What is regenerative
joint treatment?
Regenerative treatment of the joints relies on material taken from your own body: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from blood, and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) obtained from a small sample of adipose tissue. This material is injected into the problem joint to ease pain and inflammation and to support the tissues within it.
People with joint pain choose it to avoid surgery or push it back, including those told a joint replacement is the only way. A lasting effect is more likely the earlier the condition is caught; the doctor evaluates this using your scans.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
The method starts with a small adipose tissue sample, which is processed to separate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells active in tissue repair. With your own plasma added, it is injected into the affected joint.
It is usually the choice when changes in the joint are more marked and the aim is a longer-lasting effect.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
The doctor separates plasma rich in platelets and growth factors from a small amount of your blood and injects it into the joint. This helps to calm inflammation and supports tissue repair.
Used by itself as an injection course, or together with SVF.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
An examination of the joint and a review of your X-ray, MRI or ultrasound results let the doctor decide whether the procedure suits you. Please send any scans you have before the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
A little blood is drawn from a vein; platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is prepared from it later.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
Through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh, about 30 ml of adipose tissue is taken under local anaesthetic, and no stitches are required.
Processing in a centrifuge
In a centrifuge the sample separates into layers. The stromal vascular fraction is then isolated and combined with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
The prepared material is injected straight into the affected joint under ultrasound guidance, which helps to place it precisely.
Follow-up
No stay in hospital and no crutches are needed. The doctor stays in touch after the procedure to see how the joint responds.

Follow-up visits
Through follow-up visits the doctor monitors the joint and adjusts the plan. As a rule, pain eases over the first month, mobility improves over around three months, and the full effect appears over about six months.

After the procedure
Going home the same day is the norm, and normal daily activity usually resumes within a day or two; small dressings protect the puncture sites. The joint can ache a little more during the first week — this is expected. Pain tends to ease over the first month, mobility and activity improve over about three months, and the full effect develops over around six months. The duration varies from person to person with the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors, so a fixed result cannot be promised. The doctor gives individual guidance on exercise and load for the first weeks.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between PRP and SVF?
The difference: PRP is plasma rich in platelets, obtained from your blood, and SVF is a cell fraction isolated from a little of your adipose tissue. Their mechanisms differ, so they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect.
Is the treatment safe?
With both methods the tissue is your own, so the chance of rejection or an allergic reaction is very low. Any injection can bring temporary pain, swelling or bruising, and infection is rare. The doctor talks you through the risks in your case at the consultation.
How long does the effect last?
Duration is individual. PRP often works for several months to about a year, while SVF may last longer. It depends on the stage of the condition and your body, which is why no one can promise a fixed result.
Who should not have the procedure?
The procedure is not performed in people with cancer, acute infections or blood clotting disorders, in pregnancy, or during a flare-up of a serious chronic illness. The doctor checks for this at the consultation.
Can I treat hip osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis) without surgery?
Early-stage osteoarthritis often responds to PRP or SVF injections together with exercise therapy and physiotherapy, which can reduce pain and improve movement. If the joint is badly damaged already, replacement may be the more realistic option, as the doctor will honestly tell you after seeing your scans.
Can avascular necrosis of the hip be treated?
SVF therapy may be an option at early stages (1–2) to support blood supply to the femoral head and postpone joint replacement. At later stages, surgery is usually needed.
Why try to avoid joint replacement?
With early or moderate changes, trying to keep your own joint first is often the sensible path — a replacement means major surgery, lengthy rehabilitation, risks such as infection and implants that might eventually be redone.
Can I get a second opinion on my scans?
Yes. Your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports are reviewed by a doctor free of charge, and you will hear whether the procedure could suit you and what else may be needed.
How soon can I return to normal life?
Most people return within a day or two. There is no long rehabilitation and no need for crutches; the doctor gives advice on load and exercise for the first weeks.
Does the treatment help with shoulder pain?
The doctor first establishes what is causing the pain: PRP is used for shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems, and SVF may be considered for more advanced arthritis of the shoulder. Suitability depends on that cause.

Joint treatment in Ahmedabad: from scan review to follow-up
Joint treatment in Ahmedabad is built around keeping your own joint. Instead of a long rehabilitation after surgery, you get injections under local anaesthetic, no crutches and no hospital stay, and the doctor stays in touch afterwards.
Over about three months mobility and activity usually improve, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long it lasts depends on the stage of the condition, body weight and activity, so no one can promise a fixed result to patients in Ahmedabad.
Leave a request, and a coordinator will contact you to arrange a free consultation and scan review. The price of joint treatment in Ahmedabad is set individually and explained before any procedure.
