At Impact Sports Medicine, we know how frustrating it can be when tendon pain just won’t go away. Whether it’s tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon pain, or even rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy, these problems can linger for months—and often don’t respond well to rest, therapy, steroid injections or medications.
That’s why we’re excited to offer TendoNova, our newest in-office, minimally invasive procedure designed specifically for chronic tendon injuries.
What is TendoNova?
TendoNova is a needle-only system that requires no incision and is performed with just a small lidocaine injection for comfort. Using an oscillating needle, we carefully break up unhealthy tendon tissue under ultrasound guidance—kickstarting your body’s natural healing process.
Here’s the best part: the treatment itself takes only 20–60 seconds.
Combining TendoNova with PRP: A Powerful Duo
On its own, TendoNova stimulates healing. But when combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections—using your body’s own concentrated platelets and growth factors—the results can be even stronger.
Think of it this way:
TendoNova = aerating your lawn (breaking up the tough, unhealthy tissue)
Together, they give your tendon the “best of both worlds” for long-term recovery.
Why Choose TendoNova?
Minimally invasive – no incision, no stitches
Quick recovery – the procedure itself is done in under a minute
Natural healing – enhanced when paired with your own PRP
Cutting-edge care – we’re one of the only practices in Middle Tennessee offering this option
At Impact Sports Medicine and Orthopedics, our mission is simple: to bring you safe, effective, and innovative treatments that reduce pain and help you stay active. TendoNova is just one more way we’re doing exactly that.
