If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, minimally invasive Achilles tendon microsurgery may be the right solution for you.
Persistent pain or soreness along the Achilles tendon, especially during walking, running, or exercise.
Inflammation, warmth, redness, or tenderness around the back of the heel or lower calf.
Tightness or stiffness in the tendon that makes it difficult to walk comfortably or stay active.
Achilles tendonitis microsurgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove damaged scar tissue and stimulate healing within the tendon. Using advanced ultrasound-guided technology and specialized instruments, podiatrists can precisely target diseased tissue while minimizing trauma to surrounding healthy structures.
One of the most advanced treatment options is Tenex, a minimally invasive tendon restoration procedure that uses ultrasonic energy to break down and remove scar tissue while preserving healthy tendon fibers.
This helps restore flexibility, strength, and function to the Achilles tendon with significantly less downtime compared to traditional surgery. Many patients are able to bear weight shortly after treatment and recover faster than with open surgical procedures.
Compared to traditional surgery, minimally invasive tendon procedures offer faster recovery and less disruption to daily life.
Most patients experience significantly shorter recovery periods compared to open Achilles surgery.
Tiny incisions reduce tissue damage, pain, and visible scarring while supporting faster healing.
Removing damaged scar tissue helps restore flexibility, mobility, and normal tendon movement.
Ideal for athletes, performers, and active individuals who want to recover and return to activity as quickly as possible.
Chronic Achilles tendonitis can be difficult to deal with and treat. Often, people will strain or partially tear the tendon and rest to heal the tendon, only for injury to happen again and again. We now have a revolutionary solution for chronic Achilles tendinitis.
This is with a minimally invasive tendon therapy called Tenex. Tenex uses ultrasonic energy to break up the scar tissue leaving behind healthy, elastic tendon tissue.
For athletes, Broadway dancers, and anyone who needs to get back to doing what they love right away, PRP will not only help with pain, but also to expedite the recovery process. PRP can also be used as stand alone therapies to treat chronic tendinopathy.
If you’re suffering from ankle or heel pain caused by Achilles tendonitis or another foot and ankle condition, our New York podiatrists are here to help.
With four convenient NYC locations — Wall Street, Times Square, Grand Central, and Upper East Side — we provide advanced minimally invasive treatment options designed to get you back to healthy, active living.
Sometimes scar tissue builds up in a tendon and causes the tendon to lose its elasticity. At that point, chronic Achilles tendinitis can be treated by removing the scar tissue using a minimally invasive procedure like Tenex. This uses a wand that transmits ultrasonic energy to break through the scar tissue leaving healthy tissue behind. Downtime is minimal and return to normal activity is about a week.
Grab a resistance band (or even a stretchy t-shirt)! Place the band or shirt around the ball of your foot. Pull the two ends of the band or shirt towards you until you feel a nice stretch in the back of your leg. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds, and relax for 10 seconds. Repeat this 5-10 times for both legs!
Achilles tendonitis rarely requires surgery. However, if treatment is delayed or neglected, there could be further damage such as a tendon tear. This would require surgical repair, and although we can do this with minimally invasive techniques, it is better to prevent damage when possible. Don’t ignore your pain. See your podiatrist as soon as possible.
