The tennis player, Rafael Nadal is currently undergoing treatment. Unfortunately, a sign came to darken his future.
This year again, Rafael Nadal, who has just turned 36, has accomplished a new feat, winning for the 14th times Roland-Garros. Now he has 22 Grand Slam victories to his name. To claim his victory, he had to eliminate Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev, before beating Casper Ruud in the final. To win this final, the Spaniard had to push the limits of his body, even if it meant making other athletes cringe.
Suffering from Müller-Weiss syndrome for more than fifteen years, Rafael Nadal suffers a lot in his left foot. A pain which is no longer bearable and which prompted the tennis player to undergo numerous infiltrations to numb his foot during the Paris fortnight. The athlete said he would try to find another solution to be able to continue his career. Something he apparently succeeded in doing. Indeed, before returning to the Balearic Islands, he made a short stop in Barcelona to undergo his first radiofrequency session. This treatment is supposed to reduce the pain he feels in his foot.
A promising treatment?
Following this stopover, he went to Mallorca, home. As he gets out of a car in front of the entrance to Palma de Mallorca airport, Rafael Nadal does not seem to be in very good shape. Roger Federer’s great rival is forced to rely on two crutches to avoid putting his left foot on the ground. Even suffering, the tennis player took the time to sign autographs for the fans who came to congratulate him after his new coronation in Paris.
This new radiofrequency treatment has already been explained by the tennis player: “The intervention consists of pulsed radiofrequency injections (by applying an electric current to the nerve) to reduce the sensation of permanent pain in the foot. The goal is to deactivate the nerve permanently.. This treatment can be called “last chance treatment”. He should quickly know if the test is conclusive.
