Non-Surgical Joint Treatment in Mecca

The difference: PRP is plasma rich in platelets, obtained from your blood, and SVF is a cell fraction isolated from a little of your adipose tissue. Their mechanisms differ, so 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.

That varies. Often the effect after PRP lasts several months up to about a year, and after SVF it can be longer. The duration depends on the stage of the condition and on your body, so a fixed result cannot be promised.

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.

When the condition is at an early stage, injections of PRP or SVF alongside exercise therapy and physiotherapy can ease pain and improve mobility. With a badly damaged joint, replacement may be the realistic option, and the doctor will be honest about this after seeing your scans.

SVF therapy at early stages (1–2) may be considered to support blood flow to the femoral head and push back the need for joint replacement. Later stages generally need surgery.

A replacement is major surgery: rehabilitation is long, there are risks such as infection, and the implant may eventually need redoing. If changes are early or moderate, it often makes sense to try saving your own joint first.

Yes. A doctor will review your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports free of charge once you send them, and explain whether the procedure could suit you and what else might be needed.

In most cases within a day or two. No crutches, no long rehabilitation — the doctor recommends how to manage load and exercise in 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.
