Regenerative Joint Treatment in Karol Bāgh

PRP is platelet-rich plasma prepared from your blood; SVF is a cell fraction isolated from a small sample of your adipose tissue. They work in different ways and are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect in the joint.

With both methods the tissue is your own, so the chance of rejection or an allergic reaction is very low. Any injection can bring temporary pain, swelling or bruising, and infection is rare. The doctor talks you through the risks in your case at the consultation.

There is no single answer. The effect of PRP often lasts several months to about a year, and SVF can last longer. Duration depends on your body and the stage of the condition, and 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.

When the condition is at an early stage (1–2), SVF therapy may be considered to support blood supply to the femoral head and delay a joint replacement; at later stages surgery is usually required.

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 — send your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports, and a doctor will look at them free of charge, then tell you whether the procedure could suit you and what else 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 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.
