What is arthritis
and when does this treatment fit?
Arthritis refers to inflammation within a joint. Typical complaints are resting and night-time pain, morning stiffness beyond half an hour, swelling, redness and warmth. It may be driven by autoimmune disease like rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis, by gout, by an infection or by a former injury.
PRP and SVF can help reduce inflammation and pain and support the tissues inside the joint, but they do not replace care from a rheumatologist for a systemic disease. The procedure is not done during an active joint infection or a severe flare — the doctor first confirms the type of arthritis and chooses the right moment.

Joints we treat
Any size of joint, large or small: your scans are reviewed first, then the doctor settles on the joint, the method and the number of injections
Elbow
Pain after overuse or sports strain, wear of the joint surfaces
Hand and wrist joints
Stiffness and pain in the small joints of the fingers and wrist
Knee
Meniscus issues and cartilage wear, with pain after walking or on stairs
Hip
Early hip osteoarthritis, groin pain, limited rotation
Ankle
Pain and stiffness after sprains and old injuries
Shoulder
Pain as you raise the arm, plus wear of the joint and the tendons around it
Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
We take a small sample of your adipose tissue and process it to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells that take part in tissue repair. It is then combined with your own plasma and injected into the affected joint.
When the acute flare has died down, it can be used in inflammatory arthritis to act on local inflammation and help tissue repair.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
Plasma rich in platelets and growth factors is separated from a small amount of your blood and injected into the joint. It helps calm inflammation and creates 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
The doctor checks the joint, goes through your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound and decides if the procedure suits you. If you have scans already, feel free to send them before you come.
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
Separated into layers by spinning in a centrifuge, the sample yields the stromal vascular fraction, which is isolated and mixed with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
Direct injection into the affected joint under ultrasound guidance helps the prepared material land exactly where it is needed.
Follow-up
Crutches and a hospital stay are not needed. The doctor keeps in contact afterwards and monitors how the joint is responding.

Follow-up visits
Follow-up visits allow the doctor to track the joint's response and fine-tune the plan: pain generally eases over the first month, mobility improves in about three months, and the full effect develops over roughly six months.

After the procedure
Small dressings are placed over the puncture sites, and most people leave the same day, returning to everyday activity within a day or two. A little more aching in the joint during the first week is an expected reaction. Over the first month pain generally eases; mobility and activity improve over about three months; the full effect develops over around six months. The duration differs between people and depends on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and more, so a fixed result cannot be promised. Under a rheumatologist's care? Keep taking your prescribed medication unless you have discussed stopping it with them.

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?
A complete cure for psoriatic arthritis, a chronic disease, is not currently possible. What we aim for is long remission — control of inflammation and prevention of joint deformity — and regenerative injections can form one part of that plan.
How does SVF work in autoimmune arthritis?
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.
When is the treatment not suitable?
It is not done if there is an active joint infection, a severe flare, pregnancy, cancer or a blood clotting disorder. The doctor then postpones the procedure or offers another option.
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?
PRP, SVF and other treatment aimed at reducing inflammation can ease this pain, because inflammation keeps stimulating the joint's pain receptors all the time — at rest, on movement and at night.
Can joint injections be done during pregnancy?
No. PRP, SVF and other joint injections are contraindicated during pregnancy; how to treat arthritis while pregnant is decided only together with a rheumatologist and an obstetrician.
Can I get a second opinion on my tests and scans?
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.
What happens if rheumatoid arthritis is not treated?
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.
