If you have chronic Achilles tendinitis or plantar fasciitis, please talk to Dr. John Lee about TenJet.
Most tendon conditions fall into two categories: Tendinitis and Tendinosis.
Tendinitis is associated with an inflammatory response to an injury. When a tendon is unable to heal or is repeatedly reinjured, the tendon fibers can break down causing loss of structure and loss of strength. This condition is referred to as tendinosis. At this stage, tendons may retain fluid, develop calcifications, develop small tears, and, if left untreated, develop partial tears, full-thickness tears, or rupture.
Tendinitis and tendinosis represent different types of tendon condition. Although tendinosis is often referred to as chronic tendinitis, each requires different treatment approaches. Understanding which condition is affecting you could impact your treatment and time to resolution.
TenJet enables sports medicine physicians to treat patients suffering from tendinosis, calcified tendinopathy, or plantar fasciitis.
