The athletes, after putting their bodies on the line, themselves are aware of the risks involved and an injury can derail their careers. Therefore, some athletes face a hard choice between traditional surgery or an alternative remedy after reaching crossroads. Aljamain Sterling faced a similar dilemma when he opted for an unusual remedy ahead of his much-anticipated fight against former champion Henry Cejudo. Notably, the UFC commentator Joe Rogan had earlier ripped benefits from the same.
