Knee and Hip Treatment in Dammam Without Surgery

PRP comes from your blood and is plasma rich in platelets; SVF is a cellular fraction from a small sample of your adipose tissue. Each works in its own way, and combining them often gives the joint a stronger regenerative effect.

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.

Results vary. The effect of PRP often holds for several months to about a year; SVF can keep working longer. How long it lasts depends on the stage of the condition and your own body — no one can promise a fixed result.

It is not carried out if you have cancer, an acute infection or a blood clotting disorder, if you are pregnant, or during a flare-up of a serious chronic illness. The doctor checks this at the consultation.

Early on, PRP or SVF injections plus exercise therapy and physiotherapy can lessen pain and improve how the joint moves. For a joint that is already badly damaged, replacement may be the more realistic option; after reviewing your scans the doctor will tell you honestly.

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.

Joint replacement is a major operation: rehabilitation takes long, infection is among the risks, and an implant may one day have to be redone. With early or moderate changes it is often sensible to try keeping your own joint first.

Yes. Your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports are reviewed by a doctor free of charge, and you will hear whether the procedure could suit you and what else may be needed.

Usually in a day or two. There are no crutches and no long rehabilitation; for the first weeks the doctor gives recommendations on load and exercise.

For the rotator cuff and the shoulder joint, PRP is used; SVF may be considered in more advanced shoulder arthritis. Whether this is right for you depends on the cause of the pain, which the doctor determines first.
