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.
It is an alternative for those with sore joints who prefer not to have surgery yet, or at all, and for those told they need a joint replacement. Earlier stages give a better chance of a durable effect; your scans show the doctor where you stand.

Joints we treat

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) — a combination of cells involved in tissue repair — is isolated by processing a small sample of your adipose tissue. It is combined with your plasma and injected into the joint that needs treatment.
It tends to be used when the joint is more visibly changed and a longer-lasting effect is being sought.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
Plasma rich in platelets and growth factors is separated from a small amount of your blood and injected into the joint. It helps calm inflammation and creates better conditions for tissue repair.
It can be used on its own as a course of injections, or together with SVF.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
The doctor examines your joint, looks at your X-rays, MRI or ultrasound and decides whether the procedure is right for you. Scans you already have can be sent ahead of the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
A small blood draw from a vein provides the material from which platelet-rich plasma with growth factors is later prepared.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
Under local anaesthetic, a small portion of adipose tissue (about 30 ml) is taken through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh. No stitches are needed.
Processing in a centrifuge
The sample goes into a centrifuge, where it separates into layers. The stromal vascular fraction is isolated and mixed with your platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
The finished material is injected into the affected joint itself, guided by ultrasound so that it lands precisely.
Follow-up
No crutches, no hospital stay — and after the procedure the doctor keeps in touch to follow the joint's response.

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
You will most likely go home on the day of the procedure and be back to normal daily activity in a day or two, with small dressings over the puncture sites. The joint may ache a little more for the first week, which is an expected reaction. Over the first month pain usually eases, mobility and activity improve over about three months, and it takes around six months for the full effect to develop. How long the effect lasts depends on the individual — the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — so nobody can promise a fixed result. The doctor gives you personal advice on exercise and load in the first weeks.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between PRP and SVF?
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.
Is the treatment safe?
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.
How long does the effect last?
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.
Who should not have the procedure?
It is not done during pregnancy, in people with cancer, acute infections or blood clotting disorders, or while a serious chronic illness is flaring up. The consultation is where the doctor checks this.
Can osteoarthritis of the hip (coxarthrosis) be treated without surgery?
At early stages, pain can be reduced and movement improved with PRP or SVF injections combined with exercise therapy and physiotherapy. Should the joint already be badly damaged, a replacement may be more realistic — the doctor tells you honestly after looking at your scans.
Can avascular necrosis of the hip be treated?
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.
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. A doctor will review your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports free of charge once you send them, and explain whether the procedure could suit you and what else might be needed.
How soon can I return to normal life?
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.
Does the treatment help with shoulder pain?
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.

Everything about regenerative joint treatment in Brampton
Joint pain does not always mean surgery. In Brampton, many people with early or moderate changes in the knee, hip or shoulder first try to preserve their own joint. SVF and PRP injections aim to reduce pain and inflammation and to slow further wear of the cartilage.
Follow-up visits help the doctor see how the joint responds and adjust the plan. In Brampton, you receive recommendations on load and exercise for the first weeks, and the doctor stays in touch after the procedure.
The price depends on how many joints are treated and which method is chosen. For patients from Brampton, the doctor explains the plan and the cost at the consultation, which is free.
