Joint Treatment for Patients from Madurai

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 approaches use tissue from your own body, which makes rejection or an allergic reaction very unlikely. Temporary pain, swelling or bruising may occur, as after any injection, and infection is rare. The risks for your particular case are explained by the doctor 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.

The procedure is ruled out for cancer, acute infections and blood clotting disorders, during pregnancy and during a flare-up of a serious chronic illness. This is checked by the doctor at the consultation.

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

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.

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.

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.

Most people return within a day or two. There is no long rehabilitation and no need for crutches; the doctor gives advice on load and exercise for the first weeks.

PRP is used for problems with the shoulder joint and rotator cuff, while SVF may be considered for more advanced shoulder arthritis. Whether it suits you depends on what causes the pain, which the doctor establishes first.
