over several months as the tendon heals. Recovery depends on the severity and location of the injury.

Tenex is a specialized procedure that uses ultrasound guidance and high-frequency energy to precisely remove damaged tendon tissue while preserving healthy fibers. By eliminating the source of chronic irritation, Tenex allows the body to restart the natural healing process. The procedure typically takes less than 40 minutes. Because it is minimally invasive, most patients return home the same day. Recovery varies depending on the tendon treated, but many patients resume light activities within a few days and gradually increase activity over several weeks.

Is Tenex better than surgery?

Tenex is less invasive than traditional surgery and typically involves a shorter recovery time and is a lower risk tendonitis treatment in Huntington. It is most effective for chronic degenerative tendon conditions, not complete tendon tears. Your provider will determine if it is appropriate for your specific case.

Will I need physical therapy afterward?

Rehabilitation is often recommended to strengthen the tendon and surrounding muscles. A guided recovery plan helps ensure long-term success and reduces the risk of reinjury after your tendonitis treatment in Huntington.

I went to Dr. Ocasio with terrible pain from tennis elbow that had been bothering me for months. Daily activities and even simple tasks were becoming difficult. Dr. Ocasio quickly diagnosed the issue and came up with a treatment plan that actually worked.
