TenJet Tendonitis Treatment
Precision hydro-resection that uses a supersonic saline stream to selectively remove diseased tendon tissue without damaging healthy, surrounding fibers.
TenJet utilizes a supersonic stream of saline to selectively remove diseased tendon tissue while preserving healthy surrounding tendon fibers. This 15-minute ultrasound-guided procedure offers a minimally invasive option for chronic tendinosis that has not responded to conservative care.
Pain Persists for a Reason.
Let's Find What's Driving Yours.
Chronic tendinosis is not inflammation — it is degenerated, disorganized tendon tissue that the body cannot clear on its own. TenJet is one tool that may physically remove that damaged tissue so healthy repair can begin.
Reveal → Repair → Restore → Renew
TenJet Tendonitis Treatment is one tool within our four-stage pathway — selected based on your evaluation, not applied uniformly.
Reveal
We confirm whether your pain is true tendinosis (degenerated tissue) rather than simple inflammation — using ultrasound and clinical reasoning.
Repair
TenJet's saline stream selectively removes diseased tendon tissue while preserving healthy fibers — under ultrasound guidance.
Restore
Guided rehabilitation helps the cleaned tendon heal with proper organization, restoring strength and elasticity.
Renew
The goal is helping you return to gripping, lifting, and activity without the chronic elbow, Achilles, or knee pain that held you back.
How TenJet Works
Under real-time ultrasound guidance, a specialized TenJet probe is advanced into the diseased portion of the tendon. The probe delivers a supersonic stream of saline that selectively hydro-resects (cuts away) the damaged tissue.
Healthy tendon fibers are preserved because the saline stream is calibrated to remove only the degenerated, disorganized tissue — the tissue that is blocking recovery.
The procedure takes about 15 minutes, is performed in-office under local numbing, and requires only a small entry point — no incisions, no stitches.
Ultrasound Mapping
Real-time imaging identifies the diseased tendon tissue to be removed.
Probe Placement
The TenJet probe is advanced to the target area under ultrasound guidance.
Hydro-Resection
A supersonic saline stream selectively removes diseased tissue, preserving healthy fibers.
Guided Recovery
Rehabilitation supports organized healing and restored tendon function.
Conditions This Treatment May Support
Based on your individualized evaluation, tenjet tendonitis treatment may be appropriate for the following:
Why Patients Choose This Treatment
How Our Approach Differs
Standard Approach
- Repeated cortisone injections that may weaken tendon
- Months of physical therapy with limited results
- Open surgical debridement as the next step
- No selective removal of the damaged tissue
Our TenJet Approach
- Selectively removes only diseased tissue
- Preserves healthy tendon fibers
- 15-minute in-office procedure, no incisions
- One tool within a full diagnostic and restorative pathway
Who May Benefit Most
These are examples of patients who may be appropriate candidates. Your individualized evaluation determines whether tenjet tendonitis treatment is the right tool for your condition.
We don't just focus on reducing pain.
We help people work toward returning to the lives pain has taken them away from.
