PRP Injections for Joints in Basra

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.

Both methods use your own tissue, so the risk of rejection or an allergic reaction is very low. As with any injection, temporary pain, swelling or bruising are possible, and infection is rare. The doctor explains the risks for your case at the consultation.

It depends. PRP usually gives an effect lasting from several months to about a year; with SVF it can last longer. Because the stage of the condition and your body affect the duration, no one 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.

Stages 1–2 are early enough for SVF therapy to be considered, supporting blood supply to the femoral head and delaying joint replacement. At later stages, surgery is usually unavoidable.

Replacing a joint is major surgery, with long rehabilitation, risks such as infection and implants that may one day need replacing again. For early or moderate changes, it is often worth trying to keep your own joint first.

Yes — send your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports, and a doctor will look at them free of charge, then tell you whether 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.

Problems of the shoulder joint and rotator cuff are treated with PRP, and more advanced shoulder arthritis may call for SVF. It depends on the cause of your pain, which the doctor has to establish first.
