Charleston Sports Medicine Offers Tenex Health TX

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Dec. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- It is a procedure that professional cyclist Chris Horner credits for his ability to win the Tour of Spain, and now Tenex Health TX is offered locally at Charleston Sports Medicine.  States Bright McConnell, III, MD, “Tenex Health TX is a minimally invasive procedure for those that have tendon pain caused by trauma or repetitive motion injuries.”  This procedure, which takes less than twenty minutes, is used under local anesthesia, and recovery time is less than a traditional open surgical procedure.

 Horner, who is forty-one years old, had the procedure and was back in the professional racing circuit within two months.  Tenex Health TX is also helping local athletes.  Carol Wilson, an avid 4.0 tennis player with Legend Oaks in Summerville, suffered from tennis elbow for ten years.   She final had to give up the game because of the pain.  She states, “"The hardest thing is to give up and put the racket down.   I thought I could play through the pain, but it made it worse.  Dr. McConnell recommended Tenex Health TX because it was not as invasive.   I trusted him, and I am glad I did.”   Within three months, Wilson was back on the court and able to resume play with no pain.  She states, “I gave up on tennis.   Now I can play pain free which was my ultimate goal."

 Dr. McConnell, an orthopedic surgeon, performs Tenex Health TX on all sorts of athletes suffering from tendon pain and injuries.   Charleston Sports Medicine is a sports medicine facility located on Daniel Island.   To learn more, go to www.chassportsmed.com.
