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.
While PRP and SVF can lower inflammation and pain and help the joint's inner tissues, a systemic disease still needs a rheumatologist — these injections do not take their place. They are never given during an active joint infection or a strong flare; the doctor first establishes the type of arthritis and times the procedure.

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

Joint surfaces that have worn, plus pain after sports strain or overuse
Hand and wrist joints
Small finger and wrist joints that feel stiff and hurt
Knee
Cartilage wear, meniscus problems, pain on stairs and after walking
Hip
Early hip osteoarthritis, groin pain, limited rotation
Ankle
Pain and stiffness after sprains and old injuries
Shoulder
Pain lifting the arm, with wear of the joint and its surrounding tendons
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.
For inflammatory arthritis it is applied after the acute flare has calmed, because of its effect on local inflammation and on tissue repair.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
We separate plasma rich in platelets and growth factors from a small quantity of your blood and inject it into the joint. There it helps quieten inflammation and sets up better conditions for tissue repair.
As a single element of the wider plan, it can be advised in rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
First comes an examination of the joint and a look at your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound; then the doctor decides whether the procedure fits your case. Existing scans can be sent before the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
Only a small amount of venous blood is taken; it is later used to prepare platelet-rich plasma with growth factors.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
With local anaesthetic, a small amount of adipose tissue — about 30 ml — is collected through a puncture on the inner thigh or abdomen, and no stitches are required.
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 is injected directly into the affected joint under ultrasound guidance, which helps place it precisely.
Follow-up
No crutches and no hospital stay. The doctor stays in touch after the procedure and follows how the joint responds.

Follow-up visits
Follow-up appointments show the doctor how the joint is responding so the plan can be adjusted. Most often pain eases during the first month, mobility gets better over about three months and the full effect arrives over around six months.

After the procedure
Most patients go home on the same day and are back to normal daily activity within a day or two; small dressings cover the puncture sites. In the first week the joint may ache slightly more — an expected 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 it lasts varies from person to person, depending on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — nobody can promise a fixed result. If a rheumatologist is treating you, do not stop your prescribed medication without talking to 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?
In inflammatory arthritis, rheumatoid included, PRP may help cut local inflammation, pain and swelling. Growth factors released by the platelets shape the immune response and support tissue repair. It is a complement to, not a substitute for, your rheumatologist's treatment.
Can psoriatic arthritis be cured?
There is currently no way to cure psoriatic arthritis completely, as it is a chronic disease. The aim is long remission: keeping inflammation in check and preventing joint deformity, with regenerative injections as one possible part of the 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?
If you have an active joint infection, a severe flare, cancer or a blood clotting disorder, or are pregnant, the procedure is not done; the doctor postpones it or offers another option.
How is knee arthritis different from osteoarthritis?
Inflammation from an autoimmune reaction, infection or gout is knee arthritis — redness, warmth, marked swelling and a knee tender to touch. Cartilage wear is osteoarthritis, which usually shows as aching pain and a dry crunch when moving.
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. In pregnancy, joint injections such as PRP and SVF are contraindicated, and any arthritis treatment is decided only together with a rheumatologist and an obstetrician.
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?
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.
