Golf legend Jack Nicklaus admitted to having experimental stem cell therapy for chronic back issues, offering details in an exclusive interview about the treatment and how it helped his back pain thus far.
As recalled by CNN, which interviewed the 78-year-old Nicklaus earlier this week, the “Golden Bear” had been dealing with back problems even as a 19-year-old amateur, when he received nine cortisone injections for his back pain. After turning pro, Nicklaus continued to play in “significant” pain at certain points in his long and distinguished career. By the time he turned 64-years-old, a “minimally invasive” spine operation was mildly effective in alleviating some of the pain, but even the easiest shots proved to be “too painful” for the golfing legend in the years that followed.
