How does Tenex compare to PRP injections or corticosteroid shots for elbow pain?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections and corticosteroid shots are commonly used to manage pain and inflammation in tennis or golfer’s elbow. While these treatments may offer temporary relief, they do not physically remove the diseased tissue that causes chronic pain.

Tenex, on the other hand, removes the damaged tendon tissue entirely. This addresses the root cause of the pain and allows for true healing, not just symptom relief. Additionally, Tenex is a one-time procedure in most cases, whereas injections may need to be repeated. For patients who haven’t found lasting relief with PRP or steroids, Tenex is often the next step in definitive care.
