Knee Arthritis Treatment in Chandigarh

Arthritis — inflammation of the joints — typically shows as pain at rest and at night, morning stiffness of more than 30 minutes, swelling, and redness with warmth over the joint. It may result from autoimmune conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, for instance), infections, gout or psoriasis.

In inflammatory arthritis, rheumatoid included, PRP may help cut local inflammation, pain and swelling. Growth factors released by the platelets shape the immune response and support tissue repair. It is a complement to, not a substitute for, your rheumatologist's treatment.

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.

Research in this field is ongoing: SVF contains cells that can modulate the local immune response and support repair of damaged joint tissue, and the doctor will discuss realistic expectations for your type of arthritis.

The doctor postpones the procedure or suggests another option in cases of active joint infection, a severe flare, pregnancy, cancer or blood clotting disorders, as it is not done then.

Arthritis of the knee means inflammation — from an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout — with redness, warmth, marked swelling and tenderness when touched. Osteoarthritis is the wearing of cartilage and typically brings a dry crunch and aching pain on movement.

In an inflamed joint the pain receptors are stimulated all the time — during movement, at rest and at night. This pain can be eased by treatment aimed at reducing the inflammation, such as PRP and SVF.

No — pregnancy is a contraindication to any joint injections, PRP and SVF among them. During pregnancy, arthritis treatment is decided only with a rheumatologist and an obstetrician together.

Yes. Just send X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood test results; a doctor reviews them free of charge and tells you whether regenerative treatment might suit your type of arthritis.

Timely treatment is needed, because without it the disease can lead to permanent joint deformity, loss of function, osteoporosis and damage to internal organs such as the heart, lungs and kidneys.
