Not Just Athletes

Who this condition actually affects

Achilles tendinopathy shows up disproportionately in runners due to the repetitive, high-load nature of the sport — but it's not exclusive to serious athletes.

Distance runners increasing mileage too quickly
Runners returning to training after a break
Trail runners dealing with repeated incline loading
Recreational runners training for a first race without a structured build-up

The Procedure

Getting back to training faster: TenJet^®

For runners specifically, downtime is often the deciding factor in treatment choice. TenJet, from HydroCision, Inc., is designed to avoid the extended recovery of open surgery by treating the degenerated tendon tissue through a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided approach.

A 12-gauge needle and ultrasound guidance keep the procedure targeted

A saline jet breaks down only the unhealthy fibers

Suction removes the tissue immediately

No general anesthesia, no surgical center

Covered by Medicare and most private insurance
