He also used red light therapy for him…long story short i highly recommend Dr. Herrera and prevail. His office is kind and welcoming and again so knowledgeable . I was so impressed that i booked myself an appointment!
Hi Mrs. Finn, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We couldn't agree with you more, Dr. Herrera does a great job of what he calls, "significant education" or helping the patient understand what is happening and then clearly communicating the path to their goals. We are also delighted to hear that the office was kind and made you feel welcomed! We look forward to working with you!
Prevail staff was amazing and always professional. They treated me and my son with great respect and guided us through all their services. Their sports recovery services are second to none and when I get a chance to go back I will definitely do so. The compression bags and Cryotherapy chamber were so relaxing and refreshing.
Phillip, thank you for the high praise and we are glad to hear you and your son felt respected and guided. We are the only facility that offers recovery service under medically guided care and we are glad you had the chance to experience the difference. We look forward to welcoming you back when the time allows.
I first came to Dr. Herrera in April 2026 after a herniated disc flare-up from boxing. I was dealing with back pain along with issues throughout my entire right side — leg pain, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip, glute, and back discomfort. What stood out to me from the very beginning was how much they genuinely care. I actually called on a Sunday, and Dr. Herrera personally answered the phone, addressed my questions, and helped get my evaluation scheduled. It’s been a journey healing my body, to say the least. Over the last several months, I’ve learned a lot about managing pain and, more importantly, understanding where it’s coming from. A huge part of my progress has come down to improving mobility and strengthening the right areas instead of simply trying to make the pain temporarily go away. I also want to be clear that I didn’t have to wait months to start feeling better. I felt relief immediately after beginning treatment. What the last several months have given me is continued improvement and a much better understanding of my body. Each time I’ve come back, we’ve been able to address what I’m feeling, make adjustments, and keep building on the progress. The at-home exercises have been extremely helpful. Whenever something starts feeling tight or I notice discomfort coming back, I now have exercises and tools I can use instead of feeling helpless about it. I’ve also learned firsthand how important accountability is — I can literally feel the difference in my body when I get lazy with the exercises versus when I consistently do them. One by one, Dr. Herrera has helped me address the different issues I was experiencing. He has years of experience, and I’ve found him to be incredibly spot-on when identifying what’s going on and what we need to do about it. The recovery services are another huge plus. They have options like red light therapy, sauna, cryotherapy, and other recovery treatments, with many of them being private. His wife, Cece, is also amazing. She always helps out and brings great energy to every interaction. One of the biggest things I think you’ll get here is the truth about what’s going on with your body and a plan for what you can actually do about it. But you also have to be accountable and willing to put in the work if you want your body to heal. This isn’t about someone magically fixing you — it’s about getting the right treatment, guidance, and tools and then doing your part. I started here in April and I’m writing this in September. I felt relief early on, and over the months I’ve continued getting better while learning how to manage my body and prevent issues from constantly coming back. If you’re tired of living with pain and you’re ready to start the healing process and put in the work, I highly recommend Dr. Herrera and his team. They genuinely CARE. They take pride in their work, they take pride in helping people get better, and they take pride in serving the Menifee community.
Luis! Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly share your experience and for the high recommendation. It's awesome to hear how much value you've gained along the way in addition to experiencing immediate relief. We look forward to the amazing things we'll accomplish together.
****Update**** 8.20.2026 I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Joe Herrera and Prevail Health & Sports Recovery. I was out to eat with my family when my back suddenly started hurting badly. I was around a 6–7 out of 10 pain level, extremely stiff, and could barely walk comfortably. My wife, Marilyn, told me to call Dr. Herrera immediately. Luckily, he was available and was able to see me within about 10 minutes. After only 30–40 minutes with him, I was feeling immensely better. I wasn’t completely healed, and I still have some work to do, but the difference was incredible. Dr. Herrera not only worked on my back using his techniques, he also took the time to educate me on what I could do at home with proper stretching and mobility work so I could continue helping myself afterward. My wife has seen me before when my back pain has completely knocked me out and left me unable to do much of anything. I genuinely believe Dr. Herrera helped prevent that from happening this time. The fact that he was willing and able to help me when I really needed it meant a lot to me and my family. Dr. Herrera is an amazing person, has a fantastic family, and runs an outstanding office. If you’re dealing with pain, mobility issues, or simply want someone who will actually take the time to help you understand your body and what you can do to improve, I highly recommend giving Dr. Herrera and his team a chance. ——————————————————————————— I just signed up for the monthly plan and already used the cryotherapy and man… I feel amazing. Like seriously. It’s hard to explain unless you try it but I walked outta there feelin brand new. Dr. Joseph Herrera is the real deal. Not only does he know his stuff, but he’s just a solid guy too. Super down to earth, easy to talk to, and you can tell he actually cares. That’s rare. His spot, Prevail HSR, it’s clean, it’s modern, it’s got that pro-level vibe but still feels chill and welcoming. Whether you’re training hard, dealing with injuries, or just wanna feel better overall, this is the place to go. Can’t recommend him enough. If you’re even thinking about it, just go. You won’t regret it.
Thank you for your fantastic review, James! We're thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience with cryotherapy and that Dr. Herrera made a positive impression on you. Our goal is to create a welcoming and professional environment where everyone can feel their best, so it’s great to know we hit the mark. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again soon!
I saw Dr. Herrera for lower back pain and stiffness that would flareup regularly from a car accident 30 years ago. He really listened and took time to explain what the issue was and what was needed. He did assisted stretching with me and I was pain free when I left! He even texted me excises to do at home to keep my back in good shape. I've not had a flareup in months! So grateful! The staff is wonderful, so knowledgeable and helpful. I've also done the red-light and cryo therapies to help with inflammation and healing. What a blessing to have great treatment like this available here in Menifee!
Christine, we are so happy to hear you haven't had a flare up in months! Yes, Dr. Herrera is great at listening and pinpointing the root issue and then creating a personalized plan to help you prevail! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
