PRP Therapy for Arthritis in Bauchi

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.

Platelets release growth factors that influence both tissue repair and the immune response, which is why PRP may be used in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis to help reduce local inflammation, pain and swelling. It complements rather than replaces your rheumatologist's prescribed treatment.

Psoriatic arthritis is chronic and, for now, cannot be cured completely. Treatment therefore aims at long remission, controlling inflammation and preventing the joints from deforming. Regenerative injections may be one part of that plan.

Cells contained in SVF may modulate the local immune response and support the repair of damaged tissue in the joint. Because research is ongoing, your doctor will go over realistic expectations for your particular type of arthritis.

It is not done during an active infection of the joint, a severe flare, pregnancy, cancer or blood clotting disorders; instead the doctor postpones the procedure or proposes another option.

Inflammation from an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout is knee arthritis — redness, warmth, marked swelling and a knee tender to touch. Cartilage wear is osteoarthritis, which usually shows as aching pain and a dry crunch when moving.

The joint's pain receptors are stimulated by inflammation continuously: during movement, at rest and at night. Easing this pain is possible with treatment that reduces inflammation, including PRP and SVF.

No. Pregnancy is a contraindication to joint injections, including PRP and SVF. Arthritis treatment during pregnancy is decided only together with a rheumatologist and an obstetrician.

Yes. Your X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood test results are reviewed by a doctor free of charge, and you will hear whether regenerative treatment could suit your type of arthritis.

Untreated, it can result in permanent joint deformity, lost function, osteoporosis and damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys and other internal organs. These complications are prevented by timely treatment.
