Non-Surgical Joint Treatment in Algiers

PRP is a platelet-rich plasma produced from your blood, and SVF is a fraction of cells isolated from a small sample of adipose tissue. They have different modes of action and are often combined to enhance the 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 differs from person to person. After PRP the effect often lasts from several months to around a year, and after SVF it may last longer. How long depends on the stage of the condition and on your body, so nobody can promise a fixed result.

The doctor checks at the consultation that you have no cancer, acute infection or blood clotting disorder, are not pregnant and are not in a flare-up of a serious chronic illness — in these cases the procedure is not done.

PRP or SVF injections, combined with exercise therapy and physiotherapy, can reduce pain and improve movement at early stages. If damage to the joint is already severe, replacement may be more realistic — the doctor gives an honest answer after seeing your scans.

For early stages (1–2), SVF therapy may be considered: it supports blood supply to the femoral head and can delay the need for a joint replacement. Surgery is usually required later on.

Keep in mind that replacement is major surgery with long rehabilitation, risks such as infection and implants that may eventually be redone. When changes are early or moderate, trying to preserve your own joint first often makes sense.

Yes. Send us your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports; a doctor will review them free of charge and tell you whether the procedure could suit you and what else might be needed.

Usually after a day or two. Crutches and long rehabilitation are not needed; for the first weeks you get recommendations on load and exercise from the doctor.

PRP is applied to shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems, and SVF may be considered if arthritis of the shoulder is more advanced. Whether it suits you depends on the cause of the pain — the first thing the doctor establishes.
