As a sports medicine specialist in Freehold, NJ, Joseph Jimenez, MD specializes in a unique approach. Apart from the standard physical therapy and cortisone injections that are often prescribed for muscular or tendon injuries of the shoulder, elbow and knee, Dr. Jimenez offers expertise in Hydrocision, a new, patented technology using the state-of-the-art Ten-Jet System and diagnostic ultrasound-guided imaging.
This cutting-edge procedure seeks to repair damaged tendon tissue and promote cellular healing, without surgery! When a muscle or tendon is injured or weakened over time, there is significant pain, swelling and scar tissue that rapidly develop as a result. Utilizing specific instruments, Hydrocision is designed to deliver pressurized saline to selectively resect and remove the injured or diseased tendon tissue, while disposing of local inflammatory mediators and waste products that may impair healing. As the Ten-Jet System removes the source of pain which is the damaged tissue, the surrounding healthy tissue can now stimulate a renewed healing response.
This minimally-invasive, outpatient procedure is performed with a local anesthetic to numb the area and may be completed in less than 30 minutes. Stitches are not required, as only a small adhesive bandage is applied and you are able to go home immediately afterward. Individual results may vary, but most patients can return to full activity within a matter of weeks.
