During the Tenex procedure, you\u2019ll be awake but comfortable. Dr. Badia administers local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, and a tiny incision (about 3 mm) is made to allow the Tenex microtip to access the affected tissue. Using ultrasound for precision, the ultrasonic energy removes the damaged tendon tissue while preserving healthy structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the procedure, a small adhesive bandage is applied\u2014no stitches required. Most patients experience only mild soreness and may take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed. Heavy lifting or strain should be avoided for a week or two, but no formal physical therapy is usually necessary. Most patients return to their normal activities in 4 to 6 weeks, often with significant pain relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18926,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"class_list":["post-18880","faq","type-faq","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","faq-categories-tenex","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
