What is arthritis
and when does this treatment fit?
Inflammation of a joint is what arthritis is. Its usual signs: pain at night and at rest, morning stiffness that takes over half an hour to wear off, swelling, redness and heat over the joint. Possible causes range from autoimmune diseases — rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis — to gout, infection or a previous 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.

Shoulder
Worn joint and nearby tendons, and pain when the arm is raised
Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
Your adipose tissue, in a small sample, is processed to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) — a combination of cells engaged in tissue repair. The affected joint then receives it by injection, together with your own plasma.
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
We separate plasma rich in platelets and growth factors from a small quantity of your blood and inject it into the joint. There it helps quieten inflammation and sets up better conditions for tissue repair.
It may form one part of the overall treatment plan in rheumatoid and other types of inflammatory arthritis.
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
With local anaesthetic, a small amount of adipose tissue — about 30 ml — is collected through a puncture on the inner thigh or abdomen, and no stitches are 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
Guided by ultrasound for accurate placement, the doctor injects the prepared material directly into the affected joint.
Follow-up
No crutches, no hospital stay — and after the procedure the doctor stays in touch to follow how your 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
Going home the same day is the norm, and within a day or two most people are back to daily life; the punctures are covered with small dressings. For the first week the joint may ache a little more — this is expected. Pain usually eases over the first month; mobility and activity improve over about three months; the full effect develops over around six months. The effect lasts differently for each person, depending on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors, and no one can promise a fixed result. If you are under a rheumatologist, talk to them before stopping prescribed medication.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is arthritis and what are its symptoms?
An inflammatory disease of the joints, arthritis typically causes resting and night-time pain, morning stiffness beyond 30 minutes, swelling, redness and warmth. Causes range from autoimmune conditions, for example rheumatoid arthritis, to infections, gout and psoriasis.
Can PRP help with rheumatoid arthritis?
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.
Can psoriatic arthritis be cured?
At present psoriatic arthritis, a chronic disease, cannot be cured completely. Treatment aims at long remission by controlling inflammation and preventing deformity of the joints; regenerative injections may be one part of this plan.
How does SVF work in autoimmune arthritis?
In SVF there are cells that can influence the local immune response and help damaged tissue in the joint to repair. The doctor will discuss realistic expectations for your type of arthritis, since research in this area is ongoing.
When is the treatment not suitable?
With an active joint infection, a severe flare, pregnancy, cancer or blood clotting disorders, the procedure is not done — the doctor either postpones it or suggests an alternative.
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 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. Joint injections, among them PRP and SVF, are contraindicated in pregnancy. Arthritis care during pregnancy is decided only together with an obstetrician and a rheumatologist.
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?
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.
