Who is a good candidate for the Tenex procedure?

The ideal candidate for Tenex is someone suffering from chronic tendinosis that has not improved with conservative treatments. This includes individuals with:

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
  • Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy
  • Patellar tendonitis

Patients often report symptoms lasting more than 3 to 6 months, with localized pain and limited mobility. Tenex is especially well-suited for athletes, tradespeople, and active individuals who need a reliable and fast-acting solution.

Dr. Badia performs a comprehensive evaluation using physical examination and diagnostic ultrasound to confirm the presence of degenerative tendon tissue before recommending Tenex.
