ATHLETES PUSH THEIR BODIES: 5 Famous athletes who used stem cell therapy to get back in the game

In recent years, the stem cell therapy has become more common among professional athletes who require treatment of chronic pain. We have curated stories of five athletes who have all benefited from this treatment to get them back to the top of their game.

From baseball to football, men and women suffer some of musculoskeletal injuries more severe seen today in medicine. When a professional athlete is injured, his main goal always is to return to the field as soon as possible.  The most recent news is the baseball pitcher for Los Angeles, Richard Garrett, who underwent stem cell therapy to avoid a Tommy John surgery (this is common a type of elbow surgery for ball players).

The stem cell treatments help to reverse localized lesions, and also allow regeneration of damaged cells to other tissues besides the injury, so it is an efficient alternative to avoid surgery and a long recovery term.
