What is arthritis
and when does this treatment fit?
When a joint becomes inflamed, doctors call it arthritis. Common signs include night and resting pain, morning stiffness longer than half an hour, swelling, and redness with warmth over the joint. It can stem from autoimmune disease (rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis), gout, infection or an earlier injury.
While PRP and SVF can lower inflammation and pain and help the joint's inner tissues, a systemic disease still needs a rheumatologist — these injections do not take their place. They are never given during an active joint infection or a strong flare; the doctor first establishes the type of arthritis and times the procedure.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) — a blend of cells involved in repairing tissue — is isolated by processing a small sample of your adipose tissue. Mixed with your own plasma, it goes into the affected joint by injection.
In cases of inflammatory arthritis it comes in once the acute flare has eased, for its effect on local inflammation and repair of tissue.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
Plasma rich in platelets and growth factors is separated from a small amount of your blood and injected into the joint. It helps calm inflammation and creates better conditions for tissue repair.
For rheumatoid and other forms of inflammatory arthritis it may be suggested as one component of the overall plan of treatment.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
First comes an examination of the joint and a look at your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound; then the doctor decides whether the procedure fits your case. Existing scans can be sent before the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
Only a small amount of venous blood is taken; it is later used to prepare platelet-rich plasma with growth factors.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
Roughly 30 ml of adipose tissue is removed through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh under local anaesthetic, and no stitches are needed afterwards.
Processing in a centrifuge
A centrifuge spins the sample until it forms layers. The stromal vascular fraction is isolated from them and mixed with platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
We inject the prepared material right into the affected joint, guided by ultrasound so that it is placed precisely.
Follow-up
There are no crutches and no hospital stay. After the procedure the doctor keeps in touch and follows how the joint responds.

Follow-up visits
The plan is adjusted at follow-up visits, where the doctor sees how the joint responds: pain tends to ease over the first month, mobility to improve over about three months, and the full effect to develop over roughly six months.

After the procedure
Most people are home the same day and back to their usual routine within a day or two, the puncture sites covered with small dressings. The joint may ache a little more during the first week, as expected. Over the first month the pain usually eases, over about three months mobility and activity improve, and the full effect builds over around six months. How long it holds varies individually with the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors, so no fixed result can be promised. If a rheumatologist treats you, do not drop your prescribed medication without consulting them.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is arthritis and what are its symptoms?
The joints are inflamed in arthritis, which usually means pain at rest and at night, morning stiffness lasting beyond 30 minutes, swelling, redness and warmth. Autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, infections, gout and psoriasis are among the causes.
Can PRP help with rheumatoid arthritis?
PRP may help with local inflammation, pain and swelling in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis. The platelets release growth factors that affect tissue repair and the immune response. Your rheumatologist's treatment stays in place — PRP complements it and does not replace it.
Can psoriatic arthritis be cured?
Being chronic, psoriatic arthritis cannot at present be cured completely. The target is a long remission in which inflammation is controlled and joint deformity prevented; regenerative injections can be one element of the plan.
How does SVF work in autoimmune arthritis?
The cells in SVF can modulate the immune response locally and support repair of damaged joint tissue. As research in this area continues, the doctor will discuss what you can realistically expect for your type of arthritis.
When is the treatment not suitable?
It is not done during an active joint infection, a severe flare, pregnancy, cancer or blood clotting disorders. In these cases the doctor postpones the procedure or suggests another option.
How is knee arthritis different from osteoarthritis?
Knee arthritis is inflammation caused by an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout: redness, warmth, marked swelling and tenderness to touch. Osteoarthritis is wear of the cartilage and usually shows as a dry crunch and aching pain on movement.
Why does an arthritic joint hurt even at rest?
Inflammation never stops stimulating the pain receptors of the joint, whether you move, rest or sleep at night. Treatment that targets inflammation, including PRP and SVF, can help ease this pain.
Can joint injections be done during pregnancy?
No. Joint injections — PRP and SVF too — are not given in pregnancy, as it is a contraindication. A rheumatologist and an obstetrician decide on arthritis treatment during pregnancy together.
Can I get a second opinion on my tests and scans?
Yes. Once you send your X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood test results, a doctor reviews them at no cost and says whether regenerative treatment could suit your type of arthritis.
What happens if rheumatoid arthritis is not treated?
It needs timely treatment: otherwise it can lead to permanent deformity and loss of function of the joint, osteoporosis and damage to internal organs, including the heart, lungs and kidneys.
