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 can support the tissues of the joint and help bring down inflammation and pain. They do not replace a rheumatologist when the disease is systemic. The doctor confirms your type of arthritis and the right timing first, and the procedure is not performed during a severe flare or an active joint infection.

Joints we treat

The doctor looks at your scans and then chooses which joint to treat, which method to use and how many injections — for large and small joints alike

Methods we use

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue

We take a small sample of your adipose tissue and process it to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells that take part in tissue repair. It is then combined with your own plasma and injected into the affected joint.

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

PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood

Plasma rich in platelets and growth factors is taken from a small amount of your blood and injected into the joint, where it helps calm inflammation and improves the conditions for tissue repair.

Rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis may call for it as one part of the overall treatment plan.

How the procedure goes: step by step

Consultation and scan review

After examining the joint and reviewing your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound, the doctor decides whether the procedure is right for you. Scans you already have can be sent ahead of the visit.

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

Under local anaesthetic we take roughly 30 ml of adipose tissue through a single puncture on the abdomen or the inner thigh — no stitches required.

Processing in a centrifuge

A centrifuge spins the sample until it forms layers. The stromal vascular fraction is isolated from them and mixed with platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.

Injection into the joint

Using ultrasound guidance to place it precisely, the prepared material is injected directly into the joint that is affected.

Follow-up

No crutches, no hospital stay — and after the procedure the doctor stays in touch to follow how your joint responds.

Follow-up visits

3 months
6 months

Follow-up visits allow the doctor to track the joint's response and fine-tune the plan: pain generally eases over the first month, mobility improves in about three months, and the full effect develops over roughly 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.

Follow-up visits help the doctor see how the joint responds and adjust the plan. In Taiz, you receive recommendations on load and activity for the first weeks after the procedure.

The price depends on how many joints are treated and on the method. For patients from Taiz, the doctor explains the plan and the cost at a free consultation.
