What is arthritis
and when does this treatment fit?
In arthritis the joint is inflamed. People typically notice pain even at rest or at night, stiffness on waking that goes on for more than half an hour, swelling, and a red, warm joint. Behind it may be an autoimmune condition such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis, gout, an infection or old trauma.
PRP and SVF may help ease inflammation and pain and support the tissues within the joint, yet they are no substitute for a rheumatologist's care of a systemic disease. We do not carry out the procedure during an active joint infection or a severe flare — the doctor first confirms which arthritis you have and picks the right moment.

Shoulder
Raising the arm hurts; the joint and the tendons around it are worn
Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
The affected joint receives an injection of the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) — a set of cells involved in tissue repair, isolated from a small sample of your adipose tissue — combined with your own plasma.
After the acute flare settles, inflammatory arthritis can be treated with it for its action on tissue repair and local inflammation.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
Your blood, in a small amount, provides plasma rich in platelets and growth factors; injected into the joint, it helps ease inflammation and creates better conditions for repair of the tissues.
Recommended in some cases of rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis, it is one part of a broader treatment plan.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
The doctor decides on the procedure only after examining the joint and reviewing your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound. You are welcome to send any scans you have before the appointment.
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
Under local anaesthetic we take roughly 30 ml of adipose tissue through a single puncture on the abdomen or the inner thigh — no stitches required.
Processing in a centrifuge
The sample is spun in a centrifuge and separates into layers. The stromal vascular fraction is isolated and mixed with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
The prepared material is injected directly into the affected joint under ultrasound guidance, which helps place it precisely.
Follow-up
You need neither crutches nor a hospital stay. The doctor stays in contact after the procedure and watches the joint's response.

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 patients return home the same day and to normal activity within a day or two; small dressings are put over the puncture sites. The first week may bring slightly more aching in the joint, which is an expected reaction. During the first month the pain tends to ease, during about three months mobility and activity improve, and over around six months the full effect develops. How long it lasts depends on the person — the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — so a fixed result cannot be promised by anyone. Do not stop medication prescribed by your rheumatologist without talking to them first.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is arthritis and what are its symptoms?
Arthritis inflames the joints. Classic signs: pain when resting and at night, over 30 minutes of stiffness in the morning, swelling, and a red, warm joint. Infections, gout, psoriasis and autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis are among its causes.
Can PRP help with rheumatoid arthritis?
To help lower local inflammation, pain and swelling, PRP may be used in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis. Growth factors from platelets act on the immune response and on tissue repair. It supplements the treatment prescribed by your rheumatologist without replacing it.
Can psoriatic arthritis be cured?
The aim with psoriatic arthritis, a chronic disease that cannot currently be cured completely, is long remission — controlling inflammation and stopping joint deformity. One part of that plan can be regenerative injections.
How does SVF work in autoimmune arthritis?
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.
When is the treatment not suitable?
It is not carried out during pregnancy, a severe flare or an active joint infection, nor with cancer or blood clotting disorders. In these situations the doctor postpones it or suggests something else.
How is knee arthritis different from osteoarthritis?
In knee arthritis the inflammation comes from an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout: the knee is red, warm, markedly swollen and tender to touch. Osteoarthritis, by contrast, is cartilage wear, usually felt as a dry crunch and aching pain when moving.
Why does an arthritic joint hurt even at rest?
Inflammation keeps stimulating the pain receptors in the joint all the time — during movement, at rest and at night. Treatment aimed at reducing the inflammation, including PRP and SVF, can ease this pain.
Can joint injections be done during pregnancy?
No. In pregnancy, joint injections such as PRP and SVF are contraindicated, and any arthritis treatment is decided only together with a rheumatologist and an obstetrician.
Can I get a second opinion on my tests and scans?
Yes. A doctor will review your X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood test results free of charge and tell you if regenerative treatment could suit your type of arthritis — just send them.
What happens if rheumatoid arthritis is not treated?
When left without treatment it can bring permanent joint deformity, loss of function, osteoporosis and damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys and other internal organs. To prevent these complications, it needs timely treatment.
