Return-to-Sport Guide · Atlanta, GA

Getting back to full activity

For active patients — runners, weekend athletes, people who work on their feet — the real question isn't just 'how do I treat this,' it's 'how fast can I get back to normal.' Here's a realistic look at recovery timing.

The Procedure

Why recovery timelines are shorter with TenJet^®

The return-to-activity estimates above assume a minimally invasive approach rather than open surgery. That distinction matters: HydroCision, Inc.'s TenJet system is built specifically to avoid the extended downtime that comes with a surgical incision and general anesthesia.

No surgical incision — a small needle access point instead

Local anesthesia means no hospital stay

Healthy tendon tissue is preserved, supporting faster functional recovery

The procedure itself takes roughly 15 minutes

Covered by Medicare and most private insurance

Recovery Timeline

What recovery typically looks like

Every recovery is individual, but this general pattern holds for most patients following a minimally invasive tendon procedure.

Week 1-2

Rest and activity modification. Most swelling and acute discomfort begins to settle.

Week 3-4

Gradual reintroduction of low-impact activity, guided by your physician or physical therapist.

Week 5-8

Progressive loading and strength work targeting the tendon.

Week 9-12

Return to full sport-specific activity for most patients, pending physician clearance.
