Advanced regenerative treatments that harness your body's own healing ability — helping you avoid surgery, reduce pain, and return to the life you love.
Regenerative orthopedics uses your body's own biological repair mechanisms — including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and bone marrow concentrate — to treat joint pain, cartilage damage, tendon injuries, and spine conditions. Rather than masking pain or cutting away damaged tissue, we stimulate your body's innate ability to heal.
Many of today's most common orthopedic surgeries have been shown to produce poor long-term outcomes and carry serious risks. Our approach offers a clinically validated, minimally invasive alternative with far shorter recovery times and no general anaesthesia.
KOI Wellbeing Sorrento Valley is proud to be a certified provider of Regenexx® — the world's most advanced regenerative orthopedic system. Regenexx procedures are only performed by a select group of highly trained physicians, and outcomes are tracked in one of medicine's largest regenerative data registries.
Regenexx® Procedures provide non-surgical treatment for osteoarthritis, joint injuries, spine pain, overuse conditions, and common sports injuries — using precise, image-guided injections of your body's own repair cells.
Your pain is usually only a symptom — not the problem itself. Our comprehensive SANS evaluation (60–90 minutes with your provider) goes far deeper than a standard orthopedic assessment. Using both physical examination and in-office ultrasound, we identify not just what hurts, but what is actually causing your pain.
We assess whether the structures supporting your joint are providing adequate stability — identifying weaknesses that cause compensatory pain patterns elsewhere in the body.
We examine how each joint moves through its full range of motion, identifying restrictions, asymmetries, and surface-level damage that are often missed by imaging alone.
We evaluate nerve function and muscle activation patterns to determine whether neuromuscular dysfunction is contributing to your pain or limiting your recovery.
We compare both sides of the body to identify imbalances — the hidden root causes that create chronic, recurring injuries and prevent lasting healing.
At the end of your evaluation, your provider assigns a candidacy grade based on our extensive outcomes database — giving you a clear, honest picture of what treatment can achieve for you. You leave informed, empowered, and in control of your care.
Dr. Cohen's regenerative expertise covers the full range of musculoskeletal conditions — from chronic arthritis to acute sports injuries. All treatments use image-guided injection techniques for maximum precision and effectiveness.
Knee osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ACL/PCL/MCL injuries, patellar tendinitis, and post-surgical knee pain. Regenerative treatments can dramatically reduce pain and improve function — often avoiding knee replacement entirely.
Hip arthritis, labral tears, bursitis, hip flexor and adductor injuries. PRP and bone marrow concentrate injections target the root cause of hip pain with minimal downtime and lasting results.
Rotator cuff tears and tendinopathy, shoulder instability, AC joint injuries, biceps tendon issues, and shoulder arthritis. Non-surgical options that restore strength and range of motion.
Cervical and lumbar disc disease, facet joint arthritis, sacroiliac joint pain, and nerve-related back and neck conditions. Regenerative spine treatments offer a genuine alternative to spinal surgery.
Thumb CMC arthritis, wrist arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, de Quervain's tenosynovitis, and TFCC injuries — treated with precisely targeted regenerative injections.
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis), UCL injuries, elbow arthritis, and biceps tendon injuries — conditions that respond exceptionally well to PRP therapy.
Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, ankle arthritis and instability, peroneal tendon issues, and Morton's neuroma. Get back on your feet faster with regenerative foot and ankle care.

Book a Free CallSurgery carries real risks: general anaesthesia, infection, blood clots, months of rehabilitation, and permanent structural changes that can't be reversed. More importantly, research has shown that many of the most commonly performed orthopedic surgeries — including arthroscopic knee surgery for arthritis and meniscus tears — perform no better than placebo procedures over the long term.
Regenerative orthopedics offers something different: we work with your body rather than cutting into it. Recovery is measured in days, not months. You keep your natural joint anatomy. And the results, for the right patients, can be genuinely life-changing.
Board Certified — Family & Sports Medicine
Recognised among the top 1% of physicians nationwide for regenerative orthopedic expertise, Dr. Cohen has dedicated his career to helping active people avoid surgery and return to full function. He led the Sports Medicine programme for US Marine Corps recruits across the western United States and served as a consultant to US Navy SEALs.
His extensive training and outcomes data mean he can give you an honest assessment of whether regenerative orthopedics is right for your condition — and what level of improvement you can realistically expect.
Read Full BioPlatelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is created by drawing a small sample of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the healing growth factors found in your platelets. This concentrated solution is then injected precisely into the damaged area, triggering your body's natural repair process at an accelerated rate.
Cortisone injections reduce inflammation temporarily but can actually damage cartilage and tendons over time with repeated use. Regenerative injections work differently — they aim to stimulate genuine tissue repair and healing, producing more durable results without the long-term risks.
The best way to find out is through our comprehensive SANS evaluation. In general, regenerative orthopedics works best for patients with mild-to-moderate joint damage, tendon injuries, and sports-related conditions. Severely advanced arthritis may be better addressed surgically — we'll always give you an honest assessment.
Most patients return to light daily activities within 24–48 hours. There may be some soreness at the injection site for a few days. Full results from PRP typically develop over 6–12 weeks as your body's repair response works. Follow-up injections are sometimes recommended for optimal outcomes.
Most regenerative orthopedic treatments are not yet covered by standard insurance plans. However, we offer transparent pricing and can discuss all options during your consultation. Many patients find the investment far more cost-effective than surgery when the full costs of surgery, hospitalisation, and rehabilitation are considered.
A comprehensive SANS evaluation with Dr. Cohen will tell you exactly whether you're a candidate for regenerative orthopedics — and what results you can realistically expect.
