The 20-times major winner suffered with back issues at the start
of the season before pulling out of Wimbledon and the Tokyo
Olympics.
Nadal announced last month ahead of the U.S. Open that the
recurring foot injury would not allow him to compete for the
rest of year.
In an Instagram post https://www.instagram.com/p/CTrNwYzl-wc the
35-year-old Spaniard, ranked fifth in the world, said he had
completed his treatment. A source close to Nadal's team said the
left-handed player did not undergo surgery.
"I can tell you I was in Barcelona with my team and medical team
to have a treatment to my foot which will need a few days of
rest and some weeks out of action," he said.
"I'm already home and starting the recovery."
Nadal, who was diagnosed with the foot problem in 2005, said he
was trying a different type of treatment this time to try to fix
the issue so he can continue his career for a few more years.
