Peyton Manning – Bronco, Titan or Cardinal?

March 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Peyton Manning, former Indianapolis Colts quarterback and now free agent, continues to be wooed by the Arizona Cardinals, the Denver Broncos and Tennessee Titans.

One report has John Elway, the Broncos’ executive, along with coach John Fox, watching Manning on the practice field at Duke.

Although he is a four-time NFL MVP, Manning missed the entire 2011 season due to neck injuries.  Manning traveled to Europe for stem cell therapy to help treat the bulging disc, which three previous surgeries had failed to repair.  Apparently that therapy did not help either.


Dennis Lox, M.D., a sports, physical and regenerative medicine specialist in the Tampa Bay-area, points out that regenerative medicine techniques, such as platelet-rich plasma and/or stem cell technology, have been used by many professional athletes to treat musculoskeletal injuries.  

According to Dr. Lox, “Athletes have been turning to platelet-rich plasma and stem cell technology for some time and though there are not large clinical trials, many elite athletes have expressed improvement.  As technology advances, athletes will be more likely to reach out and embrace any technological advance that may help improve their career."
