Español During the Tenex procedure, you’ll 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.
After the procedure, a small adhesive bandage is applied—no 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.
