In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Michael Maddaleni, who specializes in Sports and Family Medicine and serves as an Assistant Professor at UMass Chan Medical School.

Dr. Maddaleni explains the TenJet procedure and its advantages for patients who may be experiencing symptoms of tendinopathies.

During our conversation, Dr. Maddaleni provides an in-depth explanation of the TenJet procedure, a minimally invasive treatment option that has garnered attention for its effectiveness in addressing various forms of tendinopathies. He elaborates on the mechanics of the procedure, which utilizes a specialized jet of saline to precisely target and treat damaged tendon tissue. This innovative approach not only helps to alleviate pain but also promotes the healing process by stimulating the body's natural repair mechanisms.

Furthermore, Dr. Maddaleni discusses the advantages of the TenJet procedure compared to traditional surgical interventions. He highlights how this technique significantly reduces recovery time, allowing patients to return to their normal activities much sooner. Additionally, he emphasizes the procedure's ability to minimize scarring and complications, making it a safer alternative for individuals who may be hesitant to undergo more invasive surgeries. 

In addition, he covers the recovery process and rehabilitation protocols, emphasizing their role in enhancing both clinical outcomes and overall patient satisfaction. The recovery process involves a series of carefully structured stages that are designed to facilitate healing and restore function.
