What is arthritis
and when does this treatment fit?
An inflamed joint is the core of arthritis. Look for pain at night or when resting, stiffness in the morning for longer than half an hour, swelling, and a joint that is red and warm. The cause can be autoimmune (rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis), gout, infection or a long-past 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.

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 strain in sport or overuse, and worn surfaces inside the joint
Hand and wrist joints
Painful, stiff small joints of the wrist and fingers
Knee
Pain on stairs or after walking, cartilage wear and meniscus problems
Hip
Early hip osteoarthritis, groin pain, limited rotation
Ankle
Pain and stiffness after sprains and old injuries
Shoulder
Wear of the joint and the tendons around it, pain on raising the arm
Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
A little of your adipose tissue is collected and processed so that the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mixture of cells that help tissue repair, can be isolated. Together with your own plasma it is injected into the joint that is affected.
Inflammatory arthritis is one use for it, once the acute flare has settled — because it acts on local inflammation and tissue repair.
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.
As one element of the whole treatment plan, it may be recommended in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
Your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound are reviewed and the joint is examined, after which the doctor decides whether this procedure suits you. Already have scans? You can send them in advance.
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
Roughly 30 ml of adipose tissue is removed through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh under local anaesthetic, and no stitches are needed afterwards.
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
The affected joint receives the prepared material by direct injection under ultrasound guidance, for precise placement.
Follow-up
No hospital stay and no crutches. Once the procedure is done, the doctor remains in touch and tracks how your joint responds.

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
Small dressings cover the punctures, and most people go home that same day, getting back to everyday activity within a day or two. Expect the joint to ache a little more in the first week — a normal reaction. Pain usually eases over the first month, mobility and activity improve over about three months, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long the result lasts varies with the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors; no one can promise a fixed outcome. If you are being treated by a rheumatologist, keep your prescribed medication unless you have talked it over with them.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is arthritis and what are its symptoms?
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.
Can PRP help with rheumatoid arthritis?
PRP may help with local inflammation, pain and swelling in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis. The platelets release growth factors that affect tissue repair and the immune response. Your rheumatologist's treatment stays in place — PRP complements it and does not replace it.
Can psoriatic arthritis be cured?
At present psoriatic arthritis, a chronic disease, cannot be cured completely. Treatment aims at long remission by controlling inflammation and preventing deformity of the joints; regenerative injections may be one part of this plan.
How does SVF work in autoimmune arthritis?
Damaged tissue in the joint can be supported in its repair by the cells in SVF, which also modulate the local immune response. Research continues, so the doctor will set out realistic expectations for your type of arthritis.
When is the treatment not suitable?
Active joint infection, a severe flare, pregnancy, cancer and blood clotting disorders all rule out the procedure; in these cases the doctor postpones it or proposes another option.
How is knee arthritis different from osteoarthritis?
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.
Why does an arthritic joint hurt even at rest?
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.
Can joint injections be done during pregnancy?
No: joint injections, including PRP and SVF, are contraindicated in pregnancy. Decisions on treating arthritis while pregnant are made only with a rheumatologist and an obstetrician together.
Can I get a second opinion on my tests and scans?
Yes. Send your X-rays, MRI, ultrasound or blood test results, and a doctor will review them free of charge and tell you whether 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.
