Regenerative Joint Treatment in Bauchi

Your blood gives PRP, a platelet-rich plasma, and a small sample of adipose tissue gives SVF, a fraction of cells. Their actions differ, which is why they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect in the joint.

Using your own tissue in both methods means a very low risk of rejection or an allergic reaction. Temporary pain, swelling or bruising can happen with any injection, and infection is rare. The doctor explains the risks for your case during 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.

The procedure is not done in people with cancer, acute infections, blood clotting disorders, during pregnancy or during a flare-up of a serious chronic illness. The doctor checks this at the consultation.

PRP or SVF injections combined with exercise therapy and physiotherapy can, at early stages, reduce pain and improve movement. For a joint that is already badly damaged, replacement may be the more realistic option — after seeing your scans, the doctor will tell you honestly.

At early stages (1–2), SVF therapy may be considered to support blood supply to the femoral head and delay the need for joint replacement. At later stages surgery is usually required.

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. Once we receive your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports, a doctor reviews them free of charge and tells you whether the procedure could be right for you and what else may be needed.

Typically within a day or two. You need no crutches and no long rehabilitation, and the doctor advises you on exercise and load for the first weeks.

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