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 are there to help calm inflammation and pain and to support the joint's tissues; they do not stand in for a rheumatologist treating a systemic disease. The doctor first confirms what kind of arthritis it is and chooses the right time — never during an active joint infection or a severe flare.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
SVF, or stromal vascular fraction, is a mix of cells involved in tissue repair, isolated by processing a small amount of your adipose tissue. It is combined with plasma from your own blood and injected into the affected joint.
In inflammatory arthritis it is used for its effect on local inflammation and tissue repair, once the acute flare has settled.
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.
In rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis, the doctor may recommend it as one piece of the overall 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
Blood is taken from a vein in a small amount, later to be turned into platelet-rich plasma with growth factors.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
The doctor numbs the area with local anaesthetic and takes about 30 ml of adipose tissue through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh; stitches are not needed.
Processing in a centrifuge
In a centrifuge the sample separates into layers; the stromal vascular fraction is then 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
You go without crutches or a hospital stay, while the doctor keeps in touch after the procedure and follows the joint's response.

Follow-up visits
The doctor uses follow-up visits to check the joint's response and adjust the plan — typically pain eases during the first month, movement gets better over about three months and the full effect develops across around six months.

After the procedure
Most people are home the same day and back to their usual routine within a day or two, the puncture sites covered with small dressings. The joint may ache a little more during the first week, as expected. Over the first month the pain usually eases, over about three months mobility and activity improve, and the full effect builds over around six months. How long it holds varies individually with the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors, so no fixed result can be promised. If a rheumatologist treats you, do not drop your prescribed medication without consulting them.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is arthritis and what are its symptoms?
Joint inflammation defines arthritis. It typically brings pain at rest and at night, morning stiffness that lasts more than 30 minutes, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint. Autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, infections, gout and psoriasis can all lead to it.
Can PRP help with rheumatoid arthritis?
PRP is sometimes used in rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthritis to help reduce pain, swelling and local inflammation, since the growth factors released by platelets influence tissue repair and the immune response. It complements your rheumatologist's treatment rather than replacing it.
Can psoriatic arthritis be cured?
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.
How does SVF work in autoimmune arthritis?
Cells contained in SVF may modulate the local immune response and support the repair of damaged tissue in the joint. Because research is ongoing, your doctor will go over realistic expectations for your particular type of arthritis.
When is the treatment not suitable?
It is not done during an active infection of the joint, a severe flare, pregnancy, cancer or blood clotting disorders; instead the doctor postpones the procedure or proposes 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?
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. Pregnancy is a contraindication to joint injections, including PRP and SVF. Arthritis treatment during pregnancy is decided only together with a rheumatologist and an obstetrician.
Can I get a second opinion on my tests and scans?
Yes. Send us the results of your X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood tests: a doctor reviews them free of charge and tells you if regenerative treatment could suit your type of arthritis.
What happens if rheumatoid arthritis is not treated?
Left untreated, it can cause permanent joint deformity, loss of function, osteoporosis and damage to internal organs like the heart, lungs and kidneys. Timely treatment is needed to prevent these complications.
