“Without pain and without scars, and quick recovery.”
Former world #1 tennis player Marcelo Ríos shares his experience overcoming chronic tennis elbow with the help of Dr. Alejandro Badia. After struggling with pain in both elbows—common among high-level tennis players—Ríos sought an effective solution that would allow him to recover quickly and return to the sport he loves.
He underwent a bilateral Tenex procedure, a minimally invasive treatment designed to remove damaged tendon tissue using ultrasonic technology. The results were outstanding. As Ríos describes, the procedure delivered exactly what he was hoping for: “no pain, no scars, and a quick recovery.”
In the video, he explains that just two weeks after the procedure, his recovery was progressing extremely well. Both elbows—the right and the left—responded positively to the treatment, and he noted that the results were “very good” and “working perfectly.” In fact, his improvement was so rapid that he was advised to slow down slightly to allow proper healing, a testament to how effective the procedure had been.
This case highlights how advanced treatments like the Tenex procedure can help even elite athletes recover from chronic conditions like tennis elbow. With minimal downtime, reduced discomfort, and no visible scarring, patients can return to their activities faster and with confidence.
