PRP Therapy for Arthritis in Srinagar

Arthritis inflames the joints. Classic signs: pain when resting and at night, over 30 minutes of stiffness in the morning, swelling, and a red, warm joint. Infections, gout, psoriasis and autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis are among its causes.

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.

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.

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.

Osteoarthritis is wear of the cartilage, usually showing as aching pain and a dry crunch with movement. Knee arthritis is inflammation from an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout, with redness, warmth, marked swelling and tenderness to touch.

Inflammation never stops stimulating the pain receptors of the joint, whether you move, rest or sleep at night. Treatment that targets inflammation, including PRP and SVF, can help ease this pain.

No. Joint injections — PRP and SVF too — are not given in pregnancy, as it is a contraindication. A rheumatologist and an obstetrician decide on arthritis treatment during pregnancy together.

Yes. Just send X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood test results; a doctor reviews them free of charge and tells you whether regenerative treatment might suit your type of arthritis.

Permanent joint deformity, loss of function, osteoporosis and damage to internal organs such as the heart, lungs and kidneys can follow if it goes untreated. Timely treatment is needed to prevent this.
