What is regenerative
joint treatment?
Everything used in regenerative joint treatment comes from you: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is made from your blood, and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from a little adipose tissue. The doctor injects it into the painful joint to lessen inflammation and pain and to support the joint's inner tissues.
Suitable for people with joint pain who would rather avoid or postpone surgery, or who were told a joint replacement is inevitable. The earlier the condition, the better the odds of a lasting effect — something the doctor judges from your scans.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
A small sample of adipose tissue is taken and processed to obtain the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a mix of cells that take part in tissue repair. Mixed with your own plasma, it is then injected into the affected joint.
More marked changes in the joint and the wish for a longer-lasting effect are the usual reasons to choose it.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
A small amount of your blood is processed to separate plasma rich in platelets and growth factors, which is then injected into the joint. It helps settle inflammation and gives the tissues better conditions for repair.
It works either as a stand-alone course of injections or alongside SVF.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
An examination of the joint and a review of your X-ray, MRI or ultrasound results let the doctor decide whether the procedure suits you. Please send any scans you have before the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
We take a small blood sample from a vein. From it, platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors is prepared later on.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
The doctor numbs the area with local anaesthetic and takes about 30 ml of adipose tissue through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh. Stitches are not needed.
Processing in a centrifuge
In a centrifuge the sample separates into layers. The stromal vascular fraction is then isolated and combined with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
Ultrasound guidance allows the prepared material to be injected precisely, directly into the affected joint.
Follow-up
Neither a hospital stay nor crutches are required. The doctor stays in contact after the procedure and monitors how the joint responds.

Follow-up visits
Check-ups after the procedure show the doctor how the joint responds, so the plan can be adjusted — typically pain eases in the first month, mobility improves within about three months and the full effect develops over around six months.

After the procedure
Most patients return home that same day and get back to their usual daily activity in a day or two, with small dressings on the puncture sites. It is an expected reaction for the joint to ache slightly more in the first week. Over the first month the pain usually eases, over about three months mobility and activity get better, and over around six months the full effect develops. How long it lasts is individual — the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors all play a part — and no one can promise a fixed result. In the first weeks, your doctor advises you individually on exercise and load.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between PRP and SVF?
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.
Is the treatment safe?
Both methods rely on your own tissue, so rejection or an allergic reaction is very unlikely. Temporary pain, swelling or bruising can occur as with any injection, and infection is rare. The doctor goes through the risks for your case at the consultation.
How long does the effect last?
It differs from person to person. After PRP the effect often lasts from several months to around a year, and after SVF it may last longer. How long depends on the stage of the condition and on your body, so nobody can promise a fixed result.
Who should not have the procedure?
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.
Is treating coxarthrosis (hip osteoarthritis) possible without surgery?
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.
Can avascular necrosis of the hip be treated?
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.
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. After you send your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports, a doctor reviews them at no cost and tells you whether the procedure could be suitable and what else may be required.
How soon can I return to normal life?
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.
Does the treatment help with shoulder pain?
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.

Joint treatment in Dombivali: methods, steps and price
Knee problems are the most familiar reason to seek help: cartilage wear, meniscus damage, pain on stairs and after walking. Patients from Dombivali with hip, shoulder, ankle, elbow or wrist pain follow the same path — scan review, examination and a clear plan.
Over about three months mobility and activity usually improve, and the full effect develops over around six months. How long it lasts depends on the stage of the condition, body weight and activity, so no one can promise a fixed result to patients in Dombivali.
