What is arthritis
and when does this treatment fit?

An inflamed joint is the core of arthritis. Look for pain at night or when resting, stiffness in the morning for longer than half an hour, swelling, and a joint that is red and warm. The cause can be autoimmune (rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis), gout, infection or a long-past injury.

These injections — PRP and SVF — can reduce pain and inflammation and support tissue inside the joint, but a systemic disease stays under a rheumatologist's care. During an active infection of the joint or a severe flare the procedure is not done: the doctor first confirms the arthritis type and chooses when to act.

Joints we treat

After going through your scans, the doctor selects the joint, the method and the number of injections — whether the joint is large or small

Methods we use

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

From a small sample of adipose tissue we isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of repair-related cells. Combined with your own plasma, the material is injected into the joint that is affected.

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

From a small amount of your blood, plasma rich in growth factors and platelets is separated and injected into the joint. It helps to calm inflammation and creates better conditions for repairing tissue.

It can be advised for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthritis, as a single element of the wider treatment plan.

How the procedure goes: step by step

Consultation and scan review

Examination of the joint and a review of X-rays, MRI or ultrasound let the doctor decide whether the procedure is suitable for you; scans you already have can be sent beforehand.

Blood sample for PRP

From a small amount of blood drawn from a vein, platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is prepared later on.
 
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.

Adipose tissue sample

Under local anaesthetic, a small portion of adipose tissue (about 30 ml) is taken through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh. No stitches are needed.

Processing in a centrifuge

Spinning in a centrifuge divides the sample into layers; the stromal vascular fraction is isolated and blended with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.

Injection into the joint

We inject the prepared material right into the affected joint, guided by ultrasound so that it is placed precisely.

Follow-up

The doctor follows how the joint responds and stays in touch after the procedure — and you need no crutches or hospital stay.

Follow-up visits

After 1 month
3 months
6 months

Follow-up appointments show the doctor how the joint is responding so the plan can be adjusted. Most often pain eases during the first month, mobility gets better over about three months and the full effect arrives over around six months.

After the procedure

After the procedure most patients leave the same day and resume ordinary daily activity within a day or two, with small dressings on the puncture sites. Slightly more aching in the joint during the first week is an expected reaction. Pain generally eases in the first month, mobility and activity get better over about three months, and the full effect develops over roughly six months. Duration varies from one person to another depending on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — nobody can promise a set outcome. If a rheumatologist is treating you, talk to them before you stop any prescribed medication.
