Joint Pain Treatment in Maiduguri

PRP means platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood; SVF means a cell fraction isolated from a small portion of your adipose tissue. Working in different ways, they are often combined for a stronger regenerative effect.

The risk of rejection or allergy is very low, since both methods use your own tissue. Like any injection, they can cause temporary pain, swelling or bruising, while infection happens rarely. At the consultation the doctor explains what the risks are for you.

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.

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.

In the early stages, PRP or SVF injections together with exercise therapy and physiotherapy can ease pain and improve movement. If the joint is already severely damaged, a replacement may be the more realistic choice — the doctor will tell you honestly once they have seen your scans.

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.

Replacement is major surgery that brings long rehabilitation, risks including infection, and implants that may eventually need redoing. So with early or moderate changes it often makes sense to first try preserving your own joint.

Yes. Once we receive your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports, a doctor reviews them free of charge and tells you whether the procedure could be right for 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 shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems PRP is used, and for more advanced arthritis of the shoulder SVF may be considered. Suitability depends on the cause of your pain, and the doctor identifies that first.
