Advanced, Minimally Invasive Pain Relief
If you’re suffering from chronic tendon pain, limited mobility, or lingering injuries that haven’t responded to traditional treatments, you’re not alone. Many patients in Wesley Chapel, FL struggle with conditions like tendonitis, tendinosis, and calcified tendon injuries that can significantly impact daily life.
At Wesley Chapel Spine and Sports Medicine, we offer the TenJet Tenotomy Procedure, an advanced, minimally invasive treatment designed to target and remove damaged tendon tissue while promoting natural healing — allowing patients to experience faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved function without the need for traditional surgery.
What Is the TenJet Tenotomy Procedure?
TenJet is a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided treatment used to remove damaged or degenerated tendon tissue. It uses a specialized device that delivers a precise, high-pressure saline stream to break down and remove unhealthy tissue while preserving healthy structures. Unlike traditional surgery, TenJet:
- Requires only a small incision
- Is performed under local anesthesia
- Targets damaged tissue with precision
- Promotes natural healing
- Has minimal downtime
This procedure is especially effective for patients with chronic tendon conditions that have not improved with conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections.
Conditions Treated with TenJet Tenotomy
- Chronic tendonitis
- Tendinosis
- Calcific tendonitis
- Partial tendon tears
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Achilles tendonitis
- Patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee)
- Plantar fasciitis
How the TenJet Procedure Works
The TenJet system uses a high-pressure saline jet combined with suction to precisely remove damaged tissue:
- Ultrasound Guidance — We use advanced ultrasound imaging to identify the damaged tendon tissue with precision.
- Local Anesthesia — The area is numbed to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Small Incision — A tiny incision is made to insert the TenJet device.
- Targeted Tissue Removal — The device uses pressurized saline to break down and remove unhealthy tissue.
- Preservation of Healthy Tissue — Only damaged tissue is removed, allowing healthy tendon to remain intact.
- Stimulation of Healing — The procedure triggers your body’s natural healing response.
The entire process typically takes less than 30 minutes, and patients can often return home the same day.
