What is arthritis
and when does this treatment fit?
Arthritis is the name for joint inflammation. Pain that comes at rest and at night, morning stiffness that persists beyond half an hour, swelling, redness and warmth over the joint are the classic signs. Causes vary, from autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis to gout, infection or an old 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.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
To obtain the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells that support tissue repair, a small sample of your adipose tissue is processed. The SVF is combined with your own plasma and injected into the affected joint.
After the acute flare settles, inflammatory arthritis can be treated with it for its action on tissue repair and local inflammation.
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 be advised for rheumatoid or other inflammatory arthritis, always as just one part of the overall plan of treatment.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
Whether the procedure suits you is decided once the doctor has examined your joint and reviewed your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound. If scans already exist, you can send them before visiting.
Blood sample for PRP
Platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is prepared later from a small amount of blood taken from your vein.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
A small portion of adipose tissue (about 30 ml) is collected under local anaesthetic through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh, with no stitches needed.
Processing in a centrifuge
Once the centrifuge has spun the sample into layers, the stromal vascular fraction is isolated and added to the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
The prepared material goes directly into the affected joint, with ultrasound guidance helping to place it accurately.
Follow-up
Without crutches and without a hospital stay: after the procedure the doctor stays in touch and follows the joint's response.

Follow-up visits
Follow-up visits let the doctor see how the joint responds and adjust the plan — pain usually eases over the first month, mobility improves over about three months, and the full effect develops over around six months.

After the procedure
Going home the same day is the norm, and within a day or two most people are back to daily life; the punctures are covered with small dressings. For the first week the joint may ache a little more — this is expected. Pain usually eases over the first month; mobility and activity improve over about three months; the full effect develops over around six months. The effect lasts differently for each person, depending on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors, and no one can promise a fixed result. If you are under a rheumatologist, talk to them before stopping prescribed medication.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is arthritis and what are its symptoms?
With arthritis, the joints are affected by inflammation. Typical are pain even at rest and at night, stiffness on waking that lasts more than 30 minutes, swelling, redness and a warm joint. Possible causes: autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, infections, gout and psoriasis.
Can PRP help with rheumatoid arthritis?
PRP may be used in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis to help reduce local inflammation, pain and swelling. Growth factors released by platelets influence the immune response and tissue repair. It complements, but does not replace, the treatment prescribed by your rheumatologist.
Can psoriatic arthritis be cured?
Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic disease that cannot currently be cured completely. The aim is long remission: controlling inflammation and preventing joint deformity. Regenerative injections can be one part of that plan.
How does SVF work in autoimmune arthritis?
SVF includes cells that can modulate the immune response at the site and support the repair of damaged joint tissue. Since research in this field is still ongoing, the doctor will discuss realistic expectations for your form 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?
Arthritis of the knee means inflammation — from an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout — with redness, warmth, marked swelling and tenderness when touched. Osteoarthritis is the wearing of cartilage and typically brings a dry crunch and aching pain on movement.
Why does an arthritic joint hurt even at rest?
Inflammation stimulates the joint's pain receptors non-stop: on movement, at rest, at night. Reducing the inflammation with treatment such as PRP and SVF can ease this pain.
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. 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?
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.
