TenJet Patient Testimonial

Plantar fasciitis involves degeneration of the plantar fascia, the thick connective tissue band connecting your heel bone to your toes along the bottom of the foot. Contrary to its name, it is primarily a degenerative condition — the tissue breaks down rather than becoming acutely inflamed.
This explains why anti-inflammatory treatments alone often provide only partial or temporary relief. Addressing the degenerated tissue directly is often necessary for lasting resolution of chronic symptoms.
Common symptoms include sharp heel pain with first steps in the morning, pain that worsens after periods of rest, tenderness along the bottom of the heel, and difficulty standing for long periods.
TenJet® by HydroCision directly removes the degenerated plantar fascia tissue responsible for chronic heel pain. The procedure is performed in-office in approximately 15 minutes under local anesthesia — no surgery, no hospital, no general anesthesia.

Common Questions
Locally in Columbus, Georgia, through Dr. Siraj Abdullah, so evaluation and treatment do not require traveling to a metro Atlanta practice.
Ultrasound measures fascia thickness and shows degenerated regions directly. Published cases document thickening around 0.85 cm at its worst, improving measurably after treatment.
Some discomfort is expected initially, which is part of why protected weight bearing in a boot is commonly used for the first couple of weeks.
Orthotics change load distribution but do not repair degenerated tissue. Persistent pain despite good orthotic management is a common reason patients are assessed for tenotomy.
