Joint Pain Treatment in Abuja

SVF is a cell fraction isolated from a small sample of your adipose tissue, whereas PRP is platelet-rich plasma prepared from your blood. They work differently and are frequently combined for a stronger regenerative effect in the joint.

Rejection and allergic reactions are very unlikely because the material in both methods is your own tissue. Temporary pain, swelling or bruising are possible, as with any injection, and infection is rare. Your doctor explains the risks for your case at the consultation.

It varies. After PRP the effect often lasts from several months to about a year; after SVF it can last longer. Duration depends on the stage of the condition and on your body, so no one can promise a fixed result.

Cancer, acute infections, blood clotting disorders, pregnancy and a flare-up of a serious chronic illness all rule the procedure out. The doctor checks this at the consultation.

In early stages, a combination of PRP or SVF injections, exercise therapy and physiotherapy can reduce pain and improve movement. Where the joint is already badly damaged, replacement may be more realistic; the doctor will be honest with you once your scans are reviewed.

At an early stage (1–2), SVF therapy may help support the blood supply to the femoral head and delay the need for joint replacement. Surgery is usually required at later stages.

Replacement means major surgery, a long rehabilitation, risks including infection and implants that may eventually have to be redone. When changes are early or moderate, trying to preserve your own joint first often makes sense.

Yes, you can. A doctor reviews the X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports you send free of charge and tells you if the procedure could suit you and what else may be needed.

Within a day or two, as a rule. There are no crutches and no lengthy rehabilitation; the doctor provides recommendations on exercise and load for the first weeks.

PRP is used for problems with the shoulder joint and rotator cuff, while SVF may be considered for more advanced shoulder arthritis. Whether it suits you depends on what causes the pain, which the doctor establishes first.
