Remedy for Miguel Cabrera's knee pain: A full-on lifestyle and nutrition change

Detroit — There is no miracle remedy for the chronic pain in his right knee. Miguel Cabrera knows this now. Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy would be at best just a band-aid at this stage of the knee’s deterioration. There is no surgical option, no clandestine, non-certified procedure, no voodoo medicine.

Cabrera, after taking a short vacation with his family and consulting a couple of specialists, now knows the remedy for his debilitating knee pain is less invasive than any surgery — and it will probably be the hardest thing he’s ever done in his athletic life.

He needs to change his lifestyle.
