Non-Surgical Joint Treatment in Bengaluru

PRP is platelet-rich plasma made from your blood; SVF is a fraction of cells isolated from a small sample of your adipose tissue. They act in different ways and are often used together for a stronger 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 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.

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

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.

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.

Of course. Send the X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports you have; a doctor reviews them free and tells you if the procedure could suit you and what further steps may be needed.

Usually a day or two is enough. There is no long rehabilitation and no crutches, and in the first weeks you follow the doctor's recommendations on load and exercise.

PRP is an option for rotator cuff and shoulder joint problems, and SVF can be considered for more advanced arthritis of the shoulder. The doctor first pins down the cause of the pain, and suitability depends on it.
