(Medical-NewsWire.com, July 05, 2012 ) Boca Raton, FL --- More than 10 million people in the United States suffer from tendon injuries every year. These injuries are associated with chronic pain and losing the ability to perform simple daily activities.
Until now, the options for treating tendon pain were rest, physical therapy, medications, or an open surgical procedure. Limited to these treatment options, it could take months or years to recover and get back to daily activities.
Tenex Health provides the solution for removing the source of tendon pain. The FAST™ procedure—Focused Aspiration of Scar Tissue—is a minimally invasive treatment designed to remove scarred and damaged tissue (the source of pain) without disturbing the surrounding healthy tendon tissue. FAST achieves the same goal as open surgery but is performed under local anesthesia and in a nonsurgical setting. Most people return to normal activities within 1 to 2 months.
The FAST™ procedure is a gentle method for percutaneous removal of tissue and restoration of natural tendon and soft tissue function. The FAST procedure and TX1™ Tissue Removal System can be used to address the most common areas for tendon and soft tissue injuries including: tennis or golfer’s elbow (lateral and medial epicondyle), jumper’s knee (patellar tendon), rotator cuff of the shoulder, and plantar fascia and Achilles tendon problems in the foot and ankle.
Based on technology developed in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, FAST combines conventional ultrasound imaging for visualization with the advanced TX1 Tissue Removal System.
JL Haber, Vice President of Programming at Multi Media Productions, stated, “With their breakthrough procedure that allows patients to get back to their lives quickly, Tenex Health was a natural fit for our show. We are excited to have them as a guest on our program.”
