Nonsurgical Alternatives for Arthritis Pain Relief with Orthobiologics
Feb 05, 2026
Arthritis pain can impact nearly every part of daily life. Simple movements such as walking, gripping a cup, or standing up from a chair can feel difficult. Many people want relief but feel hesitant about surgery. Others want options that support healing rather than simply masking pain.
Orthobiologics offer a promising nonsurgical approach that focuses on the body’s natural repair processes. At Arora Pain Clinic in Torrance, California, board-certified pain management specialist Ripu Arora, MD, MBA, can help you find relief.
Arthritis develops when joint cartilage wears down or becomes damaged. The damage leads to inflammation, stiffness, and pain. Over time, joints can lose smooth movement and strength. These changes can affect sleep, activity levels, and overall quality of life.
Traditional treatments often focus on symptom management. Medications can reduce inflammation and discomfort, but they do not repair damaged tissue. Orthobiologics aim to support the body’s healing and restore joint function.
Orthobiologics use substances derived from the body or natural sources to promote healing. These treatments focus on reducing inflammation and encouraging tissue repair within the joint. Providers often use orthobiologics when conservative treatments no longer provide enough relief.
Orthobiologic therapies deliver healing signals directly to the affected areas. These signals can help improve the joint environment and support healthier tissue over time.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy, often called PRP, uses a concentrated portion of your own blood. Our team draws a small blood sample and processes it to isolate platelets and growth factors. These components play roles in tissue repair and inflammation control.
Dr. Arora injects PRP into the arthritic joint, and then growth factors signal the body to begin healing responses. Over time, many patients report a decrease in pain and an improvement in mobility. PRP is effective for mild-to-moderate arthritis and for patients seeking a minimally invasive option.
Regenerative cell therapy represents another orthobiologic option for arthritis pain. Stem cells can support tissue repair and reduce inflammation. We often collect stem cells from bone marrow.
After preparation, Dr. Arora injects the stem cells into the affected joint. These cells help improve the joint and support the regeneration of damaged tissue. Patients with more advanced arthritis or long-standing pain may benefit from this approach.
This therapy does not create instant results. Improvement typically develops gradually as the body responds to treatment.
Patients often choose orthobiologics because these treatments offer meaningful benefits without surgery. Advantages include shorter recovery times, lower risk profiles, and personalized treatment plans.
Potential benefits include:
Orthobiologic therapies allow many patients to stay active while addressing arthritis at its source.
Orthobiologic treatments are usually performed in an outpatient setting, with most appointments requiring minimal downtime.
After treatment, patients may experience temporary soreness. The response often signals the beginning of the healing process. Dr. Arora typically recommends activity modification during early recovery, followed by a gradual return to movement.
Not every patient qualifies for orthobiologic treatment. A thorough evaluation helps determine the best approach. Dr. Arora considers the severity of your arthritis, your overall health, your activity level, and your treatment goals.
Patients who want to avoid surgery and pursue regenerative options often find orthobiologics appealing because these therapies support healing rather than simply covering symptoms.
Living with arthritis pain does not mean giving up an active life. Nonsurgical orthobiologic treatments offer new possibilities for pain relief and improved mobility. Call our office at 310-5303595 or schedule your appointment online today to learn more about how we can help.
