Non-Surgical Joint Treatment in Muscat

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from your blood, while SVF is a cell fraction taken from a small adipose tissue sample. Because they work differently, they are often combined to strengthen the regenerative effect in the joint.

Because both methods use your own tissue, the risk of rejection or allergy is very low. As with any injection, there may be temporary pain, swelling or bruising, and infection is rare. At the consultation the doctor explains the risks in your case.

Duration is individual. PRP often works for several months to about a year, while SVF may last longer. It depends on the stage of the condition and your body, which is why no one can promise a fixed result.

The doctor checks at the consultation that you have no cancer, acute infection or blood clotting disorder, are not pregnant and are not in a flare-up of a serious chronic illness — in these cases the procedure is not done.

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.

For early stages (1–2), SVF therapy may be considered: it supports blood supply to the femoral head and can delay the need for a joint replacement. Surgery is usually required later on.

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 us your X-rays, MRI, CT or medical reports; a doctor will review them free of charge and tell you whether the procedure could suit you and what else might be needed.

Within a day or two, as a rule. There are no crutches and no lengthy rehabilitation; the doctor provides recommendations on exercise and load for the first weeks.

PRP helps with shoulder joint and rotator cuff problems, and SVF may be considered when shoulder arthritis is more advanced. It depends on the cause of the pain — the doctor establishes it first.
