A member asked:
Has anyone had success with tenex (guanfacine) procedure for chronic plantar fasciitis with partial tear? (pt, cortisone, orthoses, cast boot haven't worked)

Tenex (guanfacine) regenerative: Tenex (guanfacine) can be quite effective for chronic plantar fasciitis. It's minimally invasive, very safe, and stimulates healthy tissue growth. I also like prp, amnio-tissue, and stem cell injections for plantar fasciitis. Insurance doesn't pay, but i've seen these quite effective.

New Treatment: but showing promise but there are many different options for stem cell therapies that are helpful for your condition. So far the only practice that has significant research and patient base regarding stem cell therapy are the Regenexx Physicians Network. They have over 6500 patients in their registry with pretty good results. Check out Regenexx.Com.
