Arthritis Treatment in Latakia: Steps and Aftercare

In arthritis the joints are inflamed. People usually notice pain at night and at rest, stiffness in the morning that lasts more than 30 minutes, swelling, and redness and heat over the joint. It can be caused by autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, by infections, by gout or by psoriasis.

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.

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.

Research in this field is ongoing: SVF contains cells that can modulate the local immune response and support repair of damaged joint tissue, and the doctor will discuss realistic expectations for your type of arthritis.

It is not done during an active joint infection, a severe flare, pregnancy, cancer or blood clotting disorders. In these cases the doctor postpones the procedure or suggests another option.

Knee arthritis is an inflammation, driven by an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout, that shows as redness, warmth, marked swelling and tenderness to the touch. Osteoarthritis means worn cartilage and usually presents as aching pain and a dry crunch on 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 — send us your X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood test results. A doctor reviews them free of charge and tells you whether your type of arthritis could suit regenerative treatment.

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.
