What is regenerative
joint treatment?
Material from your own body is at the heart of regenerative joint treatment — PRP, a platelet-rich plasma derived from blood, and SVF, the stromal vascular fraction derived from a small sample of adipose tissue. Placed into the affected joint by injection, it reduces pain and inflammation and supports the joint's tissues.
Joint pain and a wish to avoid or put off surgery, or a verdict that replacement is the only route — these are the typical reasons people come. An earlier stage of the condition means a better chance of lasting relief, and the doctor assesses it from your scans.

Methods we use
Cell therapy (SVF) from your own adipose tissue
A small sample of your adipose tissue is processed to isolate the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) — a mix of cells involved in tissue repair. Combined with your own plasma, it is injected into the affected joint.
The usual reason to choose it: more pronounced changes in the joint and the goal of a longer-lasting effect.
PRP — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood
Platelet- and growth-factor-rich plasma is obtained from a little of your blood and injected into the joint, where it helps calm inflammation and improves the conditions for tissue repair.
It can be given as its own course of injections or combined with SVF.
How the procedure goes: step by step
Consultation and scan review
The doctor assesses the joint in person and reviews X-rays, MRI or ultrasound, then decides if you are a candidate for the procedure. Scans you have can be sent before the visit.
Blood sample for PRP
All it takes is a little venous blood; later on it becomes platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors.
The doctor tells you in advance which tests are needed.
Adipose tissue sample
Under local anaesthetic, a small portion of adipose tissue (about 30 ml) is taken through a puncture on the abdomen or inner thigh. No stitches are needed.
Processing in a centrifuge
After centrifuging, the sample forms separate layers; the stromal vascular fraction is taken from them and combined with the platelet-rich plasma.
The whole procedure is done in one day.
Injection into the joint
The doctor injects the prepared material directly into the affected joint, using ultrasound to place it precisely.
Follow-up
You go without crutches and without a hospital stay; the doctor keeps in contact after the procedure and follows your joint's progress.

Follow-up visits
At follow-up visits the doctor sees how the joint is responding and adjusts the plan: pain usually eases in the first month, mobility improves over roughly three months, and the full effect develops over about six months.

After the procedure
Small dressings go over the puncture sites and, in most cases, you go home the same day and return to normal daily activity within a day or two. During the first week a little more aching in the joint is an expected reaction. Pain usually eases over the first month; mobility and activity improve over around three months; the full effect develops over about six months. Duration differs between individuals, depending on the stage of the condition, body weight, activity and other factors — no fixed result can be promised by anyone. The doctor gives individual advice on exercise and load for the first weeks.

Joint treatment: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between PRP and SVF?
PRP is a platelet-rich plasma produced from your blood, and SVF is a fraction of cells isolated from a small sample of adipose tissue. They have different modes of action and are often combined to enhance the regenerative effect in the joint.
Is the treatment safe?
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.
How long does the effect last?
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.
Who should not have the procedure?
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.
Is non-surgical treatment possible for hip osteoarthritis (coxarthrosis)?
At an early stage, combining PRP or SVF injections with exercise therapy and physiotherapy can reduce pain and help movement. When the joint is already badly damaged, replacement may be more realistic, and the doctor will say so honestly after seeing your scans.
Can avascular necrosis of the hip be treated?
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.
Why try to avoid joint replacement?
Replacement is major surgery with long rehabilitation, risks such as infection, and implants that may eventually need to be redone. With early or moderate changes it often makes sense to try to preserve your own joint first.
Can I get a second opinion on my scans?
Yes, you can. A doctor reviews the X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports you send free of charge and tells you if the procedure could suit you and what else may be needed.
How soon can I return to normal life?
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.
Does the treatment help with shoulder pain?
The doctor first establishes what is causing the pain: PRP is used for shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems, and SVF may be considered for more advanced arthritis of the shoulder. Suitability depends on that cause.

Joint treatment in Mumbai: a short guide
SVF and PRP work in different ways. PRP helps calm inflammation and creates better conditions for repair; SVF contains cells involved in tissue repair and is chosen when changes are more pronounced. For patients from Mumbai, the doctor often combines the two.
Follow-up visits help the doctor see how the joint responds and adjust the plan. In Mumbai, you receive recommendations on load and exercise for the first weeks, and the doctor stays in touch after the procedure.
Leave a request, and a coordinator will contact you to arrange a free consultation and scan review. The price of joint treatment in Mumbai is set individually and explained before any procedure.
