What can knee pain treatment near Novi, MI address?
Our physicians evaluate knee pain from osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, tendinitis, ligament tears, bursitis, lingering post-surgical pain, and sports injuries. Regenerative options are minimally invasive with little downtime, and a consultation helps decide whether they fit you.
Knee pain can be hard to live with and frustrating to treat, but there are low-risk, non-surgical options to consider. The Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine offers a minimally invasive approach to knee pain for patients near Novi, with less reliance on strong pain medication and its side effects. Our board-certified physicians see Novi patients at our Rochester Hills clinic.
What Is Regenerative Medicine for the Knee?
Regenerative medicine uses your own biologic material to support the body’s repair processes in tissue associated with chronic knee pain. Unlike surgery, it is minimally invasive with little downtime, so most patients return to their routine quickly. Unlike pain medication, it aims to address the source of pain rather than masking it.
Knee Conditions We Evaluate for Novi Patients
Our physicians evaluate knee pain from chronic conditions as well as injuries, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- Meniscus tears
- Tendinitis
- Ligament tears
- Bursitis
- Lingering pain after knee surgery
- Sports injuries
A consultation helps determine whether a regenerative option fits your knee or whether another approach would serve you better.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your physician will review your medical history, listen to your goals, and examine your knee. Ultrasound or other diagnostic tests may be used to identify the source of your pain. If a regenerative treatment may help, your physician will explain the recommended option, how it is performed, recovery, and cost.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Knee Pain
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is one of the regenerative treatments we use most often for knee pain. A small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and plasma. The prepared PRP is then injected into the treatment area under ultrasound guidance, where it may help calm inflammation and support the body’s natural healing response. Wondering about pricing?

Other Options Your Physician May Discuss
Depending on your diagnosis, your physician may also discuss bone marrow-derived cell therapy for knees or prolotherapy. Each works differently, and not every patient is a candidate.
