Is Tenex an effective treatment for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)?

Yes, Tenex has proven to be highly effective for treating tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis. This condition involves microscopic tears in the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon, which leads to pain on the outside of the elbow. For individuals whose symptoms persist despite rest, physical therapy, injections, or bracing, Tenex provides a targeted solution.

The procedure allows Dr. Badia to use ultrasound to locate the exact area of damaged tendon tissue and remove it using ultrasonic energy. This restores tendon integrity and function while promoting natural healing. Patients often report significant pain relief within weeks and return to full elbow mobility without long recovery periods. In fact, former top-ranked athletes like tennis champion Marcelo Ríos have returned to competition within a month after undergoing the Tenex procedure.
