Joint Inflammation Treatment in Kaduna

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.

PRP can play a part in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis by helping reduce local inflammation, swelling and pain. Platelets release growth factors that influence tissue repair and the immune response. It works alongside your rheumatologist's prescribed treatment, not instead of it.

As a chronic disease, psoriatic arthritis cannot yet be cured completely; treatment works towards long remission, controlled inflammation and prevention of joint deformity. Regenerative injections can be part of that plan.

SVF contains cells that can adjust the local immune response and help repair damaged tissue in the joint. Research here is still ongoing, so the doctor will talk through realistic expectations for your type of arthritis.

If you have an active joint infection, a severe flare, cancer or a blood clotting disorder, or are pregnant, the procedure is not done; the doctor postpones it or offers another option.

With knee arthritis, an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout causes inflammation — redness, warmth, marked swelling, tenderness to touch. Osteoarthritis is different: the cartilage wears, and the usual signs are a dry crunch and aching pain during movement.

The pain comes because inflammation keeps stimulating the joint's pain receptors, at rest, at night and during movement. Treatment aimed at lowering inflammation — PRP and SVF included — can ease it.

No. Because pregnancy is a contraindication to joint injections, including PRP and SVF, arthritis treatment during pregnancy is only decided jointly by a rheumatologist and an obstetrician.

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.

Without treatment it can lead to permanent joint deformity, loss of function, osteoporosis and damage to internal organs such as the heart, lungs and kidneys. Timely treatment is needed to prevent these complications.
