At OC Regenerative and Pain Center, we offer a comprehensive chronic pain management plan. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Mike, our clinic provides targeted knee pain PRP injection therapy. This minimally invasive injection therapy, derived from your own blood, is a non-surgical solution that may help relieve pain and promote natural healing in joints and soft tissue. If you are searching for an effective PRP knee pain treatment in Newport Beach, our evidence-based, image-guided approach may help you delay surgery and reclaim your active lifestyle.
How Does a PRP Knee Injection Work?
The process for receiving PRP shots for knee therapy is straightforward and performed entirely in our comfortable Newport Beach office:
1. Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation: Dr. Mike conducts a thorough diagnostic assessment to determine if you are a viable candidate for this regenerative medicine treatment. We also offer telemedicine pain consultations for your initial review.
2. The Simple Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is drawn by our medical staff. Because PRP for knee joint pain uses your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is extremely low.
3. FDA-Cleared Centrifuge: Your blood is spun in an FDA-cleared centrifuge system (a machine that rapidly separates fluids). This isolates and highly concentrates the healing platelets from the other blood components.
4. Imaging-Guided Delivery: Dr. Mike uses advanced imaging-guided regenerative therapy (such as high-resolution ultrasound or fluoroscopy) for precise delivery. This ensures the concentrated growth factors reach the exact site of the tissue damage inside the knee joint.
Common Knee Conditions We Treat
PRP knee therapy is an investigational treatment that may provide long-term relief for some patients dealing with various knee conditions. During your consultation, we will evaluate if this treatment is right for your specific injury.
What to Expect: PRP Knee Injection Recovery
It is important to understand that PRP takes time to work. Because it relies on biological processes, you will not see instant results. The PRP knee injection recovery timeline varies by individual, but most patients experience the following:
(1) Days 1-3: You may experience mild soreness, swelling, or a dull ache at the injection site. This is a normal part of the body's inflammatory healing response. We advise patients to avoid anti-inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen) during this time, as they can interfere with the healing process.
(2) Weeks 3-6: Most patients begin to notice improvement within several weeks as the tissue heals. Pain may continue to decrease, and daily movement becomes easier.
(3) Months 3-12: Full functional benefits are typically realized over the following months. According to recent clinical data published on PubMed, high-platelet PRP offered clinically relevant functional improvement and pain relief for knee osteoarthritis patients at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups.

I recently had a platelet rich plasma injection with Dr. Mike and really appreciated the level of care and attention to detail.
... So far, I’m noticing meaningful improvement and appreciate the focus on long-term results rather than temporary fixes.

Nathan Bibeau
I recently had a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection done by Dr. Mike, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and results so far ... You can tell he is an expert in this field (unlike some of the medspas I've been to) and focuses on treating the root cause rather than just masking symptoms ... Recovery was exactly as he described, and I’ve already started noticing improvement in my pain and mobility.
If you’re considering PRP or looking for a non-surgical option for pain, I highly recommend Dr. Mike

Questions To Ask Your Doctor About PRP
The "Regenerate. Don't Medicate." Approach to Knee Joints
When treating a knee injury, a PRP injection in knee tissue is often considered a safe, non surgical pain management option for patients seeking relief without an operation. Our core philosophy is simple: "Regenerate. Don't Medicate."
Instead of merely masking symptoms with heavy opioids or relying on temporary fixes, we provide concierge pain management services that focus on utilizing the body's own (autologous) blood to harness natural healing properties. A PRP injection to knee joints delivers concentrated growth factors directly to the injured tissue. This supports tissue repair, may reduce inflammation, and aims to address the underlying cause of your discomfort.
Please note: Patients should not stop any currently prescribed medications without consulting their treating physician first.
